Episode Details

A new analysis reveals the St. Louis Cardinals lead in MLB draft and development success, projected to get 371 total wins above replacement from their prospects. The Cardinals strategy of drafting later and spending less on signing bonuses yields high returns, while struggling teams like Pittsburgh and Cincinnati underperform despite higher investments. Looking ahead, the Cardinals projections drop, but recent trades and underspent slot money could boost their performance. Milwaukee and Pittsburgh lead short-term rivals, while the Cubs and Reds lag. The Giants decision to fire their development crew may have been premature, as newer drafts project well.
