New York Yankees fans are beginning to get fed up with two players—one because of his play and the other because of, well, himself.

Phil Hughes is one of the most inconsistent pitchers in baseball. That alone makes him difficult to watch, as you never know what kind of performance he'll bring with him to the mound on any given night. When he's on, he's one of the more dominating pitchers in the American League East.

Major League Baseball's crusade against the players who are linked to Biogenesis founder Anthony Bosch is moving down to the minor leagues as a way to finally lock down those who have had any contact with the Miami-based clinic. 

Gerrit Cole made his highly anticipated MLB debut for the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday as he shut down the San Francisco Giants for 6.1 innings.

The No. 1 pick from the 2011 MLB Draft, Cole needed just about two years to go from draft pick and top prospect to a successful MLB pitcher.

Peter Bourjos just made Tuesday's game between the Baltimore Orioles and Los Angeles Angels all about him.

In just the bottom of the first inning, Bourjos saw J.J. Hardy blast a 1-1 pitch to deep center and climbed the wall to take back what would have been a two-run home run. Even teammate Mike Trout must be jealous.

The 2013 MLB draft's 40 rounds are now all in the books as every organization has been given the opportunity to stock their farm systems for years to come.

The MLB draft is always an intriguing event because of the varied approaches that teams can choose to use.

The 2013 MLB draft has come and gone, and now it's time evaluate what the best first-round picks were.

A good first-round pick will have a lot of potential but will also reach the bigs in a relatively short period of time.

Which picks fit that bill?

Read on to find out.

Mark Appel, No. 1, Houston Astros

You may not have noticed since it's not broadcast in prime time or on ESPN, but the MLB draft took place this week, replenishing baseball's minor leagues with an influx of new prospects.

For some teams, the draft is a chance to improve for improvement's sake. They don't need to develop more talent, but if given the chance, who would turn down that opportunity?

But for other teams, the draft is a do-or-die endeavor, affecting the immediate fate of a ballclub and the natty suits who run it.

Now that the 2013 MLB draft is in the books, we can finally figure out which teams made the most improvements to their organization in the long haul, and which teams failed to do so. 

While the biggest picks came off the board on Thursday, the 40-round spectacle carried on until late Saturday when the 40th and final round was completed. 

After 40 rounds and over 1,200 players, it is time to reflect on what happened during the past three days in the 2013 Major League Baseball Draft. 

Obviously not all these players are going to contribute—some of them won't even make it out of short-season ball—but now is a time to be excited for the future and what could be. 

Major League Baseball is ready to launch an offensive.

The target: players with ties to the now-defunct Miami anti-aging clinic "Biogenesis."

Launch date: soon.

...Or at least, that's the plan.
