2013 MLB Draft: Final Scores

Saturday, July 13, 2013
by: Ben Embry

Last month after the draft was completed, I ranked each team's draft based on a simple scoring metric I had devised.  The top player on my final comp board was worth 1000 points and the 190th player was worth 1 point.  Well, I made two changes since then.  The first is, with the help of Baseball America's Top 500 list, I expanded my rankings to 250, which you'll see that update in a moment.  The second is I had missed Ben Wetzler being drafted by the Phillies, so I had to update that too.  And now that the signing deadline has come and gone, I backed out all of the players who didn't sign.  Before I show you the before and after rankings, here's that expanded comp board:

Ok, so here is the updated team rankings before factoring in those that did not sign:

Rank	Team	Total
1	COL	2767
2	BOS	2141
3	OAK	1904
4	CHC	1893
5	SD	1834
6	PIT	1800
7	ARI	1774
8	PHI	1772
9	HOU	1723
10	NYY	1695
11	CLE	1648
12	MIA	1606
13	MIN	1576
14	NYM	1420
15	TB	1351
16	KC	1307
17	DET	1265
18	STL	1238
19	CIN	1232
20	TOR	1219
21	SEA	1189
22	BAL	1143
23	CHW	1095
25	LAD	953
24	SF	936
26	TEX	924
27	ATL	858
29	WAS	768
28	MIL	734
30	LAA	448

New York went from 12th to 9th in the expanded rankings thanks to drafting 3 of the 60 additional names, (Cody Thomas, Gouske Katoh, and Tyler Wade).  There were 44 draftees from my top 250 list who did not sign.  The highest ranked were Phil Bickford (TOR), Kyle Serrano (COL), Matt Krook (MIA), Ryan Boldt (BOS), and Garrett Williams (SD).  Of those players, only Bickford and Krook were taken in the top 10 rounds which means the others were not reasonably expected to sign.  Bickford, the only first round pick to not sign, had reportedly floated a demand of $4.25 million pre-draft and apparently stuck to his guns because Toronto had only about $3.25 million in their pool to give him.  Krook opted to go to college back in June and from what I've heard there were injury issues that popped up in his post-draft physical that caused the Marlins to offer Krook a reduced bonus (Yankees and Ty Hensley did the same thing last year) and Krook decided to go to Oregon instead of take the reduced bonus.  As for the Yankees, they were unable to sign Cal Quantrill (ranked 109) and Cody Thomas (ranked 199).  Both were known to be tough signs which is why they were taken post - 10th round.  Quantrill is a Stanford signee and those guys are notoriously tough to sign and Cody Thomas is committed to play quarterback at the University of Oklahoma.

The Yankees improved their rankings from 9th to 8th, as you can see here:

Well, this was fun.  I'm already trolling my favorite scouts for 2014 rankings and will probably have the first comp board ready in October.
