In this space you will find International draft resources. I have included the top thirty International Players according to Jesse Sanchez at MLB.com along with Ben Badler's top 50 from Baseball America and a few other players that didn't quite fit in to either list, and finally a couple of names you might be hearing out there that aren't eligible for our draft because they are signed to an MLB team when our draft starts.
MLB rankings will be used for default picks
