The MLB First-Year Player Draft isn't unlike any other kind of player acquisition.
There's hope that selected players will work out, just as there is hope that free agents and players from trades will turn into quality deals, too.
The flip side is the risk that comes with new players. There are no guarantees that an ace high school pitcher will develop into a Cy Young candidate, just as there are no guarantees that the recipient of a six-year contract will be a star.
Jon Daniels has seen the good and the bad from the draft during his reign as Texas Rangers general manager.
