January 4, 200818 yr Check the below list to see how 2002 picks stack up against each other at present. It doesn't seem to be a science as we passed up Matt Cain for gulp...Royce Ring. Heck, the Reds had the #3 pick overall and he's in "A" ball still. They passed on Prince Fielder, Khalil Greene, Cole Hamels, Jeff Franceour, Jeremy Hermida, Scott Kazmir. http://www.thebaseballcube.com/draft/2002/Round-1-1.shtml Edited January 4, 200818 yr by RudyLawRules

Mark Buehrle went in something like the 36th round. I believe when we took Ring we also passed on Joe Blanton.

Would've been nice if KW somehow had him a part of the deal. Of course we had no prospects left to add. lol.
January 4, 200818 yr Here's proof that you can reload in one draft - take a look at the first round for the red sox in 2005 http://www.thebaseballcube.com/draft/2005/Round-1-1.shtml
January 4, 200818 yr Perhaps more than reinforcing the crap shoot that prospects can be, this reinforces that the White Sox suck at that crap shoot known as the draft when you see the history of people they passed up.
January 4, 200818 yr or for those of you who are too lazy.... Craig Hansen, Ellsbury, Bucholz, Jed Lowrie, Michael Bowden In the FIRST round White sox just need to reload in a BIG way

So who sucks worse...the team that's doing the crappy drafting or the team who is trading for all the crappy players from our crappy drafts?

January 4, 200818 yr well, generally teams don't get 5 first round picks... so it is a bit of a bad comparison... Looking back at the 02 draft, James Loney would be sweet to have right now.

I see that in 2006 Joba Chamberlain went 12 picks after Kyle McCulloch.
