The 2010 MLB Draft is here. Tonight, all 30 teams will make their first-round selections and hope they have landed their respective franchise’s next star. Leading the pack, and all the coverage and hype, is junior college star Bryce Harper.
Harper is a sign, sealed, and delivered lock to go number one overall to the Washington Nationals. From there, the baseball world will descend on the 17-year-old’s head as it watches and waits for him, like last year’s top pick Stephen Strasburg, to make his big league debut.
But where does Harper rank among the top overall draft picks of the last 10 years, taking into consideration Harper’s selection which is merely hours away? Is he already the best? Or does the guy many compare him to take the top spot?
