We previously looked at players who were picked seventh in the June draft, and concluded as follows: “Roughly, one quarter won’t reach the majors; another quarter will be replacement level or worse; a third quarter will have between 0-10 bWAR. There’s only about a 20% chance, your selected player will be worth more than ten bWAR.” But what are the odds of finding a diamond(back) in the rough, at the other picks Arizona has in the top 100? Unsurprisingly, pickings over the past decades have been thinner. But there have still been some good players to come out of those slots.
