bmags Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/events/draft/y2008/drafttracker.jsp We flog ourselves a lot for Beckham but we may very well have drafted the best player we could have. 2008 draft: Buster Posey Tyson Ross (2nd round) Gerrit Cole (unsigned) Hosmer everyone else. Let's hope 2017 isn't a big clunker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted June 1, 2017 Author Share Posted June 1, 2017 Should note, there are a few interesting later round picks but man, pretty crappy overall. 75-100 may be most interesting set, includes Charlie Blackmon and Craig Kimbrel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtySox Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Hehe. I remember at the time and shortly after how 2008 was touted as one of the most stacked classes in years. Didn't end up that way in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
