First-round picks are highly overrated. Every June they act like they are all going straight to the majors. Okay, well some of them do.
Most of these guys play around in the minor leagues and then it becomes fair game. A lot of major-leaguers are late-round picks that were very well developed.
Don’t believe me? I’ll show you the lowest draft pick from each American League team playing today, and you’ll be surprised who you recognize.
