24. St. Louis Cardinals (1)
SS Charles LeBlanc
Not much here in terms of prospect value. Probably in the back end of the Rangers top 50.

23. Miami Marlins (3)
LHP Joey Lucchesi
SS Michael Paez
SS Alexis Torres
Lucchesi is an interesting sleeper as a lefty who can pound the zone. I don't see Paez or Torres providing fantasy value.

22. San Diego Padres (3)
RHP Reggie Lawson
RHP Bailey Clark
SS Grae Kessinger
Lawson makes this class interesting, but he wouldn't have been my choice with higher-upside talents available nearby. Clark is a fine grab in the 5th. Kessinger could've been picked much later or not at all.

21. Milwaukee Brewers (7)
Preston Palmeiro, 1B
Blake Tiberi, 3B
Drew Harrington, LHP
Thomas Hackimer, RHP
Will Stillman, RHP
Donnie Walton, SS
Nicky Lopez, SS
I see prospects here, but I don't see prospects here. Tiberi is a weak headliner in a group of low-ceiling, older college players.

20. Cleveland Indians (4)
Will Smith, C
JoJo Romero, LHP
Ryan Scott, OF
Stephen Nogosek, RHP
Smith isn't my favorite fantasy catcher but it looks like the Dodgers are giving him the Austin Barnes middle-infield treatment, which makes him interesting. Romero and Nogosek are fair picks, especially where they were taken.

T19. Kansas City Royals
Nonie Williams, SS
T19. Chicago White Sox
Anthony Kay, LHP
One pick each and Kay would normally rank above Williams but the news of a possible arm injury drop him down to right about Williams' level. Each could be solid players given enough time.

17. Los Angeles Dodgers (6)
JaVon Shelby, 3B
Brian Serven, C
Logan Shore, RHP
Alex Call, OF
Dom Thompson-Williams, OF
Curtis Taylor, RHP
One of the strangest assortment of draft picks I've seen purely on based on the "Why does he like this guy so much after reading his scouting report?" assessment. I was low on all of these players but they still have legitimate tools, especially Shore. Serven is an underrated add and possibly my second favorite in the group.

16. Pittsburgh Pirates (7)
Andy Yerzy, C
Jake Rogers, C
Tyson Miller, RHP
Brennan Hanifee, RHP
Jace Vines, RHP
Stephen Alemais, SS
Hudson Potts, SS
Poor value on most of these guys. They were all overdrafted in real life by 2-3 rounds, except for perhaps Miller. In here, Rogers won't be a fantasy relevant player, same with Alemais. The pitchers are decent but not too interesting in any regard. Potts is best here, but even he was just average value.

15. Arizona Diamondbacks (9)
Darick Hall, 1B
T.J. Collett, C
Bobby Dalbec, 3B
Jared Poche, LHP
Dion Henderson, LHP
Nick Banks, OF
Zack Brown, RHP
Austin Bergner, RHP
Ian Hamilton, RHP
My favorites here are Banks and Collett, who were great pickups at their spots. More sour on Hamilton, Poche, and Hall, who are older college players with very limited upside - middle relievers and organizational filler. Brown and Bergner are interesting adds for the future and I'd like to see Bergner again after college; he was once thought of as a T5 guy in this class. Dalbec is very risky but the payoff as a bat could be big - if he pitches (which I prefer him as), it's more of a #4/5 starter profile

14. Colorado Rockies (7)
Nick Solak, 2B
Joey Rose, 3B
Cooper Johnson, C
Will Benson, OF
Dane Dunning, RHP
A.J. Puckett, RHP
Zack Hess, RHP
The Rockies took Benson early than I would've liked to, but he offers huge upside so it may have been warranted. Dunning is next best here as an arm who likely fits better in pen but has mid-rotation upside if he sticks. Puckett is more of a #4 profile. Solak has nearly average tools across the board and reminds me of Refsnyder a bit. Solid choice in Rose.

13. Texas Rangers (9)
Cole Irvin, LHP
Blake Rutherford, OF
Bryan Reynolds, OF
Hunter Bishop, OF
Joshua Palacios, OF
Tyler Neslony, OF
Zach Jackson, RHP
Will Ethridge, RHP
Mark Ecker, RHP
Rutherford and Reynolds are the true stars here, and each bring considerable upside as powerful outfielders with even a little speed. Wasn't a big fan of any other pick though. Ethridge and Bishop offer some interesting tools but are very far away. Irvin is just ok.

