The 2010 MLB Draft was special


Probably 6 HoFers

  1. Noah was drafted the Toronto Blue Jays. The mets traded R.A. Dickey to the Jays for Noah and Travis D’arnaud.

  2. Castellanos probably the worst of the bunch, both for his career and his impact on world events.

  3. There are 2 hall of famers. deGrom, Sale, Realmuto, and Yelich have had great careers but none are hall of famers

  4. Wonder what happened to that Russell Wilson character… Wonder if he’s still cooking

  5. This was certainly a fantastic draft.

    It’ll be interesting to give the 2019 class a few more years to see how they stack up. That group was also loaded.

  6. Interesting how not a single one of these guys are still on the team that drafted them.

    Also, Harper and Machado are pretty much the only ones who have a great chance at the making the HoF. Yelich, Degrom and Sale have a small chance. No one else is even sniffing the hall.

  7. why do Manny Machado and Bryce Harper look exactly the same in this picture?

  8. Harper is the only one realistically.

    Sale and Degrom fall short not because of talent.

    Manny is really good and has all the counting stats but kinda not HOF. His counting will be HOF, His talent personally is not.

    If we are being honest Realmuto with a decent few more years should get a look.

    The way they look at Catchers vs others is just dumb. its just not probably assessed.
    When your one of the best catchers in the game for years it means something.

    4 more years of similar production and he probably breaks 50 WAR and more.

  9. Not sure about 6 HoFers

    100%- Harper, Machado

    75%- DeGrom (due to so many injuries)

    50%- Yellich, Sale (depends how both their careers go from here)

    Nobody else here is even close

  10. 6? As of right now I see 1 – Harper – with maybe 1 or 2 more.

    Machado maybe. I suppose he could get in like Rolen. Similar rate stats although Rolen has 6 more gold gloves.

    Realmuto’s worth consideration given his position. He’s regularly catching 80+% of his team’s games and being extremely productive. It’s going to be difficult for voters to not vote for Realmuto if he gets to 6000 to 7000 plate appearances with an OPS+ around 110.

    Yelich is a tough one. Considering guys like Lofton and Edmonds were one and done, I think he’ll have to maintain his level of production for several years.

    Sale and deGrom don’t have enough IP. Sale maybe can do it if he throws another 700 innings. He’s still only at 1881. Halladay had 2700 IP and a similar ERA+ to Sale. I don’t think deGrom will throw enough innings to get in.

  11. The Reds 2010 MLB draft was not so special. Other than Grandal, who got sent to San Diego in exchange for Mat Latos, the highlight was a 28th round pitcher who got partially eaten by a shark after the draft. He got better though. Then he got eaten alive by the greatest predator known to man, AAA hitting. RIP Chad Rogers; you’re probably still alive, but nobody cares.
