[閒聊] Getting it right, and getting it wrong

[beckseaton (沒有運動會死)]

事隔18年在讚頌一下當年選擇隊長 然後再鞭屍一下當年跳過隊長的五支球隊選擇

當然我們自己也不是每次都好 有人被選了跑去打大學籃球 有人拒絕合約去UCLA投球


How unpredictable is baseball’s amateur draft?


Back in 1992, five teams passed on Derek Jeter. These were the top picks

in the draft, the best of the best, and most have names you quite possibly

— probably? — never heard of. Not a single one of them is still playing,

and Tyler Kepner wrote a terrific New York Times piece about the guys who

can always say they were drafted ahead of the Captian.



“Every time I’m approached about the draft, they talk to me like I was a

flop because I wasn’t as successful as Derek Jeter,” No. 1 pick Phil

Nevin said.



Of course, the Yankees haven’t always gotten it right. Back in 2005,

when the draft class was ridiculously loaded, the Yankees first-round pick

was high school shortstop C.J. Henry, who flamed out and wound up playing

college basketball. The Yankees are still waiting for a return on their

investment into 2007 first-round pick Andrew Brackman, and in 2008 they

took a chance on Gerrit Cole, who turned down their offer and chose to pitch

at UCLA.




This year’s can’t-miss prospect is Bryce Harper, who will almost certainly

go to the Nationals with the top pick. If you haven’t already, be sure to

check on Tom Verducci’s Sports Illustrated cover story from last year.
