It was Thursday, June 9, 2016. What a great birthday present for me, Day 1 of the MLB Rule 4 (First Year Player) Draft. Everything I was reading indicated that the Dodgers were leaning towards a HS shortstop as their #1 draft pick. They had two other first rounders that they could spend on college picks (and did: Will Smith and Jordan Sheffield). But the thought of grabbing a HS SS who could be a potential replacement for Corey Seager (if necessary) was too much to turn down. They had time to develop him. If they missed on a HS player they could make it up with the 32nd and 36th pick.
