This.

Another one from this guy.

Didn't know this:

Every pick since 2005 is still with the team that drafted them

I got to #3 in the 2005 draft (Jeff Clement) and #5 in the 2006 draft (Brandon Morrow) before finding players who changed teams. There were others, but maybe I just don't understand what that guy is trying to say.

Yeah, I have no idea what he means.  Right after Morrow in '06 was Andrew Miller, who is no longer with the Tigers either.  Jeffress (#16) is out of the Brewers organization, Antonelli (#17) is not a Dodger, Drabek (#18) isn't a Phillie, and on and on.  I might understand if only I had constant reminders on how to use that site.

I'm pretty sure he's only talking about #1 overall picks.

If only he had said that instead of "teams' top picks".

To be fair, and your quotation marks notwithstanding, he never actually uses the phrase "teams' top picks"...

When Top Picks Get Traded

when Pittsburgh uses its top pick tonight

2004's top pick, Matt Bush

2003's top pick, Delmon Young

2002's top pick, Bryan Bullington

The 2000 top pick posted strong numbers

But let's not assume that these top pick stories will all end in misery and missed opportunities.

1990's top pick, Chipper Jones

Not to nit-pick or anything.

Can you use less quotes next time?

That depends largely on what I'm discussing next time.

I make no promises.

That's fair, for some reason I thought I'd read it earlier and didn't want to look it up on mobile to be sure later. I stand corrected. Do we at least agree the love device (the rhetorical one, pervs) is dumb as shit?

I guess this technically belongs in the Totally Unmailable thread, but this memo written by Stew during his college internship for MLB is awesome.
