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.

I guess shoutout to Yonder Alonso though.

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.

Agreed, overall 2008 was a very weak draft

Brandon Crawford in the 4th

Tanner Roark in the 25th

Alex Avila in the 5th

Josh Harrison in the 6th

Dee Gordon in the 4th

Collin McHugh in the 18th

 

Yeah, that's not great.

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.
