BEST DRAFT
Braves. Never mind that they didnt get much out of the first 10 rounds. They more than made up for it by selecting Kevin Millwood (11), Jermaine Dye (17) and John Rocker (18) in the next 10.
WORST DRAFT
Yankees. This Yankees crop has produced just two big leaguers so farMike Jerzembeck (5), who pitched in three games, and Frank Lankford (17), who worked in 12 games (with the Dodgers).
MOST ASTUTE PICK
Scott Rolen, 3b, Phillies (2)
BIGGEST OVERSIGHT
Kevin Millwood, rhp, Braves (11)
BIGGEST FIRST-ROUND BUST
Matt Brunson, ss, Tigers (9th pick)
