2006 Minor League Drafts

Baseball America - 2005 Draft

For NL leagues, Ryan Zimmerman is a must-follow. The Nats drafted him #4, signed him and sent him to AA with the intentions of playing him in the Arizona Fall league.

He should be a top pick in minor league drafts everywhere.

Justin Upton and Stephen Drew will also be visible draft picks. "Visible" means no team, no matter how little attention it pays to the minor leagues, will forget about these two.

The order of the two is yet to be determined. The hype around Upton is so good that I sense he could arrive at the same time as Drew despite the difference in age and experience.
