Q: Brett from Buffalo, NY asks:
Thanks for answering our questions, John. Give me the top 5 teams that had the best drafts.
A: John Manuel: I like what the Tigers did, and I like the Nationals' draft a lot. They weren't active on deadline day, and their players haven't gotten off to boffo starts, but I still like how diverse the Blue Jays' draft was. I think Texas did pretty well and would probably throw the Yankees in because they spent so much money, some of those guys have to hit, though frankly their draft doesn't blow me away.
Q: Craig from V ancouver asks:
How much has the Nats farm system improved with their draft and how surprised were you to see them get McGeary?
A: John Manuel: It's going to be closer to 1 than to 30 in the next Handbook, I think. That system has had a great year, bringing in talent and having good prospects having good years, such as Marrero, Balester, etc. I was surprised not that they got McGeary but how.
