Drafted at pick# 2 in 1983 draft by the Baltimore Orioles. The White Sox with their 2 first round picks, including the one for not signing Kershaw once again recognized potential greatness by drafting SP Carl Hubbell (#5) and SP Juan Marichal (#6).

Pick #5 - Feller: 237.1 IP in 35 Games/35 Games started
10-18 record with a 4.17 ERA giving up 194 BBs (tops in AL) and striking out 270 (10 games of 10+ strikeouts), led the AL in K/9 with 10.24. He threw one 2-hitter.
WHIP: 1.65
ERA+: 108
WAR: 3.2
Team improved by 8 wins.
Awards: Selected to All-Star Game

Awards: Selected to All-Star team; Platinum Bat in LF; Gold Glove in LF
Team improved by 7 games

Pick #9 - Clemens: 280 IP in 36 Games/36 Games started

WHIP: 1.20
ERA+ 145
WAR: 4.0
Team improved by 9 games.
No awards.

And as for what my "genius" owner and GM decided to do...they drafted C/LF Carlos Delgado...but we already have a young Gary Carter behind the plate and our outfield is overflowing with young players.

Who did our GM/owner pass up? Jim Thome; 373 game winner Pete Alexander; and real life Cy Young award winner and Rookie of the Year Don Newcombe.
