MLB News: First-Year Player Draft
Monday, November 1st, 1948
Cleveland, St. Louis, Pittsburgh, New York and Chicago have the opportunity to really make some organization-altering changes today. Their GMs have been huddled around the conference room all night, playing over scenarios with the scouting staff, arguing out the merits of every possible scenario they can fathom. Who they pick might set their clubs up for ten years of quality baseball or it might mean ten years of languishing as an also-ran. BNN experts have concluded that these ten young men should be picked at the top of the draft:


1. Pete Busby, 21 year-old 2B out of college.
2. Mario Abreu, 21 year-old SS out of college.
3. Toby Ramsey, 21 year-old 2B out of college.
4. Richie Dingman, 23 year-old SS out of college.
5. Ricardo Arenas, 18 year-old 3B out of high-school.
6. Allan Houston, 18 year-old 3B out of high-school.
7. David Acosta, 22 year-old LHP out of college.
8. Wayne Gibbs, 19 year-old LHP out of high-school.
