WAR, what is it good for?
#29
If you believe the analysis, Hendry isn't the only GM with an issue. Pitchers represent a near majority of the first round picks in the last decade, do you believe that most GMs have their head up their ass? (Pitchers represent anywhere from 9 to 20 of the first 30 picks in each of the last decades drafts.)

Have a hard time taking the analysis and making useful for predictive purposes.

My understanding is that in the draft, pitchers were preferred as they are seen as being able to get into MLB quicker than position players. Since they have the quickest path to the MLB, their returns are the fastest.

To be more useful, the author include the financial layout for the drafting of the players and then the amount of time spent in the minors before the player made it into the majors.
