Bowden picked Detwiler with the 6th overall pick in the 2007 draft.
Here’s a short list of 1st round players drafted after Detwiler that we didn’t pick in order to pick him out of a noname division III college:
– Matt LaPorta
– Madison Bumgarner
– Rick Porcello
aaaaaand.
– Jason Heywood
(I realize this is grossly unfair, that all these guys were high school long shots and that Porcello was asking for upper 1st round money and fell because of it. But still).
