Kory Casto? What the...

[Fishercat]

OK, I was looking at his player history, look at this

Drafted in 5th round, 139th overall pick, by Philadelphia in 2003...
Injured on 6/17/2006 with a Pinched Nerve Neck, out for 6 days...
Traded from Philadelphia to Detroit on 2/28/2007 (Going to Phi: SS D. Klassen. Going to Det: P J. Wedel, RF K. Casto)...
Injured on 7/13/2007 with a Pulled Hip Muscle, out for one week...
Released by Detroit on 1/29/2010...
Drafted in 1st round, 26th overall pick, by Philadelphia in 2010...
Had first career hit on 4/3/2011, off Mark Buehrle (NYM)...
Hit first career homerun on 4/26/2011, off Lamar Heroux (ChC)...

Now, what looks weird there? HE WAS DRAFTED TWICE. Both times by the Phillies.

He was drafted in 2003, traded to Detorit in 2007, released in 2010, and DRAFTED AGAIN IN 2010? What the flip? What did I miss while I was gone, how did I draft a 28 year old free agent OF?

sometimes a player will be reentered into the draft after so many years if they dont make it to the pros. They usually suck really bad in that case.

[McKain]

Bwaha.

Yeah, that's what it is.

Still, bwaha @ him being taken in the first round

[Fishercat]

At least it was late Round 1, mwahaha. Well, he's in the major leagues now for absolutely no good reason other than to be the Jeremy Giambi (sans power) on the Phillies.

Shitty draft rule. I should just dump my whole farm system into the draft pool, like all the 28 year old 1.0 players, and see who gets who.

[Saber]

Yeah, we all had a good laugh about the Phillies picking him up.

[Slyder]

its one of the reason i take such care to try and be ahead of schedule when it comes to my picks. Nothing would make me madder than get some old fart who stinks while other teams get younger better spects.

If he only spelled his name with a C, he would have been something in life....


Yep.
