Yes, very curious that the 1600th overall pick never made it to the majors.

i bet he goes on this website and saw his name and his heart completely stopped

If only Boras had represented him, he might have gotten a few mil out of Tom Hicks or some other genius.

I long for the days where there was even a remote chance the Yankees would get the first overall pick

If only there were a level playing field…with a salary cap, you might get your wish

I’d prefer a salary floor. Alex Rodriguez will make more this year than the entire Kansas City Royals and fairly close to the Pirates. Who’s at fault there?

Texas Rangers?
JacksTigers
You do know that he signed a new contract a couple years ago, right?

Royals are making $4.2mil more than A-Rod.

Oh c’mon! Don’t ruin the top story for when they meet in the playoffs this year!

MLB has a level playing field – If teams have smart management.

Who was the only other No. 1 overall pick, besides Taylor, to never play a game in the majors?

I just found the answer to my question on the amazing baseball-reference.com:
baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=chilco…
Strange that, at age 21, he made it to AAA one year, but then played A ball the next. Must have been an injury.
If you knew this answer, you’re either one helluva baseball whiz / historian or related to Mr. Chilcott.

Matt Bush?

haha Thats what san diego gets for drafting a 5’9” guy first

What does height have to do with it? Dustin Pedroia says hi.

Steve Chilcott, 1966 by the Mets. Bush will likely make it three, but I don’t think he technically qualifies, yet since he is still pitching in AA for the Rays.

And what a heartbreaking pick that was.
