I've been thinking about the MLB draft a LOT lately. There's a bunch of good analysis out there, so I thought I'd try to collect it in one place. See the comments.

Additionally, II could use some information that I can't find. If you can help, awesome. What I'd like is the number of college hitters, college pitchers, high school hitters, and high school pitchers taken within draft pick ranges (like 1-5, 6-10, etc.) over at least a ten year period. Exact pick by pick would be great, too.

I just wish they had an "all teams" option so I could

download entire drafts, rather than compiling them manually.

This.

I have the first 30 picks for all teams in a spreadsheet. Maybe we could share the effort? Anyone?

I have 2005 in its entirety.

Not sure we have a similar purpose, but mine requires WAR-to-date. Let’s pick years and go from there.

Sounds like you want all picks from one year at a time...

while I want all pick#‘s for all years. So it makes more sense for you to go a year at a time, while I want to go a pick at a time. The top 100 of every year is my goal, and then maybe I’ll do every fifth, tenth, or 25th up to 1000th or so.
