¿ So who's the #1 pick in the 2024 MLB Draft ? The BEST starting pitcher available ? A future closer ? Trade for even more spots ? A super slugger ? A big surprise ??? It's our pick.

●--> KEEP GOING, you're getting closer. ●--> history, oh yeah history but what ...... uh, I forgot. Wait, oh yeah it's in the BROWNS history.AND speaking of lotteries and the 2% long shots ..... Entering the lottery with the ninth-best odds at 2.0% for the first overall pick in the 2024 MLB Draft, the Guardians emerged victorious on Tuesday at the Winter Meetings in Nashville.The Cincinnati Reds also jumped up from the 13th-best odds for the top pick (0.9%) to No. 2 overall, a nice reward after finishing this year with a winning record, but out of the playoffs. The next four picks landed with the Colorado Rockies, Oakland Athletics, Chicago White Sox and Kansas City Royals, the four teams that entered the lottery with the best odds....... Keep on TRUCKIN' baby ! Almost there, I promise. ●-->Yes ! .... Where the top 6 picks went in the 2024 MLB Draft lottery
Here you can see where each team would have previously selected in the 2024 MLB Draft and which teams ended up getting the top six picks, with their odds at the top pick in parenthesis.
1. Oakland Athletics (18.3%) → Guardians ★
2. Kansas City Royals (18.3%) → Reds
3. Colorado Rockies (18.3%) → Rockies
4. Chicago White Sox (14.7%) → Athletics
5. St. Louis Cardinals (8.3%) → White Sox ●
6. Los Angeles Angels (6.1%) → Royals ●The Washington Nationals would have had the fifth-best odds for the first pick, but their winning of the No. 2 pick last year and their status as a revenue-sharing payor made them ineligible to win a pick this year and guaranteed they would pick no earlier than 10th.The biggest loser of the 2024 MLB Draft lottery: the A's
At first glance, the A's appeared to do ... fine. It hurts to lose 112 games in 2023 and then end up with the No. 4 overall pick, but teams have overcome larger obstacles. That wasn't the bad news, however.
Because MLB really, really wanted to discourage tanking in the vein of what the A's are doing now, strip-mining their MLB team for years for prospects and, more importantly, salary reduction, the league added a few rules to the lottery. Not only can revenue-sharing payors like the Nationals not win top 6 picks in back-to-back drafts, no team at all can win picks in three drafts in a row.
So because the A's "won" a pick here and the No. 6 pick last year (when they were again tied for the best odds at the top pick), they are now ineligible for any pick higher than No. 10 last year. It actually would have benefited them to completely lose the lottery, which would have landed them at No. 7, because they would have been eligible for the next lottery, where they would have likely had good odds again.
Under the previous system, the A's would have had the No. 2 pick in 2023, the No. 1 pick in 2024 and, most likely, a top 3 pick in 2025. Instead, their respective picks will be No. 6 (which turned into shortstop Jacob Wilson), No. 4 and No. 10. Given that the league made these rules exactly for teams like the A's, not many tears are going to be shed around the league.
Why the Mets, Padres and Yankees fell more than anyone
The A's fell into a nightmare scenario in Nashville, but the actual biggest fallers were the New York Mets, San Diego Padres and New York Yankees, not coincidentally the teams with the three biggest payrolls last season.
The Mets held the seventh-best odds in the lottery, the Padres 14th and the Yankees 15th, but the twist was they needed to win a top 6 pick in the lottery to avoid having their picks moved back 10 slots because they exceeded a certain luxury tax threshold. And since none of them had a ping-pong ball fall in their favor, they will now pick 19th (Mets), 24th (Padres) and 25th (Yankees).

Hopefully a good middle-of-the-order bat with power ends up in the Guardians stocking.

Oh yes, their pitching has carried this team through decades of Cy Young caliber pitchers and great trade bait when they are NEAR empty.
But In 2024 .... a can't miss 5 tool slugger ...... hmmmm ? But still a can't miss pitcher -or- a loaded trade ?
Nice problems to have.
LET'S GO TRIBE !

You can’t win if you don’t score
The pitching has been great for years and they haven’t won the World Series.
The Rangers were in the top 3 in OPS,Slug, runs, RBI, Avg. They were 18th in ERA.Hitting wins more then pitching does

That was a different era. Starters back then were dominant. They are not even close to that now
It’s all about offense now and to some extent relief pitching.
A dominant starting pitcher, nowadays, is almost extinct. Drafting one first overall would be a mistake. IMO -

A dominant starting pitcher, nowadays, is almost extinct. Drafting one first overall would be a mistake. IMODo you really want to compare offense now to offense in the mid 90s - early 2000s?
I mean, feel free to, but you are going to lose that debate badly.
But from what I've seen, as of now, it seems more likely that the Gs would take a hitter from what is available in the upcoming draft. Of course, things can change during the coming college season, but it seems like a hitter heavy top of the draft.

The 90s INDIANS we as scary or more scary than the '29 Yanks -but- they did not have a true #1 starter. And repeatidly could not win game 1, a tough assignment in playoff baseball.
The recent INDIANS were just snakebit.

And we're actually talkin' baseball in December not just February or March of next year .....
...... is that cool or what ! Well virtually stealing the #1 pick in the MLB Draft will do that.
I'm still in shock after seeing that tiny Christmas ornament with the tiny 2% on it, oh yeah. ?

The pre drawing Cincinnati Reds. 0.9% almost pulled off a pretty big miracle, in fact at Pick #2 did OK.
But they didn't win the OH-IO. poll.
