Phils' recent draft history

Posted: June 05, 2012

IN THE 10 drafts since the Phillies selected Cole Hamels, including this year, they have been without a true first-round pick five times. The Phillies' first pick will come in the compensatory round for the second consecutive year when they make their initial selection Monday night at No. 40 overall. While the Phillies might have had a few misses, many of their high picks have panned out for other teams after being used to pull off trades for Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee, Brad Lidge and others. Here is a look at the Phillies' top pick in each of the drafts since Hamels and how he fared.
