Re-Drafting Ronald Acuña Jr. and 2014 MLB Draft Including International Prospects
What if Major League Baseball were like the National Basketball Association and international players were part of the annual draft process rather than the current free-for-all system where players go to the highest bidder within the confines of a club's predetermined bonus pool?
That's the hypothetical scenario we set out to explore with our new redraft series.
This time around we turn our attention to 2014, which had an international class headlined by NL MVP candidate Ronald Acuña Jr., young catcher Keibert Ruiz and high-octane relievers Raisel Iglesias, Jhoan Duran and Brusdar Graterol.
They join a draft pool originally headlined by Brady Aiken (HOU), Tyler Kolek (MIA), Carlos Rodón (CWS), Kyle Schwarber (CHC) and Nick Gordon (MIN) as the top five picks.
1. Houston Astros: OF Ronald Acuña Jr.
1 of 30
Actual Pick: LHP Brady Aiken (did not sign)
Acuña's Actual Draft Position: International signing (ATL, $100,000 bonus)
The Houston Astros failed to sign actual No. 1 overall pick Brady Aiken when an elbow issue surfaced in his post-draft physical and they tried to slash his bonus offer from $6.5 million down to $5 million. He ultimately enrolled at IMG Academy and 13 pitches into his first start he left with elbow soreness and wound up undergoing Tommy John surgery.
The Astros were awarded the No. 2 overall pick the following year as compensation, which they used to select Alex Bregman, so everything worked out for the best.
In this hypothetical, they get the chance to add dynamic superstar Ronald Acuña Jr. who was a fairly under-the-radar prospect when the Atlanta Braves signed him for $100,000.
While he jumps to the top of this redraft, it's a thin international class overall, and the next international player will not be added to the draft board until the No. 16 overall pick.
2. Miami Marlins: SS Trea Turner
2 of 30
Actual Pick: RHP Tyler Kolek
Turner's Actual Draft Position: No. 13 overall (San Diego Padres)
The Miami Marlins have lacked a true impact player at shortstop since Hanley Ramírez was in the prime of his career. Defensive standouts Adeiny Hechavarria and Miguel Rojas were inconsistent at best offensively, and who could forget the José Reyes debacle?
This would give them the opportunity to change that narrative by drafting NC State shortstop Trea Turner, who quickly developed into one of the game's top power/speed threats after breaking through with the Washington Nationals.
The three-team deal that sent Turner to the Nationals and brought Wil Myers to the San Diego Padres helped change the rules for trading recently drafted players. At the time, a player had to be in his organization for one year before he was eligible to be traded, which left Turner in a strange position as a lame duck in the San Diego farm system waiting until he could officially be moved as the "player to be named" in that offseason deal.
3. Chicago White Sox: RHP Aaron Nola
3 of 30
Actual Pick: LHP Carlos Rodón
Nola's Actual Draft Position: No. 7 overall (Philadelphia Phillies)
LSU right-hander Aaron Nola finished 11-1 with a 1.47 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and 134 strikeouts in 116.1 innings during his junior season, doubling down on an equally impressive sophomore campaign to solidify his standing as one of the draft's top college arms.
He moved quickly through the minors, making his MLB debut on July 21, 2015, and he found immediate success in the big leagues with a 3.59 ERA in 77.2 innings during his rookie season.
His 30.8 WAR quietly ranks 16th among active pitchers, and that total is tops in this draft class by a wide margin ahead of Kyle Freeland (17.8), Carlos Rodón (16.7) and Brandon Woodruff (15.5).

4. Chicago Cubs: 3B Matt Chapman
4 of 30
Actual Pick: C Kyle Schwarber
Chapman's Actual Draft Position: No. 25 overall (Oakland Athletics)
Matt Chapman hit .312/.412/.498 during his junior year at Cal State Fullerton, but he never showed much over-the-fence pop during his collegiate career, tallying just 13 home runs in 702 plate appearances.
