When Albert Pujols Debuted, These Guys Were Eight

It’s a prospect steel-cage match tonight, with the #2 overall pick in 2010, Jameson Taillon, making his first professional start against the #1 overall pick, Bryce Harper. It’s reported that the Pirates scouts were so enamored of Taillon, they would have made him the #1 pick over Harper.
