It was five short years ago when Andrew Friedman, then the President of Baseball Operations for the Rays, declared that the 2011 draft would be on of the most important events in the franchise's history as the team would have the opportunity to select 12 players over the first 89 picks.
It was like hitting the jackpot for the Rays, who of course rely on these draft picks in order to hopefully find a future all-star and award winner as they certainly can not afford the high price tags of premium free agents and acquiring them through trades would deplete their system.
