Baton Rouge, LA (GUGUGOOHG) - It is challenging to assess a draft class years after the draft. At Get Up Get Up Get Outta Here Gone, we have decided to create a formula for successful classes. It could be better, as it does not consider each player's star power or a specific organization's promotion philosophies. The Index awards points for the number of players still playing, with more points for major leaguers and a bonus for what round that player was drafted in. The season 47 draft currently ranks as the best ever, with an average index of 34.19 and a crazy 83.39 for the Rays, who yielded eight major leaguers. As this practice was started in Season 44, we will be tabulating the top ten drafts all-time based on the index as we advance. This is listed below.
