We should’ve known we were in for a wild MLB Draft the moment the Texas Rangers selected Kumar Rocker third overall. The Rangers’ decision to draft Rocker way higher than most everyone had him going, and earlier than he went last year, was the first sign that things were about to go off the rails. RIP to AL West hitters facing Rocker and Jack Leiter for the next decade.
Things got even more unpredictable when Cade Horton went to the Chicago Cubs. Horton went from a doubtful first-round pick to #7 in the span of a couple of months, thanks in large part to his incredible showing during the College World Series.