Two years later, he had a 36-homer season in the upper levels of the minors while also striking out 173 times in 135 games, and elite defense with plenty of long balls and plenty of strikeouts has been his calling card in the big leagues.
The Cubs selected Kyle Schwarber with their actual pick and moved him from catcher to left field to slot him into a loaded homegrown lineup. In this hypothetical, they would shift Kris Bryant to left field and use Chapman at the hot corner.
5. Minnesota Twins: RHP Brandon Woodruff
5 of 30
Actual Pick: SS Nick Gordon
Woodruff's Actual Draft Position: No. 326 overall (Milwaukee Brewers)
Brandon Woodruff had a 6.75 ERA with almost as many walks (25) as strikeouts (29) in 37.1 innings during his junior season at Mississippi State, but the Milwaukee Brewers saw enough potential in his stuff to take him in the 11th round.
The 6'4" right-hander went 14-9 with a 2.68 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 173 strikeouts in 158 innings between High-A and Double-A two years later to emerge as one of the team's top pitching prospects, and his rapid ascent helped the Brewers offset whiffing on Kodi Medeiros at No. 12 overall.
The Twins started the year with a five-man rotation that was all acquired via trade, so having a homegrown frontline starter would be a nice departure from their recent struggles to develop their own in-house arms.
6. Seattle Mariners: OF Kyle Schwarber
6 of 30
Actual Pick: OF Alex Jackson
Schwarber's Actual Draft Position: No. 4 overall (Chicago Cubs)
The general consensus was that Kyle Schwarber would need to move out from behind the plate at some point in pro ball after catching at the University of Indiana, but his high-ceiling bat was still enough for the Cubs to take him No. 4 overall.
He made his MLB debut in 2015 with a 113 OPS+ and 16 home runs in 69 games, and while he has not shown the ability to hit for average like he did in college, he has undoubtedly developed into one of the game's best power hitters.
The 30-year-old led the NL with 46 home runs last year in the first season of a four-year, $79 million deal with the Philadelphia Phillies, and on top of his strong regular season numbers he also has an .899 OPS with 15 home runs in 52 playoff games.
7. Philadelphia Phillies: RHP Logan Webb
7 of 30
Actual Pick: RHP Aaron Nola
Webb's Actual Draft Position: No. 118 overall (San Francisco Giants)
The Phillies struck gold with their real-life, first-round selection of Aaron Nola, and even with him off the board in this redraft, they still have the opportunity to take their pick of Dylan Cease, Carlos Rodón or Logan Webb.
The Giants selected Webb in the fourth round out of Rocklin High School in California and signed him to a $600,000 bonus, well above the $440,600 assigned slot value for the No. 118 overall pick. A PED suspension in 2019 cost him 80 games, but he still made his MLB debut later this year and by 2021 he was a staple in the rotation and a long-term building block.
He has a 2.91 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 65 strikeouts in 65 innings this season, and he would be a more than acceptable replacement for Nola, slotting in alongside Zack Wheeler atop the Philadelphia rotation.
8. Colorado Rockies: RHP Dylan Cease
8 of 30
Actual Pick: LHP Kyle Freeland
Cease's Actual Draft Position: No. 169 overall (Chicago Cubs)
The Chicago Cubs signed Kyle Schwarber to a below-slot deal at No. 4 overall and used the savings to ink sixth-rounder Dylan Cease to a massive $1.5 million bonus, roughly the slot value of the No. 38 overall pick.
The hard-throwing right-hander was viewed as a first-round talent before an elbow issue during his senior season at Milton High School in Georgia caused his stock to drop and eventually required Tommy John surgery.
After teasing swing-and-miss stuff his first few years in the majors, he finally broke out last year, going 14-8 with a 2.20 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 227 strikeouts in 184 innings to finish runner-up in NL Cy Young voting. Would he be able to find the same level of success in a Rockies uniform?
