Abstract
This study examined the drafting practices of teams in the American League East Division and the business implications that correspond to these results. Each team has their own drafting strategy and by analyzing this you will gain a better understanding as to why certain decisions are made. The research explored the relationship between teams in the American League East with regards to when and how to draft players. To answer this question an analysis of each of these five team’s draft picks from 1998-2007 was completed by comparing each draftee by point of entry and round drafted in. The results show a clear correlation for each team in regards to the round a type of player was drafted and the position they play. Finally, after analyzing all of the data insights into preferential business practices of the teams are explored.
