Stottlemyre is a rare player to be picked in the first round of the draft twice... in the same year. For up until 1986, as well as the June draft, there was a January one, for high school and college players who graduated in the winter. Todd was the first overall pick in January 1985, but did not sign (his brother, Mel, went at #3 and did become an Astro). He re-entered the draft for the larger June phase - there were only 69 players chosen in January - and Todd went #3 overall there, selected by Toronto. It was, frankly, a dreadful draft class.
