PAUL LeCROY / SP
SEASON 1 - #1 PICK
Drafted: Philadelphia / Current: Philadelphia (ML)
S5 Stats: 9-3, 3.42 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, 123 K in 144.2 IP
The 22-year old has the prestigious title of being the world's very first #1 overall pick. After an impressive 42-11 overall record while in the minors, LeCroy finally tasted the majors in Season 4, where he won 15 games and sported an impressive 3.47 ERA. He finally came into his own in Season 5, where he'll be going to the All-Star game for the first time.

BILL BARKLEY / LF
SEASON 2 - #1 PICK
Drafted: Hartford (Rochester) / Current: Salem (AA)
S5 Stats: .284 AVG, 30 HR, 106 RBI, 104 RUNS
Barkley was dealt to Salem this past offseason from the Rochester franchise (then located in Hartford when drafted) to help bolster their farm system. Barkley is the complete package. Speed, power, and hits for average. It won't be too long before Barkley will be wreaking havoc up in the Majors.

DENNY GASTON / 3B
SEASON 3 - #1 PICK
Drafted: Burlington (Minnesota) / Current: Salem (AA)
S5 Stats: .347 AVG, 26 HR, 94 RBI, 101 RUNS
Gaston was the main part of the deal that helped send Rudy Dingman over to Minnesota. Gaston is another athletic specimen who can pretty much do it all on the field. It's not everyday a stud SP gets traded, but when you get a guy like Gaston back in return, it makes the decision a little easier to swallow. Expect Gaston on the AL All-Star team for years to come.

TOMAS SANCHEZ / SP
SEASON 4 - #1 PICK
Drafted: Louisville (New York) / Current: New York (Low A)
S5 Stats: 12-2, 2.41 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, 104 K in 108.1 IP
Sanchez is an impressive SP who's especially strong against righties. He has dominated ever since first stepping foot in the minors. He will be a mainstay in the New York starting rotation when he's finally ready. So in the meantime, he'll continue to dominate in the minors to kill time.

COOKIE FOX / RF
SEASON 5 - #1 PICK
Drafted: Austin / Current: Austin (NA)
S5 Stats: NO STATS AVAILABLE
Cookie could be the very first #1 overall pick in world history who refuses to sign. With an asking price of over $8M, it's going to be difficult to meet his demands. If Fox signs, then Austin will have one hell of a player for years to come. If not, then Austin will try again next season with the same pick.
