With the MLB offseason in full swing, I’m excited to share the first draft of my first-year player draft rankings! Well, not exactly the first draft, I’ve spent a significant amount of time reviewing, adjusting, reverting back, and wondering what I was thinking yesterday to get to this point. The reality is this is how I would draft the top 50 picks at this moment, and I haven’t made any significant changes after sleeping on it a few times, so I think it’s a great time to get out there to share the list with you. Hope you enjoy it!

I'd have Vaughn 8th at 1B. I was slightly lower on him than the staff consensus in the OF (me 29, overall 23), so it might have been a close…

Operating under the assumption that Andrew Vaughn loses OF eligibility this season. Where would you slot him in this list?

Nice catch Babbo! The rankers for the prospect list and the dynasty list have some overlap of Gurus, but are different in size and names. Also good to point out…

Interesting that Carson Williams is #25 here to Mauricio's #28, while Ronny was #48 on the overall list and Williams didn't make the cut.
