While the Major League Baseball season is in full swing, all 30 teams are also focusing on the future this week with the 2016 MLB draft starting Thursday in Secaucus, New Jersey.
The Philadelphia Phillies, who are falling back to earth after a strong start this season, own the first pick. This is the second draft for general manager Matt Klentak, who is doing all he can to expedite the franchise's rebuilding efforts with strong draft classes and shrewd trades to add high-impact young talent.
This year's crop of players is not deep, as there are no obvious star talents, but there are always some names who rise to the forefront and make themselves into something greater than their initial scouting reports would suggest.
