Phil Irwin made two starts (one with the Pirates). Not sure why he never got another chance.
Dodson, Von Rosenberg, and Cain were highly recruited players. Stevenson was a college pitcher. I thought they were good picks at the time based on their recruiting from major colleges.
The 1st pick was a big Q (and ultimately a fail) but I really liked that draft. But not one player made the Pirates roster. How did the Pirates build such a deep farm system with a totally lost year?!
2009 probably isn't going to impact the system much right now. All those guys should be graduated or gone by now. The depth in the system largely comes from 2011, 2013-15.
