Let’s go back and revisit the 2006 MLB First Year Player Draft. We Dodger fans remember all too well that Clayton Kershaw was selected as the #7 overall pick that year. But that draft had some other players selected that have gone on and had good ML careers, and potentially another potential HOF pitcher to go with Kersh.
1 – Luke Hochevar
3 – Evan Longoria
5 – Brandon Morrow
6 – Andrew Miller
8 – Robert Stubbs
10 – Tim Lincecum
11 – Max Scherzer (I bet Arizona would like to have him back)
12 – Jeremy Jeffress
21 – Ian Kennedy (He was the big return in the Scherzer trade with Detroit/NYY)
30 – Adam Ottavino
Now that is a pretty impressive 1st round in 2006.
