Background[edit]

Pitching accounted for 18 of the 30 selections in the first round of the 2006 First-Year Player Draft, including the top choice, right-hander Luke Hochevar, who was chosen by the Kansas City Royals. The University of Tennessee product pitched for the Fort Worth Cats of the Independent League after not reaching terms with the Los Angeles Dodgers, who selected him in the sandwich round (40th overall) of the 2005 First-Year Player Draft.

Six of the first seven picks and nine of the first 12 selections were pitchers. In addition to the 18 hurlers, seven outfielders, three third basemen and two catchers made up the rest of the first round.

The first six picks were from the college ranks. University of North Carolina pitchers Andrew Miller (6th overall, Tigers) and Daniel Bard (28th, Red Sox) and University of Texas teammates Drew Stubbs (8th overall, Reds) and Kyle McCulloch (29th, White Sox) went in the first round.

Kyle Drabek, the son of longtime Major League pitcher Doug Drabek, was chosen by the Philadelphia Phillies with the 18th pick. He is currently a free agent.

Detroit's Andrew Miller became the first player from the 2006 Draft to reach the Major Leagues. He debuted in relief during a doubleheader at Yankee Stadium on August 30. He would make eight relief appearances for the Tigers during their pennant-winning season. He currently pitches in the St. Louis Cardinals organization and has also played for the New York Yankees, Baltimore Orioles, Florida Marlins, Boston Red Sox and Cleveland Indians.

Tim Lincecum was the first 2006 draftee to be selected to an All-Star Game. Lincecum was selected in 2008, and joined shortly thereafter by Evan Longoria, who was selected via the Final Vote. Longoria was the only one to play in the game. Longoria would later be voted Rookie of the Year. Lincecum was also the first to win a Cy Young Award (2008 and 2009) in the National League. Clayton Kershaw, 7th in the draft, went on to win the 2011, 2013 and 2014^[1] NL Cy Young Awards, the 2014 NL MVP Award^[2] and played in the 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015 All-Star Games.

Andrew Bailey, 6th round pick by the Oakland Athletics, became the 2009 American League Rookie of the Year and participated in the 2009 All-Star Game in St. Louis and 2010 All-Star Game in Anaheim as part of the Athletics. He retired after the 2017 season. Chris Coghlan, a supplemental first round pick, was the 2009 National League Rookie of the Year as a member of the Miami Marlins. As of 2017 he is currently a free agent.

Qt signals and slots observer pattern template. This enforces that all necessary callbacks are effectively implemented (otherwise the compiler or linker will complain about missing code).

Ryan Kalish, an outfielder who planned to attend the University of Virginia, was picked in the 9th round by the Boston Red Sox. His salary of $600,000 had to be approved by the Commissioner's Office, as it was well over what others drafted in that round were to receive.^[3] He signed with the Red Sox and made his major league debut in 2010.

Max Scherzer, 1st round pick of the Arizona Diamondbacks and later traded to the Detroit Tigers, won the 2013 Cy Young Award. He is now with the Washington Nationals, with whom he won the Cy Young in 2016.

Astros, Rockies among winners on opening day of 2015 MLB draft

The Astros and Rockies were big winners on the first day of the 2015 MLB draft, which saw Vanderbilt's Dansby Swanson selected first overall by the Arizona Diamondbacks.

By David Rawnsley June 09, 2015

The Arizona Diamondbacks selected Vanderbilt shortstop Dansby Swanson with the top pick of the 2015 MLB draft on Monday night, the first selection of an intriguing Day 1 in Secaucus, N.J.

Biggest Winners

It was a good night for Major League Baseball, as we saw the effect of the new draft rules that were implemented four years ago. The rules and resultant draft slots and draft pools were meant to create cost certainty for teams and try to promote talented players regardless of their signability. MLB will never have the strict slot system of the NFL or NBA, and there are still imperfections in the system, but the league has largely accomplished those goals.

