No pitcher taken #1 in the draft has ever won 20 games |

So, why would any team take a pitcher as their number one overall. Don't read this wrong. Plenty of pitchers taken in the first round have won 20 games, but no pitcher taken #1 overall has ever won 20 games. Just food for thought

1. The other side of that equation is that... |
|
It is due time for a pitcher drafted #1 to (once they come up through the ranks) become a 20 game winner.
Since baseball and pitching strategy has changed so much in the past 15 years or so, 20 game winners have become increasingly rare.

2. Another way to look at it: |

Five guys who each win 16 comes out the same as four guys who each win 20.

and in cases like this, you just want the best player available (and KC needs a lot of them)
