What about counting Greg Halman's untimely death?
I actually totally forgot about that. Stabbed by your brother...awful
What are we 4 years into this league now? I was just wondering what people thoughts were on their best minor league pickups throughout the years.
Mine's pretty easy, Joey Votto from our first minor league draft. If I recall, Jay Bruce went right in front of me and I was pretty upset about it at the time. I also had Melancon as a minor league pickup when he got called up with the yanks which I was pretty pumped about until Bailey went to BOS. I vaguely recall Gio Gonzalez being a minor league draft pick of mine but I can't confirm.
McCutchen (2.07 '08) was pretty good for me (dealt this year for Kershaw). My best FA pickup was probably CarGo - just sitting there at the end of the only season I didn't win the regular standings.
EDIT: Posey wasn't bad either, drafted in at 2.1 in '09. EDIT: ...nor was HellBoy at 4.1 in '09.
