I'd make this into a fanpost, but I don't have the desire to go through and pick out the projections that intrigue me (like last season).

So have at it...

5. San Francisco Giants
I think this is three years in a row I've put San Francisco in the top five, although the past two years' rankings were just based on the top five rounds, and in 2006 they didn't do too badly with that Lincecum kid. The Giants grabbed four guys from my top 100, including No. 8 Zack Wheeler and the underrated Tommy Joseph, a power-hitting catcher from Scottsdale who has the arm to catch but needs help on the rest of his receiving game. They also spent to get Matt Graham -- a Texas prep righty with a good two-pitch combo -- away from a scholarship to North Carolina. One pick that stood out in the wrong way for me was Chris Dominguez, a big, strong third baseman from Louisville who hits with metal but who is going to swing and miss far too often with wood.

"His [Brandon Workman, University of Texas (Austin) RHP] arm action starts out long in the back, but he pronates his elbow early and is shorter around his body. He gets great life on the fastball from a three-quarter slot, so unlike a lot of lower-slot pitchers, he shouldn't have a big platoon issue."

Keith Law talking about pronation on ESPN? Interesting...

New Resources From Cot's Baseball Contracts

I linked to the 2009-2013 MLB payrolls resource.

Payroll by Percentage and Spending by Positiion are also pretty cool.
