There's another GREAT hitter who lasted a lot longer than I thought he would (Howard, that is...this post is the first on the new page;-)
Two legs in a row where Ryan Howard was drafted in the second round. In #34, Phillies owner tridentric went with Schmidt and a 4-man rotation to start, and then chose not to pull Howard back when he went undrafted in Round 1. Howard went to rbow923's Padres with the 5th pick of Round 2.
In 9 straight legs before that, Howard was always protected before Round 1.
