Theory: In the draft Dipoto was trying to create tremendous depth behind his pitching- knowing he needs to hold on to his position player prospects- because, say, Logan Gilbert had become valuable enough to trade to fill a current void. The guys Dipoto drafted are probably closer to MLB than Gilber...

* M's draft #2013 - Seven (7) MLBers drafted, none play for M's. 3 of top 6 picks out of baseball. The top pick will be soon. Horrible draft JR 1 2013 12 Peterson, D.J. 3B - .190 / .270 / .373 / .643 with AAA Charlotte (White Sox) in 2019 JR 2 2013 49 Wilson, Austin RF released by the M's, signed b...