MLB 2015 MLB draft tracker: D-backs take Dansby Swanson first overall

As far as teams go, the Astros and Rockies , with their extra picks and their execution, certainly stand out. The Astros dominated the 2012 draft with their ability to spread out their bonus pool and maximize their top picks. They went away from that strategy in '13 and then endured the Brady Aiken/Jacob Nix fiasco last year. If Houston can sign outfielder Daz Cameron at pick No. 37—which you have to believe the organization will, or they wouldn't have picked him—the Astros arguably brought three of the top six players in the draft into their system along with shortstop Alex Bregman (second overall) and outfielder Kyle Tucker (fifth).

The Rockies couldn't get the college pitchers they wanted but instead got perhaps the best overall talent in shortstop Brendan Rodgers at No. 3, then picked up a couple of outstanding high school arms in righties Mike Nikorak and Peter Lambert and finished by taking third baseman Tyler Nevin in the competitive balance round.

The Diamondbacks came out ahead on the night simply because they resisted temptation and picked the right player in Swanson. There were plenty of rumors that they would do otherwise, which may have been a smokescreen. Arizona's second pick, lefthanded pitcher Alex Young, is a Wade Miley type and a solid selection as well.

You have to appreciate what Cleveland's plan was and how it was executed. The Indians choose Aiken and two very projectable but young Florida high school arms in righthander Triston McKenzie and lefty Juan Hillman. There is plenty of risk there, but a ton of ceiling as well.

Any list of winners also has to include the Royals ' area scout in Indiana, who had a career year with two talented high school righthanders in Ashe Russell at No. 21 and Nolan Watson at No. 33.

• Vanderbilt SS Dansby Swanson selected No. 1 by Diamondbacks

Biggest Losers

Teams with just one early pick: It's hard on a scouting staff to pick in the top 10, such as the Red Sox and White Sox did, and then have to sit out the rest of the day.

Teams with just one later pick: The Mets and the Padres qualify here, but they knew what they were getting into beforehand when they gave up their selections in the off-season.

Michael Matuella: The righthander from Duke was considered a potential No. 1 overall pick back in March, but Tommy John surgery and his congenital back issues apparently scared teams away, as he is still on the board after two rounds.

The Blue Jays picking righty Jonathan Harris at No. 29 has all the makings of a classic steal. Teams in the top 10 were discussing Harris, and it is hard to believe that his rough outing in the NCAA Super Regionals against Arkansas on Sunday hurt him that much.

Nikorak and third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes are two high school picks at No. 27 and No. 32, respectively, who could have been picked in the middle of the first round. Hayes also has the type of makeup and savvy on the field that doesn't come around very often. That is a reflection on the family bloodline, although his father (and longtime MLB veteran) Charlie will be the first one to tell you that he gets his intelligence from his mother.

Tampa Bay getting catcher Chris Betts at No. 52 bears a lot of similarities to the Braves picking Brian McCann with the 64th pick in the 2002 draft. Betts was talked about as a first rounder for much of the spring and has the same overall profile as McCann did at the same age.

Head Scratcher

Fresno State catcher Taylor Ward was the first real confusing pick, especially for an organization like the Angels that is severely lacking in athleticism and top-level pitching prospects in their minor league system. Ward should be a solid big-league defensive catcher, but how much offensive ceiling he brings is less certain.

The Players That Fell

Cameron is the most obvious candidate and really the only player one can easily identify as sliding due to signability concerns. Rumors circulated before the draft that he was floating a million bonus number, an amount that only fit inside the slot for the top four picks. The Astros were considered his eventual landing spot the moment he started sliding and that proved to be true.

Righty Kyle Funkhouser would have been a likely top-five pick, perhaps at No. 3 to the Rockies, if the draft had been held on Feb. 15. He had an uneven spring in both performance and in raw stuff, although his falling to No. 35 is a bit harder to understand. The Dodgers might have made out like bandits here if he returns to 2014 form.

First Player to the Major Leagues

Neither Swanson nor Bregman should need too many minor-league reps to be ready for big-league duty, but sometimes need trumps readiness more for a position player than a pitcher. Southpaw Tyler Jay, on the other hand, was drafted by a Twins team that is exceeding expectations by big margins and looks to be a serious contender. Furthermore, Jay has extensive experience working out of the bullpen.

