2004 Draft: Where are they now?
2005-06-02 10:06
by Ken Arneson

The draft is coming up on Tuesday. Mychael Urban has an A's draft preview on MLB.com. John Sickels is running a mock draft on Sunday.

Baseball America is also kicking into high gear. Here's their free stuff:

Looking back at last year's draft, Huston Street alone makes it a good one. As far as everyone else, it's still too early to tell. No one else has rocketed up the system like Street. On the other hand, the only early round pick who has struggled badly is Michael Rogers, although Landon Powell's knee injury puts a big question mark on his long-term prospects as a catcher.

Here's where the 2004 draftees are now. Some of them were signed and played last year in short-season ball; if they're not playing now, I'm assuming they're there still:
