Of those, seven of them would eventually play Major League baseball. They lost their first round pick to the San Diego Padres and their third round pick to the Baltimore Orioles as a result of their signing free agent pitchers Kevin Brown and Alan Mills. They also gained a supplemental first round pick and a second round pick as compensation for losing pitcher Scott Radinsky to free agency and a supplemental second round pick as compensation for pitcher Brian Bohanon. The first round pick was shortstop Jason Repko from Hanford High School. He was transitioned to the outfield and played seven seasons in the majors (four with the Dodgers). He had several serious injuries in his career and was relegated primarily to a backup position. Repko hit .224 in 360 MLB games. The draft class also included outfielder Shane Victorino, who was drafted in the sixth round out of St. Anthony High School in Hawaii. He was selected by the Philadelphia Phillies in the 2004 Rule 5 draft and proceeded to become a two-time All-Star and two-time World Series champion. 1999 draft picksRoundNamePositionSchoolSignedCareer spanHighest level 1sJason RepkoSSHanford High SchoolYes1999–2016MLB2Brennan KingSSOakland High SchoolYes1999–2008AAA2sDrew MeyerSS Bishop England High SchoolNoRangers-20022002–2010MLB4Joe ThurstonSSSacramento City CollegeYes1999–2014 MLB5Phil DeveyLHPUniversity of Louisiana at LafayetteYes1999–2005AAA6Shane VictorinoOFSt. Anthony High SchoolYes1999–2015MLB7Jose EscaleraOFCarlos Escobar Lopez High SchoolYes1999–2002A8T.