Riskiest Picks

Brady Aiken would probably qualify for this slot regardless of who selected him, but going as high as 17th to the Indians , a traditionally more conservative drafting club, creates some risk. That is somewhat mitigated by Cleveland having an extra pick at No. 42 that ended up being McKenzie. Part of risk is the potential for big reward, though, and Aiken was the No. 1 overall pick twelve months ago.

Two players who carry plenty of risk for a different reason are a pair of northern tier high school outfielders in New York's Garrett Whitley (drafted by the Rays) and Michigan's Nick Plummer (taken by the Cardinals). Neither of them has a long resume at all of hitting against top-level pitching, although both undeniably have high-level tools, including raw bat speed.

10th Round Mlb Draft Money

• Indians select Brady Aiken with No. 17 pick in MLB draft

Good Year To Be..?

A hitter: Ten of the first 13 players selected are position players, and several of them are bat-first players, such as Tucker, outfielder/second baseman Ian Happ, second baseman/third baseman Cornelius Randolph and first baseman Josh Naylor. That shouldn't be a surprise, however. Many of the more analytics-oriented organizations such as the Astros, Cubs and Red Sox were said beforehand to be specifically targeting the best hitter available rather than the best prospect available, as is custom.

Bad Year Too Be..?

A college pitcher: Even discounting for injured pitchers such as Matuella and Nathan Kirby, this demographic really slid, as teams shifted to shortstops and high school pitchers in the 18–28 range instead of college pitching, as had been projected.

Surprise Picks

Naylor's name was mentioned more and more in the week leading up to the draft, but it came up most often in the late first round/compensation round area. His lefthanded power is legit, and he made tremendous improvement this spring in controlling his swing and making better contact. The Marlins have frequently gone off the beaten path for their first picks, so this isn't a complete surprise.

