That sounds like real life if you ask me. Do you know how many first round draft picks never reach the major leagues? A lot. Just look at one draft log from 1995-2005 and you'll find dozens of guys you've never even heard of.
Where's the fun in prospects always panning out?
Furthermore, I don't know the exact round, but Albert Pujols was drafted around the 9th if I remember correctly.
