Brien Taylor (born December 26, 1971)
was a baseball pitcher best known for being just the second
Major League Baseball player to be picked first in the MLB Draft yet
never make the major leagues.
Taylor was born in Beaufort, North Carolina and drafted by the New York Yankees
in 1991. He was offered about $350,000 to sign a minor league contract,
the typical amount given to #1 draft choices at that time.
However, agent Scott Boras (acting as an "advisor"
because unsigned players were not allowed to have an agent at that time)
advised the Taylor family that last year's top-rated high school pitcher,
Todd Van Poppel, was given more than $1.5 million dollars to sign with the
Oakland Athletics, giving up a scholarship to Stanford University
in the process. The Taylors held out for "Van Poppel money" even though
they had less leverage due to the fact that Brien's poor grades at
East Carteret High School in North Carolina prevented him
from getting a college scholarship anywhere.
They then used a local community college as leverage to get the
Yankees to agree to pay Van Poppel money. The Yankees
were without the official services of George Steinbrenner
who was serving a suspension at the time but through the media,
Steinbrenner said that if the Yankees let Taylor get away,
they should be "shot." Taylor was signed for $1.55 million
the day before his classes were set to begin.
Further delay would have meant the deal could not be signed
until after the school year ended, which coincided
with the following year's draft.
While working up the minor league ranks in 1993,
Taylor suffered a torn labrum while defending his brother
in a bar fight. He was never the same pitcher again.
He was at AA before the incident but spent the bulk of the remainder
of his minor league career struggling at Single A.
He was released by the Yankees at the end of the 1998 season
and pitched for minor league affiliates of the
Seattle Mariners and Cleveland Indians until retiring in 2000.
He became the second baseball player to be drafted first
overall and retire without ever reaching the majors.
Steve Chilcott was drafted ahead of Reggie Jackson
by the New York Mets in 1966 but injuries sustained
while in the minors derailed his career.
英文不好，好像是說他是沒上過大聯盟的選秀狀元吧？
有人能幫翻嗎 ？
