In the first round, Boston passes on a young Ted Williams to pick up Pedro Martinez. Williams slides to second and goes home to San Diego. Possibly a bad move for Boston as SP is the draft's deepest position. Rogers Hornsby and Bob Gibson go 3-4 before Hurricane Hazle and Ken Griffey Jr. along with Colavito, followed by a shocker in Earl Hamilton, who is only rated 8, but has great talent and is only 22 years of age.

Howie Camnitz, a projected first round pick, slips to 13th overall at Florida, as another run on outfielders and pitchers follows. Seattle picks Randy Johnson in the fourth round, which could very well be a steal. The entire 1971 Baltimore Orioles rotation is picked between 32-36 picks with Foghorn Bradley sneaking in between. Everybody grabs a closer in rounds 5-6, with Wagner, Hernandez, Eckersley, and Beck leaving the board. A shocker in round 7 is that Chris Speier becomes the first SS selected instead of Hall of Famer Dave Bancroft. Hall of Famer Eddie Collins, 21 years young, falls to San Francisco in round 8, teaming up with David Justice, Bancroft, and Wade Boggs in a strong infield. George Brett falls to the 10th round, along with Paul Molitor, and Baby Doll Jacobson goes in the 11th. A/A/A/A rated second baseman Arlie Latham may be the steal of the 12th round. Outfielder Rob Deer falls to the 14th round and San Francisco. First Baseman Steve Garvey may be used as a backup in San Fran, but he may be another steal. Once again the Giants make news in the 21st, picking Dave Kingman as their 5th first baseman, though they still lack a catcher.
