Looking back 10 years later, scouts were correct about the 2011 group. The first 29 players selected and 30 of 33 first-rounders have played in the Majors, including Gerrit Cole, Francisco Lindor, Anthony Rendon and George Springer. The two biggest gems didn t even go in the first round fifth-rounder Mookie Betts and supplemental first-rounder Trevor Story and by the time all is said and done, 2011 could rank among the five best Draft years ever.
