Keith Law’s Ratings

Keith Law rated the picks from yesterday’s draft and gave the Yankees an honorable mention for “best pick” although he does state that the reason the Yanks were able to grab Cole was because of signability issues (he’s represented by Scott Boras, he’s a high school player, etc.). Law goes on to give the Mariners the “worst pick” award and I would have to agree. I saw Law’s reaction yesterday during the draft and he looked absolutely perplexed by Seattle’s choice in picking a reliever. The Mariners are low on quality bats and starting pitching yet they went with a BP guy. That’s tough for Seattle fans, especially with their 2008 season.
