While I generally agree, I think this year is more interesting with a full year of a new regime. I'm not going to get worked up over any particular pick because of the high attrition rate of even top 5 picks, but I'm very interested in the process that goes into each pick. Are we still drafting defense and speed over everything else? What is our appetite for risk? Are we going to play it safe to try and get someone to the majors quickly or draft a bunch of high schoolers? Whatever we do, I think it sets a tone that future drafts will follow which makes this more interesting than usual.