9. Toronto Blue Jays: LHP Carlos Rodón
9 of 30
Actual Pick: RHP Jeff Hoffman
Rodón's Actual Draft Position: No. 3 overall (Chicago White Sox)
NC State left-hander Carlos Rodón immediately jumped to the top of 2014 draft boards when he went 9-0 with a 1.57 ERA and 135 strikeouts in 114.2 innings as a true freshman in 2012, and after two more dominant seasons on campus he was eventually the first college player off the board at No. 3 overall.
After years of battling injury and inconsistency, the 6'2" southpaw finally put it all together in 2021, going 13-5 with a 2.37 ERA and an eye-popping 185 strikeouts in 132.2 innings. He was equally impressive last year with the San Francisco Giants playing on a two-year deal that included an opt-out, and he exercised that out and inked a six-year, $162 million deal with the New York Yankees.
Unfortunately, injuries have been an issue once again this year and he has yet to make his Yankees debut, but his legitimate frontline upside when healthy is enough for him to be a top-10 pick in this redraft.
10. New York Mets: OF Michael Conforto
10 of 30
Actual Pick: OF Michael Conforto
Conforto's Actual Draft Position: No. 10 overall (New York Mets)
Given the chance to do it all over again, would the New York Mets still select Michael Conforto with the No. 10 overall pick?
It's a coin toss here between him and fellow outfielder Alex Verdugo, and while the Boston Red Sox rising star is having the better 2023 season, Conforto has enjoyed the better career to date with a 123 OPS+ in 3,160 plate appearances, an All-Star appearance in 2017 and a 33-homer, 92-RBI showing in 2019.
The 30-year-old signed a two-year, $36 million deal with the San Francisco Giants during the offseason after missing all of 2022 recovering from shoulder surgery.
11. Toronto Blue Jays: OF Alex Verdugo
11 of 30
Actual Pick: C Max Pentecost
Actual Draft Position: No. 62 overall (Los Angeles Dodgers)
The Toronto Blue Jays held the No. 9 and No. 11 overall picks, with the No. 11 selection coming as compensation for failing to sign Phil Bickford at No. 10 overall in the previous year's draft.
There was a glaring need for a quality left-handed bat in their lineup last year, and given the early struggles of offseason pickup Daulton Varsho that need remains here during the 2023 season.
Meanwhile, the lefty swinging Alex Verdugo is hitting .283/.359/.455 for a 119 OPS+ with 21 extra-base hits and 1.7 WAR in 48 games this season with the Boston Red Sox. The 27-year-old was the prospect centerpiece of the blockbuster deal that sent Mookie Betts from the Red Sox to the Dodgers.
12. Milwaukee Brewers: 1B Rhys Hoskins
12 of 30
Actual Pick: LHP Kodi Medeiros
Hoskins' Actual Draft Position: No. 142 overall (Philadelphia Phillies)
Since Prince Fielder departed in free agency following the 2011 season, the Milwaukee Brewers have used the likes of Mat Gamel, Lyle Overbay, Adam Lind, Chris Carter, Eric Thames, Jesús Aguilar and Justin Smoak to try to slow down a revolving door at first base.
They finally appear to have found a solution in burly slugger Rowdy Tellez, but selecting Rhys Hoskins would have plugged that hole years ago.
A fifth-round pick due in part to the risk often associated with right-handed hitting first base prospects, Hoskins put himself on the top prospect map with a 38-homer, 116-RBI season at hitter-friendly Double-A Reading in 2016.
He hit 18 home runs in just 50 games as a rookie the following year and had been one of the league's more consistent power producers prior to suffering a torn ACL in March. Free agency awaits for the first time this coming winter.
13. San Diego Padres: RHP Mitch Keller
13 of 30
Actual Pick: SS Trea Turner
Keller's Actual Draft Position: No. 64 overall (Pittsburgh Pirates)
Everything is finally clicking for Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander Mitch Keller.
The 27-year-old appeared on the Baseball America Top 100 prospect list four years in a row, peaking at No. 12 in 2018, but he struggled to find his footing in the big leagues with a 6.02 ERA in 39 starts over his first three years in the majors.
