The 2010 MLB Draft was special


Probably 6 HoFers

  1. That’s like 3 HoFers and maybe Degrom. What other two potential HoFs are you referring to?

  2. Yasmani Grandal is the greatest catcher of all time at scamming teams into paying him

  3. There are definitely not 6 hall of famers there.
    – Harper – definitely. Could retire after this season and make the HOF
    – Machado – Most likely. He would need a Nomar style injury/ineffectiveness finish to his career to not make it. 2-3 more good seasons and he’s a lock

    That’s really it.
    – deGrom could if he gets a 3rd Cy Young g but that’s his only real path
    – Sale needs 2 more great years after this one to have a shot with basically no games missed or regression
    – Realmuto has no shot
    – Yelich has no shot
    – Castellanos has no shot
    – Merrifield has no shot
    – Joc has no shot
    – Thor has no shot

  4. In addition to the other criticisms I’d like to add that you can click one year back, or one year forward, or pretty much any draft year, and grab ten names that jump out as “hey these guys could be HOFers!” on the same level as the ones you picked here.

  5. 6 HoFers? I feel like Harper and Machado are the only likely HoFers on this list at this point.

  6. You think those guys are great? Once the Padres manage to sign number 9 pick Karsten Whitson, your teams are screwed. I mean, it’s not like the Padres would use up a first round pick on a guy who would just *not sign* and go to college, right?

  7. Reminds me of my grandfather. He said the Marlins would never be a good team because all they do is draft good players and sell them.

    I knew he was right but damn we had Yalich and JT at one point. The Marlins already have a wild catalog of players.

  8. > Pick from the Seattle Mariners for loss of Type A free agent Chone Figgins

  9. I can’t believe how often Miami hits on draft picks and just lets them bounce

    every single time

  10. Alrighty! I got Harper, I got Machado…… *squints, extends neck closer to screen* ……wait, you said six HOFers? Like, six of these players?

  11. Very special in that they apparently had 44 first round picks that year.

  12. My team lost their first round pick because they signed Chone Figgins. Chone. Figgins.

  13. Syndergaard is the only one who isn’t shown wearing the hat of the team that drafted them.
