Wow the Sox missed out. Suprisingly the Yankees didnt do that bad.

2006 - Yankees pick Ian Kennedy and Joba Chamberlain for Phillies signing Tom Gordon.
Posted by: yanksfan | November 03, 2008 at 04:21 PM
Didn't Mets select Wright with the Hampton pick? Wright was taken with a sandwich pick, while Heilman was taken in first round, 18th overall.
Posted by: hailmatty | November 03, 2008 at 04:22 PM
These are only first round picks. The sandwich picks are coming at a later date.
Tim, no love for Ian Kennedy? And also, are there really no notable picks since 2005?
Posted by: yanksown | November 03, 2008 at 04:24 PM
Think about it, if the Red Sox never signed Renteria, they could have had Rasmus and been able to trade Ellsbury for Santana and would have owned. Thank god!
Posted by: yanksown | November 03, 2008 at 04:26 PM
There has to be some equally not so successful choices too, right?
I mean it just seems crazy to believe all of them work out this well.
Posted by: basicslop | November 03, 2008 at 04:26 PM
Tim, what's with all these YES on 8 advertisements.
Posted by: Thirty5Thirty6 | November 03, 2008 at 04:31 PM
Been getting a few emails about that ad. Which ad spot does it show in? I didn't choose it specifically.

"Think about it, if the Red Sox never signed Renteria, they could have had Rasmus and been able to trade Ellsbury for Santana and would have owned."
You are assuming that is who they would have drafted. The list is based on the team that received the compensations pick. I would be surprised if any of the picks listed would have been the same.
Posted by: cwilli | November 03, 2008 at 04:33 PM
The add shows up in the add below the post.
Posted by: cwilli | November 03, 2008 at 04:35 PM
basicslop, Tim's just pointing out the best ones. The vast majority of draft picks, regardless of the round, never reach the majors.
Posted by: yanksfan | November 03, 2008 at 04:38 PM
A screenshot or anything else you can give me would be helpful. I think because I am in IL I never see it.
Posted by: Tim Dierkes | November 03, 2008 at 04:41 PM
Vote Yes on 8!
I'm actually surprised to see the lack of impact players on the list. Not as many good ones as I had thought there would be.
Posted by: bjsguess | November 03, 2008 at 04:44 PM
What's really funny is that despite signing major free agents every year the Yanks have only had one year (2002) when they didn't have any 1st rd picks at all.
Posted by: YanksFanSince78 | November 03, 2008 at 04:46 PM
hailmatty, You are correct that David Wright was taken with the Supplemental 1st from losing Hampton, along with Aaron Heilman. Quite a nice haul.
Posted by: AdropOFvenom | November 03, 2008 at 04:51 PM
The election is tomorrow. People can't wait two days for some banner ad on some California ballot measure to go away? Geez.
Posted by: Fan o the Rumors | November 03, 2008 at 04:51 PM
heilmatty, indeed. If it wasn't for the wonderful school oppurtunities for Mike Hampton's children, David Wright would not be a Met. Beat me to it.

bjsguess-
"Vote Yes on 8!"
Because it saves the sanctity of marriage. Kind of like the 41% divorce rate for first marriages, right?

i said could have, i get what you are saying but everything was hypothetical
Posted by: yanksown | November 03, 2008 at 05:29 PM
How exactly did the Red Sox "miss out"? On Swisher? We got Damon who helped us win a World Series and Swisher had a terrible season with Chicago. I'll take that trade off any day.
On Rasmus? Sure, I'll give ya that one, but we managed to scoop up a decent CF prospect in Ellsbury in the same process.
Looks to me like the Sox did just fine(obviously Renteria was a bad decision).
Posted by: Papelboner | November 03, 2008 at 05:32 PM
Didn't the Red Sox also sign Clay Buchholz for losing Pedro Martinez to the Mets?
Posted by: MeddlePAL | November 03, 2008 at 05:46 PM
Papelboner
Thats what I meant. Missing Ramsus and instead signing Renteria who played bad. Ellsbury is a nice CF, not great but solid lead off hitter with amazing defense. Hey the Yanks got Hughes out of this and Chamberlin too.
Posted by: yankfan1 | November 03, 2008 at 06:40 PM
I guess I'm not really following you, but whatever. You guys missed out on Joe Blanton, the best guy on this list (in terms of actual MLB production to date), but because of the nature of these things, I didn't think I needed to rub it in.
Posted by: Papelboner | November 03, 2008 at 06:58 PM
nah Thirty5Thirty6 - I just prefer that the will of the people decide law rather than a few justices in the most liberal state supreme court in the country. But I digress ... that's a topic for another forum.
These "could have had" arguments are really silly. The probability of the team actually drafting the exact same player is very low. Even if the team would have retained the draft pick they could have easily screwed it up by picking someone who never develops (which is a majority of draftees).
Posted by: bjsguess | November 03, 2008 at 07:10 PM
Gregg Colbrunn?
Posted by: jza1218 | November 03, 2008 at 07:35 PM
Ha, Papelboner... That has to be one of the best usernames I've seen.
Tim: great idea for a post! Very intersting.
