Draft Thoughts

I'm not qualified to analyze the Diamondbacks draft over the past few days, simply because I don't follow amateur baseball that closely at all.  However, there are a few places that can do a better job grading the draft than I can, so I have linked them below.

How does this relate to South Bend?  Well obviously, with 50 new players drafted into the organization (not all will sign), we are talking about many future Silver Hawks.  Some may appear this season, while others will be here over the next couple of years.

Anyhow, here's a few links for you if you want to read about the draft:

-The list of players the Diamondbacks drafted with some scouting reports can be found here.

-Here's a column by Jonathan Mayo of MLB.com that says the Diamondbacks had the best draft.

-Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic has been blogging non-stop about the draft.  Read his work here.

-Another MLB column about the Diamondbacks sticking to their draft strategy.

-Finally, you can't call it draft coverage unless you check in with Baseball America.  Multiple links on their site will evaluate the draft and all the picks.  Some areas are pay, but you can get a lot of good info for free.
