Ah, Tony Sanchez. Yet another example of a failed top 5 pick from the 2009 draft. You had Strasburg at #1, but to say the rest of the top 5 is disappointing is an understatement.
#2 Dustin Ackley, #3 Donovan Tate, #4 Tony Sanchez, #5 Matt Hobgood
Ackley has been a decent major leaguer, but not exactly what you would want out of the #2 overall pick. The rest are just not good at all.

Ackley as a decent major leaguer is quite generous. He was a train wreck in Seattle. 2-5 just a mess though

Good examples of the possible bust rates for prospects. It’s great to have them, but one has to think they get valued over established production far too often

Matt Duffy is a bit of a steal for Texas. He won the PCL MVP just a year ago and could always rebound with a change of scenery. He’ll never be a star, but he could be a very valuable role player.

2009 angels get Skaggs, Richards, Calhoun, Trout, Grichuk, Lindsey

Corbin was in that draft for LA too, right?
