2005 draft order/MLB standings

[H0FFY]

Wow, it is going to be a grand finish to secure a really high draft pick. Let us compare from the Mets to the bottem.

 

Mets are at 65 - 85

Tampa .5 games worse

Colorado .5

Milwaukee 1 game back

Montreal 1.5 gb

Toronto 2 gb

Seattle, KC, Arizona we cannot catch (or fall back to)

 

We could get as good a pick as 4th and as worst as 9th.

 

Wendy may actually pull out all stops here to win a few games. I would guess the difference between the 4 pick and the 9 pick must be half a million dollars. Wendy could give some of that half a mill to her cabana boy.

With the Brewers loss last night, the Blue Jays winning & the Expos idle, the Brewers have now jumped into the 4th draft slot. We all knew the Brewers could draft that high, but I didn't think they would reach that mark so quickly. Given how poorly the Brewers are playing right now, it's almost a shame they really can't get any higher.

With a week left...

 

1. D-Backs, .301

2. Royals, .368

3. Mariners, .387

4. Brewers, .416

5. Blue Jays, .416

6. Expos, .417

7. D-Rays, .431

8. Rockies, .432

9. Tigers, .442

10. Mets, .442

 

The Brewers hold tie-breakers over everyone except the Padres, Tigers, Mets & D-Rays, and I doubt we have to worry about those teams unless the Brewers go on a tear the final week of the season. I'd look up who these teams are playing, but when you're this bad does it really matter?

Come on #4!!!

[colbyjack]

Only one more game to go...

 

1. D-Backs

2. Royals

3. Mariners

4. Expos: 67-94, .416

5. Brewers: 67-93, .419

6. Blue Jays: 67-93, .419

7. Rockies: 68-93, .422

8. D-Rays

9. Mets

10. Pirates

 

The Expos play at the Mets today, the Blue Jays at home vs. the Yankees, the Rockies are at Houston & we play the Cardinals. We own any tie-breaker with the Blue Jays since we had the worse record last year.

 

To get to the #4 spot the Brewers have to lose & the Expos have to win. If we lose, we'll pick either 4th or 5th regardless of what the other teams do. We could draft as "low" as 7th if we win & the Blue Jays & Rockies lose.

 

Or, if you don't want to root against the Brew Crew today, root for the Blue Jays & Rockies today and be content with the #5 overall selection, the same slot we had this past year.

[Crusher123]

I think this will be the final draft order:

 

1. Diamondbacks

2. Royals

3. Mariners

4. Expos

5. Brewers

6. Blue Jays

7. Rockies

8. Devil Rays

9. Mets

10. Tigers

11. Pirates

12. Reds

13. Orioles

14. Indians

15. White Sox

16. Marlins

17. Phillies

18. Padres

19. Rangers

20. Cubs

21. Athletics

22. Giants

23. Angels

24. Twins

25. Astros

26. Dodgers

27. Braves

28. Red Sox

29. Yankees

30. Cardinals

All the teams that the Brewers had to contend with for a draft pick lost today, so the Brewers will draft 5th next June.

 

***Thanks for the entire draft order Crusher.

damn expos http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/mad.gif

 

 

stole our spot at #4.

[royals]

Good job doing this, just one problem. You have to switch leagues each pick, so this year the NL has the #1 pick, followed by AL, NL, AL, NL and so on

Royals-

 

Last year was the final year of that policy; the draft order is now a reverse order of team record, regardless of league.

 

Baseball America: 2004 Draft Mechanics

 

This year's draft will also be the last time the leagues will alternate selections. Beginning in 2005, teams will draft in reverse order of winning percentage, regardless of league.

Well then I guess im wrong (nothing new)
