If you're wondering how your draft picks graded out when all was said and done, this is your answer. The numbers on this table represent the total expected player rater points versus actual player rater points for all of our draft picks. If you trust my expected value math, you'll see that there is a decent correlation between our draft success and team success in 2013. Arch n' Rick usually go heavy on the pitching early in the draft and that pitch-first strategy paid off nicely in 2013 as they topped the draft ratings. Matt Suer proved that you don't need to target pitching in order to get great results. Matt Suer also proved that you don't even need to draft your own team to get great results. Matty let the CPU do most of the work and the computer picked a lot of nice sleeper bats for Matt. You can see from these grades that a good draft doesn't guarantee a title run but a bad draft will absolutely crush your chances. The bottom of this list looks very similar to the bottom of our final standings. Even though there is a lot of time to make up for your draft mistakes, it's pretty obvious that staying away from the busts on draft night is key to staying away from the Shocker Baseball basement.
