As I have probably mentioned before, one of my favorite things to do on an almost daily basis is to scour the depths of past drafts and, more importantly, the late to late-late round picks who made a career out of the game. That, or at least contributed in some manner.
There have been some guys who had been nearly written off before a club took a chance. Heck, Mike Trout was passed over by 24 teams, including the Los Angeles Angels before they rectified their mistake. You know what they say: you don’t make the same mistake twice.
