Mildly interesting draft statistics (through 12 rounds)

From the rosters at the end of last season:

Who had the best set of players that weren't kept?
-Just the Koufax has had all but 2 of his players drafted, only Miguel Montero and Brett Gardner are left.
-Lunatic Fringe has 4 remaining undrafted players, Triple B's has 5. Talk about depth!

Who had the worst set of players that weren't kept?
-Baseball Junkies unfortunately inherited the worst team in the league, formally Pervin the Dish, who still has 15 unkept players undrafted. That means only 5 former Pervies were drafted thusfar.
-Other notables: Sleeve of Wizard (formally Denver Nuggets) has 14, Killer B's & Austin Pucketteers (formally Chicago Serbs) have 13, and Bobby Ayala has 12 (7 are SP.)

The most abundant position left of unkept players is RP, with 45. There are 29 SP left, and 25 OF.

There are 19 remaining unkept players that qualify at MI, and only 15 at CI.

There are 13 remaining unkept C

The highest draft pick from 2008 that wasn't kept? JJ Putz was taken #8 overall by Triple B's in 2008. Erik Bedard went #10 to Nuke Laloosh, and Aaron Harang went #14 to Serbs.

The best draft value of 2008? Ryan Doumit was the latest player drafted that ended up being kept, at 19.12 (#300 overall) by Rusty Trombones. Unfortunately he dropped Doumit before the season began and Bobby Ayala picked him up. Justin Duchsherer at 20.08 (#312 overall) by Denver Nuggets was arguably a better value. One could also make the case for Gavin Floyd at 17.15 (#271) by Buckner.

Free agent pick-ups that ended up being kept:
Ryan Doumit, March 08, Bobby Ayala
Ryan Dempster, March, Pervin
Ricky Nolasco, April, Buckner
