This isn't the best guy on the board, but screw it, he's a favorite...

Detroit selects John Olerud of the Toronto Blue Jays

I guess Prince Fielder's out job hunting with his Dad

First time kept before the first round: Buster Posey, Giants.
First time claimed at any time during the draft phase: Shawn Green, Blue Jays;  Pat Dobson, Orioles

Orthodox (selection of the franchise's Top 5 rated over the years): Astros, Braves, Expos, Marlins, Padres, Phillies, Red Sox, Tigers

Marlins have the biggest dropoff (by my measure) between their #5 and #6 rated players (most obvious choice of first 5), followed by Padres and Expos tied.

Marlins have been used 10 times for which I have records, and 47 of their 50 first-round keepers have been Brown, Sheffield, Ramirez, Cabrera, Piazza.  Piazza's been passed over twice and Cabrera once.

some of us were laid off recently & are interviewing during the day, so not much access to online, I'm glad we are patient & just skipped over me

Good luck man!  Hope you get a job soon!