He turned a corner last season with a 3.91 ERA and 138 strikeouts in a career-high 159 innings, and he has used that as a jumping off point for a breakout 2023 campaign. Through 10 starts, he has gone 5-1 with a 2.44 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 77 strikeouts in 62.2 innings, and he threw his first career complete game shutout on May 8 against the Colorado Rockies.
Other pitchers still on the board have a better career track record, but none offer his current upward trajectory.
14. San Francisco Giants: LHP Kyle Freeland
14 of 30
Actual Pick: RHP Tyler Beede
Freeland's Actual Draft Position: No. 8 overall (Colorado Rockies)
Left-hander Kyle Freeland is building a compelling case for the title of best homegrown starting pitcher in Colorado Rockies franchise history, and his 17.8 career WAR is quickly creeping up on Ubaldo Jimenez (18.9) for the top spot all-time among pitchers.
He finished seventh in NL Rookie of the Year voting in 2017 and fourth in NL Cy Young balloting the following year when he finished 17-7 with a 2.85 ERA in 202.1 innings, but that was followed by a disastrous 6.73 ERA over 22 starts in 2019.
In the four years since, he has settled in as a quality middle-of-the-rotation starter, posting a 4.35 ERA and 111 ERA+ over 424.1 innings. Worth mentioning here, he also has a 2.72 ERA in 39.2 career innings at Oracle Park.
15. Los Angeles Angels: LHP Justin Steele
15 of 30
Actual Pick: LHP Sean Newcomb
Steele's Actual Draft Position: No. 139 overall (Chicago Cubs)
The Los Angeles Angels have gone from having one of the worst starting rotations in baseball just a few years ago to assembling a solid overall staff around Shohei Ohtani here in 2023.
That said, a team can never have too much quality starting pitching, and Justin Steele is in the midst of a breakout season with the Chicago Cubs here in 2023, though one could argue he already broke out last year when he logged a 3.18 ERA and 126 strikeouts in 119 innings.
This year, he's gone 6-1 with a 2.20 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 53 strikeouts in 61.1 innings, and he's making a strong case to be a first-time All-Star. Not bad for a pitcher taken in the fifth round of the 2014 draft.
16. Arizona Diamondbacks: RHP Raisel Iglesias
16 of 30
Actual Pick: RHP Touki Toussaint
Iglesias' Actual Draft Position: International signing (CIN, seven-year, $30 million deal)
Following the success of Aroldis Chapman, the Cincinnati Reds turned to another Cuban defector to anchor their bullpen when they signed Raisel Iglesias to a seven-year, $30 million deal.
In his final season in Cuba, he posted a 3.05 ERA with 12 saves in 30 appearances. After trying to develop him as a starter for a few years, the Reds returned him to the bullpen and he went on to save 106 games in six seasons with the team before he was traded to the Los Angeles Angels.
All told, his 161 career saves rank seventh among active pitchers, and he would shore up a D-backs bullpen that has been without a shutdown ninth-inning option the last few years.
17. Kansas City Royals: LHP Jordan Montgomery
17 of 30
Actual Pick: LHP Brandon Finnegan
Montgomery's Actual Draft Position: No. 122 overall (New York Yankees)
The Yankees did not have a first-round pick in the 2014 draft after signing Jacoby Ellsbury, Brian McCann and Carlos Beltran in free agency, and they whiffed on their first two selections by taking Jacob Lindgren and Austin DeCarr who made a combined seven appearances in the majors.
However, they did find a nice steal in fourth-round pick Jordan Montgomery, and while he has never produced at a frontline level he has been a steady middle-of-the-rotation starter for several years running now.
It's worth wondering if the Kansas City Royals would still consider taking Brandon Finnegan, who made his MLB debut just a few months after he was drafted in 2014, becoming the first player ever to pitch in the College World Series and World Series in the same year. He was later used to acquire Johnny Cueto during the team's 2015 World Series title run.
