The MLB Draft happened this week, so without time for a massive mailbag you all answered the call for a few good questions.
@Lead_FarmerSD: Is Bohm the safest first round pick the Phillies have made since Nola?
The answer is yes and it isn’t particularly close, but that is boring, so I decided to rank the safeness of Phillies 1st round picks back to 2000 when the Phillies took Chase Utley. These are at the time of the draft, and I am going safe as safest to be an everyday major leaguer.
- Aaron Nola (#7 – 2014 – Col)
- Alec Bohm (#3 – 2018 – Col)
- Mickey Moniak (#1 – 2016 – HS)
- Gavin Floyd (#4 – 2001 – HS)
- Adam Haseley (#8 – 2017 – Col)
- Chase Utley (#15 – 2000 – Col)
- Cole Hamels (#17 – 2002 – HS)
