Yes. But not just the 2014 draft...
In previous years we'd have a few hundred real players in the current year's MLB draft pool.
For the first time this year the 2014, 2015 and 2016 drafts in the MLB roster set will all be completely filled with real players. Credit for that goes to Matt Garrioch, who some of you prospect nuts may know from from minorleagueball.com. He's taken over the work on the draft classes and done a fantastic job.
The players in the drafts are still a bit of a wip, the ratings etc. will continue to be adjusted over time. But this is an incredible new feature and Matt deserves a TON of credit for all the work he's done getting the real draft prospects into the game.
