For example the Jays have a rumoured $20 million dollar budget for this draft. Other teams have no where near that amount.
Therefore AA drafted many high end / expensive players.

yup and...Euros, Japanese and other overseas players cannot be selected in this draft. They are bought, meaning rich teams like the Yanks and Red Sox usually get the best of them. In order for baseball to move into the 18th century these things need to change. A draft should be worldwide like Hockey or Football. It actually surprises me that they allow Canadians to be drafted.