12. San Francisco Giants (8)
Will Craig, 1B
Logan Ice, C
Ryan Rolison, LHP
Thomas Burrows, LHP
Aaron Civale, RHP
Nick Nelson, RHP
Jimmy Lambert, RHP
Daulton Jefferies, RHP
The top three guys in this class outweigh the numerous negatives of the rest of them. Craig looks like a formidable offensive threat but is almost definitely moving to 1B. I prefer him to Dom Smith on the Mets. Jefferies was a favorite of mine who fell even though he shouldn't have. The arm injury scares a touch, but he has three above average pitches and command of them when he's healthy. Ice looks like a ability-based contact catcher sort of in the Chris Iannetta mold. Besides Rolison, the rest of them are #5 starters or swingman fodder.

11. Toronto Blue Jays (6)
Josh Lowe, 3B
Ulysses Cantu, 1B
Jesus Luzardo, LHP
Jon Duplantier, RHP
Kenyon Yovan, RHP
Tai Tiedemann, RHP
I really liked Lowe coming out of the draft even if he's had a rocky start to his pro career. Lowe offers average or better tools in nearly every category. Cantu looked more appealing as a 3B, but he's going to hit all the way up the ladder; almost reminds me of modern-day Carlos Santana. Luzardo, if not for the TJ surgery, would've been taken much higher. Duplantier looks more like a set-up profile to me.

10. Seattle Mariners (3)
Mickey Moniak, OF
Shane Bieber, RHP
Jeremy Walker, RHP
I almost listed Houston here but decided the batting prospect is almost always the way to go when dealing with similar prospect value. I believe Moniak is going to be a very solid long-term option in CF for a team. The player I keep going back to is Angel Pagan, who I see as a realistic comparison for Moniak and his fantasy appeal throughout his career.

9. Houston Astros (4)
Jason Groome, LHP
Riley Pint, RHP
Cole Duensing, RHP
Tres Barrera, 3B
Groome is of course the star here and was once valued as the number one overall pick (where he was acquired). Only time will tell if that was a good move or if he fell for reasons other than signability in the real draft. Pint is another high-upside arm who could collapse in A ball or be a star. Duensing is a nice sleeper.

8. Chicago Cubs (17)
Nick Quintana, 2B
Kole Enright, 3B
Boomer White, 3B
Braxton Garrett, LHP
Scott Moss, LHP
Matt Crohan, LHP
Kyle Young, LHP
Hosea Nelson, OF
Garrett Brown, OF
Zack Burdi, RHP
Mason Thompson, RHP
Nolan Martinez, RHP
Easton McGee, RHP
Chad Hockin, RHP
Ryan Hendrix, RHP
Noah Murdock, RHP
Ryan Mosely, RHP
There are definitely some solid picks in here, but there are also a few that I feel were completely wasted (Nenslon, Brown, Hendrix). Starting at the top, Garrett is a fine pick but not as good as the prep southpaws of last year like Allard. Burdi was snagged late but I still feel taking any reliever is a risk given the failures of so many top-shelf RP of the past like Corey Knebel, Bruce Rondon, etc. Other nice selections are the trio of HS righties in Thompson, Martinez, McGee. Murdock is a good sleeper to see in Virginia. Moss and Quintana are fair choices as well for their price.

7. Detroit Tigers (9)
Peter Alonso, 1B
Mario Feliciano, C
Akil Baddoo, OF
Justin Dunn, RHP
Cal Quantrill, RHP
Austin Franklin, RHP
J.D. Busfield, RHP
Gavin Lux, SS
Garrett Hampson, SS
Quantrill and Dunn could frontline a dangerous rotation one day. They're good picks with a chance to potentially be #2 starters. I have my doubts about Alonso but he has legitimate power. Baddoo, Feliciano, and Franklin are years away but are solid picks in their own right, especially Franklin, who could rise up boards quickly. Lux is relatively polished for a prep SS but doesn't offer as much in terms of fantasy performance. Good draft with a lot of solid choices.

6. Cincinnati Reds (6)
Kyle Lewis, OF
Alex Kirilloff, OF
Cody Sedlock, RHP
Alex Speas, RHP
Max Kranick, RHP
Luis Curbelo, SS
A smaller draft compared to those ranked around it, the Reds hit on nearly everyone they picked. Lewis could be a fantasy star and was arguably the best hit+power combo available. Kirilloff might take some time, but he showcased a nice feel to hit early on as well. Sedlock lacks a high ceiling but his floor is major league player. Speas is almost the exact opposite - he needs to harness his electric stuff to see his potential rise. Kranick and Curbelo are decent choices later on.
