30. Danny Bautista, Det - Greg
Kraig's Kommentary:
From strictly a "keeper" point of view, the best players were
Justin Thompson and Jeff D'Amico. None of the minor leaguers selected
are of significant stature though Sadler might develop. The fact
that this draft came so early on in the season is a big reason why the
draft had few standouts and was largely "filler" material.

27. Rich Amaral, Sea - Denny
28. Darryl Strawberry, NY - Jason
29. Miguel Tejada, Oak - Dwayne
30. Jorge Posada, NY - Greg
Kraig's Kommentary:
This second draft featured lots of good fillers but again, not many
keeper type players. There were a few very nice picks however. Some
of the best players taken were James Baldwin, Tony Batista, Jose Rosado,
Miguel Tejada, Mike Cameron, Glendon Rusch, Jeff Abbott, and Bubba Trammell.
With 6 picks, Greg made the most of them by picking up two major
league keepers and two rookie keepers. I also had a strong draft
getting one major league keeper and two rookie keepers with my 4 picks.
Also, for only having ONLY the 29th pick in this draft, Dwayne did
pretty good to come away with Tejada.

27. Jamie Bluma, KC - Dwayne
28. Matt Stairs, Oak - Cohen
29. Dave Valle, Tex - Greg
30. Johnathon Johnson, Tex - Jason
Kraig's Kommentary:
This third and final draft featured some solid prospect selections by
almost everyone.There weren't many true keeper quality major
leaguers taken, though Burnitz and Willie Adams are certainly protectable.The
strength of the draft was the rookie prospects of which I count at least
7 to 8 of protectable quality.In total I think the best quality
players were available in the second supplemental draft. There weren't
as many protectable major league supplemental players chosen in the three
drafts as I thought there would be, but there was a good handful of solid
major league players.As an observation I'd have to say that
Greg and myself made the most use of the supplemental drafts.Aside
from whatever help was drafted exclusively for 1996, I count 3 major
league keepers and 4 rookie keepers amongst my picks, and 2 major league
keepers and 2 rookie keepers amongst Greg's picks.My early
season failures netted me James Baldwin and Justin Thompson and those two
could be the key to a turnaround in 97.