18. Washington Nationals: RHP Jack Flaherty
18 of 30
Actual Pick: RHP Erick Fedde
Flaherty's Actual Draft Position: No. 34 overall (St. Louis Cardinals)
Jack Flaherty was by far the toughest player to slot in this redraft.
At his best, he's been a bona fide ace, finishing fourth in NL Cy Young voting in 2019 when he went 7-2 with a 0.91 ERA and 0.72 WHIP in 15 starts during an otherworldly second half of the season.
In the four years since, he has battled injuries and pitched just 205.2 total innings, and this year he has struggled out of the gates with a 5.29 ERA and career-high 5.8 walks per nine innings over 10 starts.
That said, he's still only 27 years old, and it's fun to imagine what plugging him into the 2019 Washington Nationals rotation would have been like when he was throwing darts down the stretch that year.
19. Cincinnati Reds: RHP Michael Kopech
19 of 30
Actual Pick: RHP Nick Howard
Kopech's Actual Draft Position: No. 33 overall (Boston Red Sox)
One of the hardest throwing pitching prospects in recent memory, Michael Kopech went from the Boston Red Sox to the Chicago White Sox as part of the blockbuster deal that sent Chris Sale the other way during the 2016 winter meetings.
He debuted in 2018, missed the 2019 and 2020 seasons recovering from Tommy John surgery, and returned in 2021 as a valuable multi-inning weapon out of the bullpen.
The 27-year-old moved into the starting rotation last year and he has shown flashes of brilliance at times, including eight innings of one-hit ball earlier this month against the Kansas City Royals.
20. Tampa Bay Rays: RHP Jhoan Duran
20 of 30
Actual Pick: 1B Casey Gillaspie
Duran's Actual Draft Position: International signing (ARI, $65,000 bonus)
The Tampa Bay Rays do an excellent job cobbling together one of the league's best bullpens every season, and adding a high-octane arm like Jhoan Duran to the mix would make shortening games even easier.
With a fastball that averages 101.7 mph and a putaway curveball, he has gone from promising starting pitching prospect during his time in the Arizona farm system to one of the most exciting young relievers in baseball since joining Minnesota in the Eduardo Escobar deal at the 2018 trade deadline.
Since making his MLB debut earlier last season, Duran has a 1.78 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 11.8 K/9 with 15 saves and 18 holds in 75 appearances. The 25-year-old could be a candidate for an early extension if he keeps it rolling.
21. Cleveland Guardians: C Keibert Ruiz
21 of 30
Actual Pick: OF Bradley Zimmer
Ruiz's Actual Draft Position: International signing (LAD, $140,000 bonus)
Since rolling with the defensive-minded platoon of Yan Gomes and Roberto Pérez for several seasons, the Cleveland Guardians have been searching for stability at the catcher position, using all-glove, no-bat Austin Hedges there last year.
This season they signed Mike Zunino to help bridge the gap to up-and-coming prospect Bo Naylor who has a ton of offensive upside but is still working to refine the defensive side of his game.
Former Los Angeles Dodgers top prospect Keibert Ruiz joined the Washington Nationals in the Max Scherzer/Trea Turner blockbuster deal, and after a solid first full season in the majors last year he signed an eight-year, $50 million extension during the offseason. Still only 24 years old, he has the potential to develop into a top-10 catcher.
22. Los Angeles Dodgers: RHP Jordan Romano
22 of 30
Actual Pick: RHP Grant Holmes
Romano's Actual Draft Position: No. 294 overall (Toronto Blue Jays)
How nice would it have been for the Los Angeles Dodgers to be able to hand the ball to Jordan Romano in the ninth inning last season while they were bouncing from closer to closer after Craig Kimbrel fell apart?
The 30-year-old converted 36 of 42 save chances with a 2.11 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 10.3 K/9 in 63 appearances last year, earning his first All-Star selection in the process, and his 69 saves since the start of the 2021 season rank fifth in the majors.
With club control through the 2025 season, the former 10th-round pick has a ton of value as a low-cost, back-of-the-bullpen option. That's something every club could use, and that includes a Dodgers team with title hopes.
