2021 mlb draft

Quite a few surprises, especially that the highly regarded HS shortstops fell quite a bit.

Orioles pick for example was quite surprising as he is seen more as a mid first round talent but they are probably spinning some deals again like last year to get better 2-5 rounders because the org is in such a bad state that they need several guys and not just one star.

I'm still not a huge fan of this, love that for example the red Sox took the chance at Mayer even if it means going overslot and getting less in later rounds. Superstars are more likely from earlier rounds but I also understand that teams like the Os and pirates who are in Very bad shape have different needs than a team like the red Sox who can take a swing at a Guy to get another superstars while the pirates and Orioles probably need 20 new guys for their next competitive roster and thus should take a more Quantity and floor oriented approach to get 4-5 Quality guys even if the top guy is a bit worse.
