You said it yourself before, I guess before I could hear it, but now my dear we know.

It's like you said, sweet unknown.

Hello and welcome to episode 902 of Effectively Wild, the daily podcast from baseball

perspective presented by our Patreon supporters and the play index at baseballreference.com.

I'm Ben Lindbergh of 538, joined by Sam Miller at baseball perspective, Hello Sam.

Hello Ben.

Today is that special day of the year when we talk about players we just heard of, many

of whom we will never hear of again.

The best of whom will maybe hear of again in a few years.

And the worst of whom will hear from again.

Will we?

I feel like I maybe.

Yeah, I'm going to be here.

You just think of yourself.

Yeah, I could, like I could, I think I could name, there were 24 guys taken in front

of trout if you count a bridge aqua, you shouldn't, but you know, you would.

And I bet I could name 22 of them.

Yeah, that's true.

So yeah, these guys will always have a place in the record books as guys who were picked

before, whichever one of them turns out to be really good.

Yeah.

So they'll always have that.
