Way more bad picks than good ones and too many pitchers.
Indicative of the front offices we have had over that time, and our lack of ability to develop players.
They were talking about the draft in last nights game, where Petry was included(draft and the broadcast).
Pat Underwood
Petry
Morris
Trammel
Ozzie Smith
Couple others I forget, pretty damn strong draft.
Petry said he found out he was drafted by the TIgers when his mom read it in the paper the next day.
Baseball drafts are really tough. Especially drafting kids straight out of high school and making projections. Not to mention most of the pitchers blow out their arms.
Shit they sign 15 and 16 year old kids from the islands to lucrative deals. Sometimes it works out though.
Imagine an nfl team could sign 15 year olds.
The Smith-Chadd nightmare is finally over
