Not long ago, we went over what I considered the worst first round draft pick in Pittsburgh Pirates history. This pick came in the 2002 draft. In this draft, the Pirates had the number one overall selection, and used that pick to select Bryan Bullington when players were such as Prince Fielder, Joey Votto, Zack Greinke, Cole Hamels, and many other great players were available. But a close second one the list of worst 1st round picks in franchise history just might be the team’s 1st round pick from the 2007 draft.
The 2006 Pittsburgh Pirates were not a great team.
