While we are waiting for the next pick, I thought I would post some interesting stats on the player pool.
.
Excluding Bonus players, there are a total of 720 players in the pool (30 teams * 24 players per team).
.
Of these 720, there are 516 unique players
Of the 516 unique players, 396 players were selected exactly once
73 players were selected exactly 2 times
24 players were selected exactly 3 times
16 players were selected exactly 4 times
4 players were selected exactly 5 times (Carew, Gossage, Simmons, Seaver)
1 player was selected 6 times (Sutton)
1 player was selected 7 times (Schmidt)
1 player was selected 9 times (Rose)
.
Of the 16 players selected 4 times, the most obscure/surprising player in this group is Ken Sanders
Of the 24 players selected 3 times, the most obscure/surprising player in this group is John Candelaria
Of the 73 players selected 2 times, the most obscure/surprising player in this group is Aurelio Monteagudo
.
Of the 396 players selected just 1 time, the players I am shocked weren't selected more times: Bob Gibson & George Brett
