June 1, 20179 yr 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.
June 1, 20179 yr Gerald Posey....no wonder he goes by Buster lol I guess he could go with Gerry. Gerry Posey though...
June 1, 20179 yr Author 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.

June 1, 20179 yr 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.
June 1, 20179 yr 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.
