With the Orioles poised to make what might be the most important pick in team history, we decided to revisit some of the tougher selections in Orioles history and what they missed out on. Reminder: We recognize that the Orioles have made a number of very good first-round picks throughout the years, and we know we could perform this exercise with almost any MLB team. We're just having fun. Or perhaps it's more appropriate to say we're having "fun."
Given that the MLB First-Year Player Draft is even more of a crapshoot than the NFL's version, we only considered actual first-round picks, not compensatory or competitive-balance selections. This all dates back to the last time the Orioles had the first overall selection (1989).
Here are "The 15 Orioles Draft Do-Overs."
