2009 Median Draft Position (MDP) Report (Updated 4/1/09)

[Fighting Platypi]

Thanks for doing this, will look forward to the updates.

Longoria - I guess most leagues drafting now are Dynasty, and people are going young. Most league start-ups being posted on the ESPN messageboard are large Dynasty's anyway. Longo went 10th overall in the Dynasty league i am urrently drafting in..

Obviously, not even close. Longoria gets crushed in every category. A better comparison would be Chipper Jones with a bit more power, or Eric Hinske with a little less speed. As you can tell, it could go either way, though it obviously leans toward Chipper because Longoria was a much better prospect than Hinske was (then again, see: Young, Delmon).

Hinske

Obviously no man crush here

Don't believe the hype. Longoria's rookie season wasn't as good as Hinske's. Not saying that they'll follow similar career paths, just that you gotta set yourself up for failure. I love Longoria but Chris Davis is my man crush at this point.

[The Artful Dodger]

I can't believe Ervin Santana isn't even top 100.

Ervin is ranked 110 with an MDP of 110.04.

This rankings will pan themselves out after signings land, and more drafts are participated in from February-March.

I'm a little late to the party, but I was just thinking about the MDP the other day and was really hoping you might put it together again.

Definitely a good resource, keep up the good work.

matsuzaka as a 6th rounder is way too early

Dice-K is actually a mid 7th rounder according to MDP. Still too early IMO.

Thanks Jake. Getting an earlier start this year so I'm sure we'll see major changes along the way.
