Thoughts on the 2001 MLB draft?

 

[playmaker7]

Not as ass as the 2000 draft but wow looking back at these drafts you can see how highly teams thought of some of these guys who didn't pan out

 

[RipCity32]

Once again Detroit dropped the ball. Kenny Baugh?

2 future HOF'ers in Joe Mauer and Mark Texeiria. And another who shouldve been a HOF'er in Mark Prior, kind of sad how his career just went to pieces.

 

[redbrid8]

the 1 and 2 picks are great 3 and 4 are just :rotfl: and 5 is great

 

[Gtown81]

too bad Gabe Gross's best days were in spring training lol

Probably one of the worst drafts in recent memory, Tex and Mauer stand out, Gavin Floyd isn't terrible, other than that, it's pretty ugly.

Its one of the worst cuz there arent any latino players in the 1st round.
