Aaron Rowand. Remember him?
He was a Gold Glove caliber center fielder that played a major role on the Chicago White Sox 2005 World Series team.
He was also the last position player drafted in the first round during the Kenny Williams or Rick Hahn era to have a successful major league career.
Since selecting Rowand in 1999, the White Sox have had a continuous string of failure at drafting position players. They have also had a revolving door in center field since trading him away after the 2005 season.
