MLB Draft Order Set

By Jeff Todd | February 10, 2015 at 12:28am CDT

With James Shields reportedly headed to San Diego, the last moving parts in the coming year’s amateur draft are now fixed in place. The Padres will wave goodbye to the 13th overall pick — the same slot the team used last year to take the since-promised-away Trea Turner — in order to add Shields.

The draft order was originally established at the close of the regular season, of course. But with twelve players receiving and rejecting qualifying offers, plenty of shuffling remained. This year, at least, no compensation-bound free agents will drag the uncertainty into the season.

The results of that rarefied sector of the free agent market are in. As Baseball America documents, the first-round (or, if you prefer, pre-second-round) draft order that results is as follows:

1. Diamondbacks     [Protected First-Round Picks]
2. Astros
3. Rockies
4. Rangers
5. Astros
6. Twins
7. Red Sox
8. White Sox
9. Cubs
10. Phillies
11. Reds
—
12. Marlins             [Unprotected First-Round Picks]
13. Rays
14. Braves
15. Brewers
16. Yankees
17. Indians
18. Giants
19. Pirates
20. Athletics
21. Royals
22. Tigers
23. Cardinals
24. Dodgers
25. Orioles
26. Angels
—
27. Rockies            [Compensation Picks]
28. Braves
29. Blue Jays
30. Yankees
31. Giants
32. Pirates
33. Royals
34. Tigers
35. Dodgers
36. Orioles
—
37. Astros              [Competitive Balance Round A]
38. Rockies
39. Cardinals
40. Brewers
41. Padres
42. Indians

Note that there were other picks lost in the free agent process, not reflected above, which impact the rest of the draft order. Namely, the Red Sox (second round, competitive balance Round B) and White Sox (second and third round) each gave up two picks while the Twins forfeited their second-rounder.

BA also tabulates the resulting projected total draft pool allocations, which provide important parameters for each team and also serve as a general guide to how overall drafting power is spread across the league this time around. (Precise pick-by-pick pool allocations remain to be released by the league.)

Astros – $17.98MM
Rockies – $14.55MM
D’backs – $14.18MM
Rangers – $9.47MM
Braves – $8.70MM
Yankees – $8.21MM
Reds – $8.09MM
Brewers – $8.06MM
Orioles – $7.99MM
Giants – $7.82MM
Pirates – $7.69MM
Twins – $7.69MM
Cardinals – $7.69MM
Cubs – $7.55MM
Indians – $7.53MM
Royals – $7.50MM
Tigers – $7.40MM
Phillies – $7.36MM
Dodgers – $7.24MM
Marlins – $7.04MM
Rays – $6.86MM
Red Sox – $6.48MM
Athletics – $5.67MM
Blue Jays – $5.63MM
White Sox – $5.54MM
Angels – $5.42MM
Padres – $5.39MM
Mariners – $4.36MM
Mets – $3.74MM
Nationals – $3.70MM
