One of my favorite debates to have is the what if... debate. What if the Hawks had taken Chris Paul instead of Marvin Williams or Brandon Roy instead of Sheldon Williams. Or, what if the Braves had actually signed Bonds. Or the Tigers had never traded Smoltz.
This morning I came across this article. It goes through the entire 1999 baseball draft with the Kansas City Royals. The article talks about who the Royals took with each pick, and then who was the best player available (knowing what we know now). If you make it to the end of the article you can't help but feel bad for anyone who is a KC fan.
