Who are they?

This has been a fun ride, I can only imagine how tough this has been to play through. Some of those trades are quite insane!

Good luck.
Thanks! This has definitely been challenging, and some of these trades have been quite insane. I should have started a new thread - "Worst to First: The AI Strikes Back"

Here is a look at the seven players we've protected so far:
2063: Jyotirbhaga Sourabh - traded and went 3-7 with a 5.44 ERA this year (-0.2 WAR)
2064: Russell Fraser - .305, 21 HR, 56 RBI, 4.0 WAR, but has trouble staying healthy
2065: Melvin Page - 4-5, 4.32 ERA, 0.2 WAR out of pen at 22
2066: Duane Smith - 4-7, 5.38 ERA, -1.2 WAR at age of 26 and was non-tendered
2067: Ben Morgan - .253, 11 HR, 40 RBI, 0.7 WAR as 22 year old
2068: Keith Hudson - on track, but ETA is likely 2070 or 2071
2069: Zach Davis - the jury is out, but his ETA is likely 2072 or 2073

Looking at the list like that doesn't encourage me too much. We've developed one productive player so far, and he's injury prone.

It could just be a skewed perspective, but I do feel pretty good about our last three first rounders, and better than I have in the past outside of Frasier. I feel like they could form a solid core four if things go right.
