Laughable considering where he was drafted.
Just the Royals luck they had the No. 1 pick in THAT draft. Should have just taken Longoria, but...

The most successful guys beyond him are Little Bitch Lincecum (whose body and game is falling apart in his fifth full season), who was a gigantic risk and a real lottery ticket, and Clayton Kershaw, a lefthanded high school pitcher (No player of that description has ever made an All-Star game after being selected first overall).

Looking at the rest of that garbage first round, you see a lot of guys who haven't come close to being as valuable as a No. 5 starting pitcher.
