Of those, only three of them would eventually play Major League baseball. They lost their first round pick this year to the Atlanta Braves as a result of their signing free agent pitcher Andy Ashby. The second round pick was right-handed pitcher Billy Pilkington from Santiago High School in Garden Grove, California. He played four seasons in the minors and had a record of 30-21 and a 3.67 ERA in 19 games (17 starts) before he was released. This years draft class was so bad that only four players in the top 20 picks even reached AAA. The only player that made the Majors for more than a cameo appearance was Edwin Jackson, selected in the sixth round as an outfielder out of Shaw High School in Columbus, Georgia. He was converted to a pitcher and made it to the Majors in 2003 with the Dodgers and was then traded in 2006. He was a 2009 All-Star with the Detroit Tigers and also pitched a no-hitter in 2010 while a member of the Arizona Diamondbacks. 2001 draft picksRoundNamePositionSchoolSignedCareer spanHighest level 2Billy PilkingtonRHPSantiago High SchoolYes2001–2005AA3David TaylorRHP South Lake High SchoolYes2001Rookie4Kole StrayhornRHPShawnee High SchoolYes2002–2006 AA5Steve NelsonRHPCole Harbour District High SchoolYes2001–2005A+6Edwin JacksonOFShaw High SchoolYes2001–2021MLB7David CuenLHPCibola High SchoolYes2001–2005A8Dave CardonaOFColegio San José High SchoolYes2001–2010 A+9Sean PierceOFSan Diego State UniversityYes2002–2003A+10Thom OttRHPUniversity of Nebraska at LincolnYes 2001–2003 A11Luis GonzalezLHPFlorida Air Academy High SchoolYes2001–2011 NPB12Cedric BensonOFRobert E.
