Exploring The Value Teams Get From First Round Picks
Published 6/4/2008 at BBTF's Baseball Primer Newsblog
Exploring The Value Teams Get From First Round Picks The only time Reggie Smith will be mentioned in the same breath as Cal Ripken: The Orioles got 21 seasons out of Cal Ripken. But did the Red Sox do better with Reggie Smith?...You could probably make a case either way for which team got more “value” from their 21 seasons. In my opinion, Ripken is still more valuable but it’s no longer a stretch to say that the Red Sox got nearly equal value out of the draft pick that netted the club Reggie Smith as the Orioles did from Cal Ripken.
