After looking at the initial draft again the other night, I figured I’d put that through the WAR ringer I’ve been using for other drafts. But I’m not going to analyze it much, just give everyone their score and top 5 players, for funsies. I’m using oWAR and WAR from 2007-2019 for this, but I did notice the oWAR I used from fangraphs can be a little wonky, so don’t be surprised if a good player might be missing here(Cale).