23. Detroit Tigers: LHP John Means
23 of 30
Actual Pick: OF Derek Hill
Means' Actual Draft Position: No. 331 overall (Baltimore Orioles)
Left-hander John Means burst onto the scene as a 26-year-old rookie in 2019, going 12-11 with a 3.60 ERA and 1.14 WHIP in 155 innings and was the lone All-Star representative for a Baltimore Orioles team that lost 108 games.
He was the team's Opening Day starter in 2021 and 2022, but he lasted just two starts during the 2022 campaign before he was sidelined with an injury that eventually led to Tommy John surgery.
The 30-year-old is expected to rejoin a contending Orioles team at some point this season, and he's the best player on the board in this redraft for a Detroit Tigers team with holes to plug up and down the roster.
24. Pittsburgh Pirates: C Jose Trevino
24 of 30
Actual Pick: SS Cole Tucker
Trevino's Actual Draft Position: No. 186 overall (Texas Rangers)
The last time the Pittsburgh Pirates had a productive two-way catcher behind the plate was when they splurged in free agency and signed Russell Martin to a two-year deal, then promptly snapped a 20-year postseason drought.
Defensive standout Jacob Stallings was a 3.0-WAR player and Gold Glove winner in 2021, but he was traded to the Miami Marlins, and the team has turned to Roberto Pérez and Austin Hedges to try to plug the gap the past two years.
Top prospects Endy Rodriguez and Henry Davis could eventually make the position a major strength, but plugging the hole with 2022 Platinum Glove winner Jose Trevino would have been a nice stopgap in the interim.
25. Oakland Athletics: RHP Erik Swanson
25 of 30
Actual Pick: 3B Matt Chapman
Swanson's Actual Draft Position: No. 246 overall (Texas Rangers)
Right-hander Erik Swanson has already been traded three times in his pro career since he was taken in the eighth round of the 2014 draft by the Texas Rangers out of JUCO standout Iowa Western CC.
Most recently, he joined the Toronto Blue Jays in a deal that sent slugger Teoscar Hernandez to the Seattle Mariners this past offseason after a breakout 2022 season where he posted a 1.68 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 11.7 K/9 in 57 games.
The 29-year-old has been a valuable bullpen arm once again this year with a 3.52 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 11.0 K/9 in 23 games, and he has recorded 10 holds as the primary setup reliever to closer Jordan Romano.
26. Boston Red Sox: IF/OF Brian Anderson
26 of 30
Actual Pick: SS Michael Chavis
Anderson's Actual Draft Position: No. 76 overall (Miami Marlins)
Brian Anderson recorded back-to-back 3-WAR seasons in 2018 and 2019 with the Miami Marlins, showing some good power and valuable defensive versatility as he split his time between third base and right field.
After producing a lackluster 90 OPS+ and 1.8 WAR in 165 games the past two seasons, he was non-tendered by the Marlins this past November. He caught on with the Brewers on a one-year, $3.5 million deal and has rebounded with a 108 OPS+ to go along with eight home runs and 28 RBI in 48 games.
His breakthrough rookie season in 2018 lines up with Boston's last World Series title, and he could have been a key contributor in a super-utility role of sorts on that squad.
27. St. Louis Cardinals: RHP Brusdar Graterol
27 of 30
Actual Pick: RHP Luke Weaver
Graterol's Actual Draft Position: International signing (MIN, $150,000 bonus)
With a fastball that averages 98.4 mph and a wipeout slider, Brusdar Graterol has prototypical late-inning stuff, and he made his MLB debut just a few days after his 21st birthday working out of the bullpen for the Minnesota Twins.
The Twins sent him to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the Kenta Maeda trade, and he has been a staple in their bullpen the past three seasons.
Despite his elite velocity, he relies more on his ability to induce ground balls than his ability to rack up strikeouts. This season he sports a gaudy 79.2 percent groundball rate, which has helped him post a 2.18 ERA with three saves and five holds in 22 appearances.
