Tonight is the opening round of the 2009 MLB Draft, and thanks to Redleg2420 we have a great MLB Draft Preview. But as we approach this draft there is a lot of discussion regarding finding Major League talent to help this ball club. However, the MLB draft is completely different than the NBA or NFL draft. The fruits of this years draft may not be realized for some time, or even at all. The draft goes 50 rounds, so each year the Reds are able to draft 50 players so since 2000 the Reds have drafted roughly 400 players. Of those 400 only 16 have made it to the Majors. Below is a list of players who the Reds have drafted that have made it to the big show.
