Good arms, now in the 2nd the DBacks got RHP Anthony Meo who many projected to go in the first round.

Call me fanatical, but to spell Roger Clemens name wrong is inexcusable (see the Pirates grade/write up).

I agree with a majority of their grades, although I'm not as hot on Boston's draft as they are. I also think Tampa deserves an A for their draft SOLELY for the picks of Guerrieri, Mahtook and Garvin. Also, they picked some real long term gems with the other first round picks. A lot of these picks are grit and guts guys who fill out their lineup and rotation for the future.
