MLB Draft 2016: Bless You Boys grades every 1st round pick

People seem to be very hesitant to grade the MLB draft because of the small sample sizes and very young players that are taken. Well, we here at BYB don't shy away from tough challenges. Check our draft grades below:

1) Philies: Mickey Moniak, OF, La Cost Canyon HS

Grade: A

Great pick, I mean his name is MICKEY. Nuff said.

2) Reds: Nick Senzel, 3B, Tennesee

Grade: A

Great pick, gotta take those 3 baggers from Knoxville. Did you know there is a bar in Nashville called Thi3rd Base Sports Bar? Thats right, they just throw a 3 right in the middle there. This was destiny.

3) Braves: Ian Anderson, RHP, Shenendehowa HS

Grade: A

For their sake I hope this was a great pick. Shenendehowa is now my favorite high school ever.

4) Rockies: Riley Pint, RHP, St. Thomas Aquinas HS

Grade: A

Riley Pint eh? Worse pick so far. Still a great pick.

5) Brewers: Corey Ray, OF, Louisville

Grade: A

Great pick, and the Tampa Bay Rays are DEVESTATED. I was in Louisville last weekend. It was completely fine.

6) Ahletics: A.J. Puk, LHP, Florida

Grade: A

A.J. Puk just sounds like three consecutive letters. Great pick.

7) Marlins: Braxton Garret, LHP, Florence HS

Grade: A

I have also been to Florence Alabama. Think Florence Italy but the exact opposite. Great pick

8) Padres: Cal Quantrill, RHP, Stanford

Grade: A

More like Cal QuanTRILL, am I right my southern rap friends?? Gangsta pick.

9) Tigers: Matt Manning, RHP, Sheldon HS

Grade: A+

Tigers took him, best pick.

10) White Sox: Zack Collins, C, Miami

Grade: A-

Zach Collins, real original. Terrible pick.

11) Mariners: Kyle Lewis, OF, Mercer

Grade: A

His coach basically took credit for this pick by "putting him in the right spot to succeed." The coach would have been a bad pick, Kyle is a great pick.

12) Red Sox: Jason Groome, LHP, Barnegat HS

Grade: A

Dave Dombrowski drafting, great pick.

13) Rays: Josh Lowe, 3B, Pope HS

Grade: A

Pope HS! The power of Christ compels this pick.

Not so sure about Will. He attended multiple schools in high school? Seems like a try hard. Still a great pick.

15) Twins: Alex Kirilloff, OF/1B, Plum HS

Grade: A

Alex is going to Kirilloff some pitching in his future. Begrudgingly great pick.

16) Angels: Matt Thaiss, C, Virginia

Kind of tough to make fun of a name when you don't know how to pronounce it. It's that kind of ambiguity that makes him a great pick.

Grade: A

Couldn't be closer to Forrest Whitaker. Great pick.
