After unveiling the top five college prospects for the 2023 MLB Draft two weeks ago, we dive into players 6-10 today. And in two more weeks, we’ll expand from these 10 to the top 20. It’s a steady, sequential process, much like a Build-A-Bear Workshop but without the annoying kids and hard-of-hearing grandparents. Call this the Build-A-FYPD Workshop, because that’s what the purpose here truly is: to help you construct your first-year player draft boards and plot your future targets in dynasty formats. In the first installment, I went over four position players and one pitcher in Tennessee’s Chase Dollander. As we lengthen the list, three more hurlers will be introduced, as well as a pair of first-round infielders. The players in the space below compose a well-rounded group, more comparable to a perfectly-constructed burrito bowl at Chipotle than a stuffed bear or a jumbo-sized Snorlax plush toy (apparently they have those now, ask Google). The more I think about this, the more I feel I should be at the mall stuffing various Pokemon full of cotton and eating Auntie Anne’s. I’ll leave you all to the reading and join you in the comments section at the end of my trip.
Please, blog, may I have some more?
