I was looking at what the Cubs have done in the draft and it started to really sink in just how poorly the team has drafted over the years. Considering that, if I remember correctly, roughly 30% of all 1st round players end up eventually in the Majors, we suck!
Here are the Cubs first round draft picks for the past 15 years.
2008 - Andrew Cashner
2007 - Josh Vitters, Josh Donaldson
2006 - Tyler Colvin
2005 - Mark Pawelek
2004 - No 1st round picks
2003 - Ryan Harvey
2002 - Bobby Brownlie, Luke Haggerty, Chadd Blasko, Mathew Clanton
2001 - Mark Prior
2000 - Luis Montanez
1999 - Ben Christianson
1998 - Corey Patterson
1997 - Jon Garland
1996 - Todd Noel
1995 - Kerry Wood
1994 - Jayson Peterson
