Judge wasn't even the Yankees's first pick in that draft. He wasn't highly-regarded.

He wasn't highly regarded? He was a first round pick!

I was high on him really early- but when drafted the talk was like a 30% chance of being Richie Sexson- and most likely a bust like so many tall power hitters (that is a profile with an absolute ton of bust).

Richie Sexson, The Legend of Brush Prairie!

Not gonna lie, I love if 30% of my 1st round picks turned out as good as Richie Sexson.
