6th pick on '07. Supposed to be the second best lefty in the draft after David Price. Moustakas and Wieters taken ahead of him too. Mad Bum dropped to 10th pick, Jayson Heyward to 14. Pretty unimpressive 1st round in retrospect. Todd Frazier, Travis D'Arnaud, Sean Doolittle and Josh Donaldson went in the supplemental round.
I dunno, it looks like a weird tale of two half-rounds to me. The first 15 picks are a pretty standard top 15. The guys you named are pretty much all what I would consider "hits" for an MLB draft, and then Detwiler and Jarrod Parker had their moments, even if they did disappoint. That's not great for a top 15, but it's acceptable.
But then you get to the back half of that round and it's a who's who of busts: Arencibia, Savery, Alderson, Brackman...just putrid. Porcello was really the only one to pan out. The second best of the bunch could well be
Pete Ko--he who must not be named.
