Prospect Ranking Prep - The Draft

I write two big sets of articles around here every year: Prospect Rankings and Draft Previews. This time of year is when I look back at where I was wrong on each. The draft is the tougher one to do this with, as there is so little data available, so unless the guy I liked immediately turns into Mike Trout in full season Low-A, there isn't much to go on. So I look back at all my previous years there too. Each year I do a shadow draft for the Phillies inspired by John Sickels' shadow Twins draft (I also do one for the Eagles and have since the mid-90's but that's a different article for a site about how to draft awfully with an odd focus on the Tight End position).
