I should read the whole post more thoroughly before commenting…I laughed when reading your definition of A+, because Detroit just does’nt get those very often :) So Detroit’s batting average will be super low as compared to rest of the league.

Yeah, and Fleishmann (sp), Howard, etc.. I was trying to narrow it to A+ picks that are still with the team. Quincey is a special case because he was lost to waivers and then re-acquired, so there isn’t a direct line from draft to current lineup.

Quincey, Kindl, Ericsson, Smith, Nyquist, Emmerton, Mursak…off the top of my head.

they don’t though. over the same period: Kronwall (2000), Hudler, Filppula (2002), Franzen (2004), Abdelkader, Helm (2005). That’s 78 picks (I counted quickly; could be off +- 1 or 2). 6 out of 78 is 7.6%
