Rd 21 1996 Barry Larkin
This is a nice pick this late.
In round 15, I was deciding between '96 Alomar and '96 Larkin (I needed both a SS and 2B at the time). I kept going back and forth, changing my mind a dozen times, but ultimately decided on Alomar because fewer teams needed a SS than a 2B, so I thought my SS choices later in the draft would be better. I ended up with '93 Jay Bell at SS (worse hitter, better defense) but supplemented that with part-time stud 2014 Troy Tulowitzki. I'm ok with my decision, but I was curious when Larkin would go.
