Best Player From Draft Class: Alex RodriguezÂ
The Mariners picked the right player in 1993, and there is no argument to be made otherwise. Despite his PED suspension and all the questions that come with it, Alex Rodriguez is an all-time player and one of the icons of his era. 3,115 career hits, 696 home runs, three MVPs, a World Series title with the Yankees…A-Rod was a sensational talent.
While All-Stars such as Billy Wagner, Torii Hunter, Derrek Lee, Chris Carpenter, and Scott Rolen were also selected in this draft, none of them come close to A-Rod. Steroids or not, Rodriguez was born to be a star.
