In response to "Is the following statement correct? Since 1980, Dwight Gooden and Jack McDowell are the only two pitchers drafted..." by Inigo

Oddly, the statement becomes true if you look at ONLY #5 picks. And not top 5 picks. (nm)

total cherry picking to make it true though.

That really could be it. If so, what a craptacular stat to bring up. -- nm - Inigo Jun 29, 12:51
Bobby Witt, Greg Swindell, Tim Belcher and Andy Benes are all top 5 picks who won 100+. (nm) - musubi Jun 29, 12:50
I presume their point is that picking in the top 5 in the MLB Draft isn't like any other sports, which is true. - David Jun 29, 12:49 1
- True. But that point could easily be made without cherry picking something like *only* #5 picks. Some really good hitters have been taken #5. - musubi Jun 29, 12:53
