likely to pick an all-star 15th as you are 1st.

It’s getting better but 1st just means he’s most likely going to appear in the majors, nothing more. - Will Hunting Dec 5, 17:57
Every Overall #1 draft pick ever. A lot of fond memories in these names. (The Mariners went 2-1-1 in their four picks) -- (link) - crash davis 😺 Dec 5, 17:52 6
- (which is really fucking good relative to the overall track record) -- nm - David Dec 5, 17:57 5
  - #1 picks are overrated and need to learn to not throw punches at people in bars. -- nm - Krusty Dec 5, 18:08 4
    - That was a racist incident, and I still get sick when I think about it. Truegas would have been a star, but some racist redneck ruined it. -- nm - David Dec 5, 18:10 3
      - I was thinking of Brien Taylor who lost it after getting injured fighting but it wasn't a bar but at someone's home. -- nm - Krusty Dec 5, 18:49 2
        
        That's who I mean. Someone at a bar threw a racist slur at his brother. -- nm - David Dec 5, 18:53 1
        
        Ahh, right. And then he and his brother went to fight that guy and that's where he gets injured. Such a shame. -- nm - Krusty Dec 5, 19:16
The track record is absolutely atrocious. Half the guys drafted in the first round never make the majors. -- nm - David Dec 5, 17:28
kinda has to the O's recently (only in the sense that they sucked so hard they kept getting #1 picks) -- nm - hollywood big shot Dec 5, 17:17 9
- Elias is basically hitting blackjack on every pick which is absurd. - Will Hunting Dec 5, 17:58 8
  - Does Nathan like baseball? -- nm - David Dec 5, 18:05 7
    - No - Will Hunting Dec 5, 18:11 6
      - Rats. What should we get him for Christmas? -- nm - David Dec 5, 18:13 5
        
        Honestly, he’s all about Roblox and stuff…I need to ask him if he’s ever played risk. He plays games like that on the computer. - Will Hunting Dec 5, 18:15 4
        
        Sounds good. No rush. -- nm - David Dec 5, 18:19
        
        Conquer Club is a great game for Risk. Lots of different maps and styles and was a thing at ST for a number of years -- nm - Beaker 🍻 Dec 5, 18:16 2
        
        I want him off the electronics…it’s too much -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 5, 18:19 1
        
        yeah, I get that -- nm - Beaker 🍻 Dec 5, 18:20
