The 2006 Draft and Our Current Dearth of Quality Pitching

Part post/part vent.
How the fark did the Royals pick Luke Hochevar with the #1 pick in 2006 with all these other amazing players available. I know, I know it's a crapshoot but c'mon, why do we always miss on pitchers? Greinke the exception* post depression.
Evan Longoria? Pass. Brandon Morrow? Pass. Clayton Kershaw? Pass. Tim Lincecum? Pass. Max Scherzer? Pass. Ian Kennedy? Pass.
Fun is when your light hitting catcher can't throw runners out.

Well, at least he's better than Victor Martinez and they put up similar hitting numbers so there's that. Stats courtesy of espn.com

It's time for a new caption contest, the winner of which will get a full size poster of Tia Carrera with only minor edge wear and a few tears. I will start.
