Revisiting #1 Draft Picks (1989-1998)

http://morehardball.blogspot.com/2009/04/revisitin-1-picks-in-draft-1989-1998.html

Major League Baseball doesn't have it's own amateur draft hype-man like the NFL's Mel Kiper, but there are plenty of scouts signing the praises of young phenom pitcher Stephen Strasburg. He's projected to go to the Washington Nationals with the first overall pick in this year's MLB draft, and that inspired me to take a look back on past #1 picks. Last week I focused on the past 10 years of 1999-2008, and today I jump back in time like Marty McFly and check out the 10 years prior to that (1989-1998).
