Hits and Misses in the Major League Draft: What the Top Picks Teach Us About Picking Tomorrow's Baseball Stars
Alan Maimon
If unpredictability is so much of what makes sports compelling, the baseball draft might be the best place to look for capriciousness. This book explores the intricate uncertainties of the draft and the people who face it. The authors tell the stories of players drafted in the first round between 1990 and 2006, a period marked by the rise of “superagents” and Latin American talent.