Baseball's Top 10 Busts Drafted No. 1 Overall After his selection, Roberts bypassed the minors and headed straight for The Show. The Padres' first-round pick in 1972 did the exact same thing. That player, Dave Winfield, is one of just two Padres in the Hall of Fame. Roberts never had anywhere close to that success. His best season came in 1973, when he hit .286 with 21 home runs. He never hit more than 10 home runs in any other season and left the game after hitting .182 for the Phillies in 1982. AP A dominant high school ace, the Rangers elected to go with the local product, partly to boost their sagging attendance. Like Roberts, Clyde skipped the minors entirely and made his major league debut at age 18 just three weeks after pitching his last high school game. Despite his talent, Clyde never caught on in the majors. In his five year career, he went 18-33 with a 4.63 ERA and a 1.53 WHIP. By the time he was 24, Clyde was out of the majors for good. He remains a cautionary tale for not rushing talent to the big leagues. Making matters worse for the Rangers were the three players taken immediately after Clyde: future All-Star catcher John Stearns went No. 2 overall and future Hall of Famers Robin Yount and the aforementioned Dave Winfield went No. 3 and No. 4, respectively. Tony Triolo In his first season with the Tigers, Anderson showed flashes of dominance. As a 21-year-old rookie in 1998, the right-handed flamethrower had 44 strikeouts in 44 innings of work and a 3.27 ERA. He stayed in middle relief for the Tigers for a few seasons but in 2002, he tore a muscle in his armpit and was never able to reach the frightening velocity which made him one of the game's top prospects. Some have speculated that Anderson's injury was related to an octopus throwing contest Anderson competed in held by the Tigers. He claims it was related to working out. After the Tigers let him leave in 2003, Anderson pitched just six more games in the majors, posting a 12.60 ERA for the Rockies in 2005. Duane Burleson/AP Eight years before Seattle made Ken Griffey Jr. the top pick in the draft, the Mariners chose another tools-laden high school outfielder. Unfortunately for Seattle, the results were far different. In the minors, Chambers could hit (.288/.382/.466, 85 home runs over nine seasons). In fact, in 1981, the Harrisburg, Penn., native had 20 homers and 77 RBIs. But his success in the minors never translated to the majors. Chambers played just 57 games across three big league seasons, hitting .208 with two home runs and 11 RBIs. He was sent down from Seattle when he was 24 and never made it back to the bigs. BBS/Getty Images A multi-sport athlete oozing with talent, the Mets took Abner first overall in 1984. Like their top choices in 1980, when New York picked Strawberry and future Oakland A's general manager Billy Beane with first-round picks, Abner fit the mold of an overly athletic high school outfielder with an ostensibly limitless ceiling. He proved to be anything but. Abner never reached the majors with the Mets, and in 1985, he was part of a multi-player deal with the Padres. He finally debuted in 1987, and in six major league seasons, Abner would hit .227/.269/.323 with just 11 homers in 840 at-bats. By the time he was 26, Abner was out of the majors with as many career triples as organizations he'd been a part of (four). V.J. Lovero Bullington's numbers at Ball State were far short of dominant, making him something of a surprise choice for Pittsburgh in a draft that also included B.J. Upton, Zack Greinke , Prince Fielder, Cole Hamels and Matt Cain. Unlike those players, Bullington never found a home in the majors. He bounced around four different organizations after the Pirates placed him on waivers in 2008. He last pitched in the majors in 2010, having compiled a career record of 1-9 with a 5.62 ERA and 1.58 WHIP. Jeff Roberson/AP Though there are No. 1 picks with worse career numbers than Goodwin, the former Southern University product earns his ranking for one key reason: He was the top pick twice. Goodwin never signed with the White Sox after being the top choice in the 1971 draft. Instead he went to college and was taken by the Angels with the first pick in 1975. He went to the majors and embarked on what became an ultimately forgettable career. In seven seasons, Goodwin hit .236 with 13 home runs over 252 games. He left the majors in 1982 and tried to resurrect his career four years later with a stop in Japan. Goodwin would later wind up having a much longer career in the Braves front office. Peter Read Miller In baseball's first amateur draft, the Mets chose Chilcott one spot before the Kansas City A's selected Arizona State prospect Reggie Jackson. While Jackson soon became, it was once said, a 'superduperstar' who wound up in the Hall of Fame, Chilcott never even reached the majors and he played just 22 games in Triple-A. He had seemed to be a dream prospect — a power hitting catcher with a 5'11', 185-pound frame and a hose for an arm. But a chronic shoulder issue and a shin infection, among other maladies, helped prevent him from reaching his potential near his full potential. He retired at 24 after seven seasons (spent mostly in A-ball), during which he hit .248 with 39 home runs for the Mets, Yankees and Expos organizations. Harold Filan/AP Taylor was declared by some to be the greatest high school pitching prospect of all-time when the Yankees drafted him first overall. However, in the 1993 off-season, Taylor was involved in a fight which ruined his pitching arm and required serious surgery. He was never the same. In 1996, Taylor posted an 18.73 ERA over nine starts in A-ball, walking 43 in 16 innings. The next season, he put up a 14.33 ERA with 52 walks in 27 innings. Taylor's career ended in 2000 following an unsuccessful season at A-ball in the Indians organization, making him the second top pick to never reach the majors. Among the players on Cleveland's roster that year was a hitting star who had also gone in the first round in 1991 and, as a New York native, might have been attractive to the Yankees: Manny Ramirez. Al Messerschmidt/Getty Images No first overall pick has had as ignominious of a career as Matt Bush. The two-way prospect gave a hometown discount to the Padres and his struggles began immediately. He hit just .192 without a home run at rookie ball and low-A, and followed it up by hitting .221 at Class A. After being turned into a pitcher in 2007, he was traded him to Toronto. While Bush has shown new life in 2016 as a middle reliever with the Rangers, it's his long string of transgressions off the field — starting with his arrest in a bar fight shortly after being drafted — which cement him as the worst No. 1 pick of all-time. The player drafted immediately after Bush was Justin Verlander, the 2006 AL Rookie of the Year and 2011 AL Cy Young and MVP. Ronald Martinez/Getty Images 1 of 10
