MLBTradeRumors recently reported that the Angels will lose the19th overall pick to the Cardinals, who also obtain a supplementary first rounder, when they locked up the 'Machine' Albert Pujols. At first I scoffed, I mean really did anyone good ever come out of the 19th Round of the MLB Draft? After a little snooping around I stumbled across this little gem.
Going back 31 years, I didn't see to many interesting names, with the exception of Roger Clemens. Gadzooks! Roger Clemens, even before the alleged steroids abuse, he was an awesome pitcher. But out of 31 years there was only Hall of Famer. I mean Alex Rios was good-- but I don't see him going into the Hall of Fame. If you go back a few more years our very own Mike Scioscia was drafted 19th Overall by the Dodgers. So what am I getting at? Bottom line-- I'd be more than happy to gamble on the fact that Pujols will do more for this team then whomever the Boston Red Sox draft for the 19th Overall Pick.
