Heading into the 2003 MLB Amateur Draft, the Tampa Bay Rays were sitting on the first overall selection. Normally, that is an enviable position, and one where a franchise changing player can be available. Let, in that draft, there was not one specific player that stood out to the front office.
Instead, they had to decide between two players. The Rays scouts both thought highly of Delmon Young and Rickie Weeks, to the point where the two players were in a dead heat for the pick. In fact, it was essentially a coin flip, with the Rays eventually making the decision to take Young over Weeks.
