Current draft position for 2019? 12th

[arch stanton]

When you talk about acquiring talent in baseball think about how much Mark Appel and Brady Aiken are helping the Astros compared to the 7th rounder who won a Cy Young and the MVP who was signed as a 5’6” 16 year old in Venezuela. Nice to have overall no. 1 Correa and no. 2 Bregman but that puts them at 50% in top of the draft choices

Bregman was as a result of not signing Aiken

lots of crap shoot here is right.  certainly there's a difference between top 10 and 25 for the most part, but the variance is smaller than I would have thought.  

I dont understand. Are the per major leaguer figures on the far right a WAR figure? If so, how can those averages be so high on a per player basis?

It's a mean figure not a median. The number 1 overall pick for example has A-Rod and Griffey who account for over 200 WAR. That's 20% of the total WAR put up by #1 picks.
