Amateur Draft: 1st Round of the 2009 June Draft - Baseball-Reference.com

Just loaded in the 2009 draft results. As the season goes on we'll be linking these players to their minor league stats, so you can quickly and easily track what your team's 2009 draftees are doing in the minors.

Amateur Draft: 3rd Round of the 2005 June Draft - Baseball-Reference.com.

It's a little late given the draft is tomorrow, but we've managed to get the 2005-2008 draftees linked to their minor league stats.  Previously only the major leaguers were linked to their stats.  This will make things a whole lot more useful as you can now see what a player was able to do even if he didn't make the majors.

Next on the list for the draft is.

1) Enter the 2009 draft.

2) Link pre-2005 seasons to minor league stats

3) Add a column for highest level reached in the draft output.

4) add draft info to the minor league pages.

2009 MLB Draft Preview - Baseball-Reference.com

I put together a little preview of the 2009 draft. It lists the draft order and then the number of players at that slot to make the majors and then the five best players as determined by Hall of Monitor and Years of Service combined. It's a rough measurement, but the results make sense I think. We've also added a little front page module that highlights the voluminous draft info we have on the site.
