Today was the second day of the 2018 MLB Draft. Picks today covered rounds 3 to 10. The Phillies did not have a second or third round pick, so they went from pick 3 until pick 107 waiting for things to happen. I wrote about much of my own thoughts on the Phillies picks here, but I wanted to take this time to see what how the Phillies picks related to what the internet had to say and rank coming in.
BA ranks to 500, ESPN to 100, FG to ~130+, MLB to 200
Round 4 – Pick 107 – RHP Colton Eastman, Cal St Fullerton
Ranks: BA – 75 | ESPN – 67 | FG – 88 | MLB – 98
