2008 - Amateur Draft
The 2008 Amateur Draft was held using prominent celebrities that were born in 1964. The draft order was not based on anything but divisional alignment since there was no 2007 simulation
Draft
1. Baltimore Orioles - Eddie Vedder (SS/Lead Singer of Pearl Jam) - Solid pick here, looking for the next Ripken. He is a defensive wizard
2. Binghamton Boars - Blair Underwood (LF/Actor) - surprising pick here for someone that might be a 5 tool player.
3. Boston Red Sox - Jim Rome (1B/Talk Show Host) - odd to see this LA character out in Fenway
4. New York Yankees - Maynard Keenan (CF/Lead Singer of Tool) - Steinbrenner is alright upset with Keenan who wants to play in his underwear instead of full uniform.
5. Tampa Bay Rays - Keanu Reaves (3B/Actor) - Interesting pick, sometimes lacks focus according to scouts
6. Toronto Blue Jays - Rob Lowe (C/Actor) - some might say he is a bit ginger, but the Jays took a chance on him with expectation of moving Ianetta to another position.
7. Chicago White Sox - Don Cheadle (RF/Actor) - calm player who is a safe bet for production
8. Cleveland Indians - Anthony Delon - (2B/Actor) - most would say they picked this player way too early
9. Detroit Tigers - Clive Owen (RF/Actor) - decent pick out of the UK
10. Kansas City Royals - Nicolas Cage (1B/Actor) - he slipped in the draft, some questioned his heart
11. London Monarchs - David Spaide (SS/Actor) - he doesn't have much of a stick
12. Minnesota Twins - Stephen Colbert (RF/Comic) - questionable pick
13. Paris Heartbreakers - John Salley (P/Basketball) - can throw hard
