I used to get excited about it. Maybe that was because the Rays used to be less frustrating and they used to have an impressive track record in the draft. So, we could look at these picks with reasonable certainty that they were the future that was going to keep the gravy train rolling.
But somewhere around the time the Rays traded Wil Myers, lost Ben Zobrist and David Price, and every other pitcher started having Tommy John parties, the Rays were also drafting guys like Josh Sale and LeVon Washington. That’s when I finally woke up: The MLB Draft is bullsh*t.
