2004 MLB Draft Mulligan 26-30
Original Picks
26 Richard Robnett Oakland Athletics CF Fresno State University
27 Taylor Tankersley Florida Marlins LHP University of Alabama
28 Blake DeWitt Los Angeles Dodgers 2B Sikeston High School (MO)
29 Matthew Campbell Kansas City Royals LHP University of South Carolina
30 Eric Hurley Texas Rangers RHP Samuel W. Wolfson High School (FL)
New Picks
26 Oakland Athletics - Billy Butler - OF/1B - Powerful hitter would benefit from A’s system of teaching hitting.
27 Florida Marlins - Nick Hagadone - LHP - Mid 90’s lefty would make a mean combination with Andrew Miller some years down the line.
28 Los Angeles Dodgers - Blake DeWitt - 2B - LA seems pleased with DeWitt’s development.
29 Kansas City Royals - Jake Arrieta - RHP - Arrieta looks like a potential star and certainly shows more promise than Matthew Campbell.
30 Texas Rangers - Kyle Blanks - 1B - It might be overkill to have Blanks but Texas loves its 1B/DH mashers.
