Talent in MLB Drafts?

So I was wondering if you add more teams to the league, does it add more talent to the draft pool? Or is it the same amount of talent, just with more teams now?

Basically, is the amount of teams in your league proportional the amount of solid prospects given in the MLB Draft?

Short answer: yes.

Long answer: there's a talent curve that's proportional to the size of the draft. The larger the draft, the larger the curve. With more teams, the draft is generating more players per round -- hence, more talent.

Similarly, if you were to add more players by increasing the number of draft rounds, you'd see more talent.
