You never really know where you're going to find a franchise centerpiece -- or even the game's best player.
Five center fielders already had been taken in the first round of the 2009 Draft when the Angels selected Mike Trout of Millville (N.J.) Senior High School with the 25th overall pick.
The Rockies also got lucky. Six left-side infielders were gone when Colorado, with the 59th overall choice in the second round, tabbed Nolan Arenado of El Toro High School in Lake Forest, Calif. Their first-round pick (No. 11 overall) had been lefty Tyler Matzek of Capistrano Valley High in nearby Mission Viejo.
