1992 First Year Player Draft

Here are the first five rounds of picks for the team.

3B Scott Rolen – (1^st, 5^th overall)
OF Billy McMillon – (3^rd, 76^th overall)
C Julio Zuleta – (3^rd, 79^th overall)
P Billy Wagner - ( 4^th, 108 overall)
OF Willie Romero – (5^th, 136 overall)

I guess out of those five, if they can find a couple of players who can stick around and contribute it'll be ok, but I have to believe that drafting as high as we did, that there should have been more depth there.

Rule 5 Draft

In what has to be the oddest pick in Dodger history. The Dodgers select IF Rick Parker. If this sounds familiar it's because Parker was with the Dodgers last season. He got hurt at the end of training camp and spent well over half the season on the DL. When he did come back be was sent to Albuquerque, but he still managed 5 games for the Dodgers. He left via free agency and signed a deal with the expansion Marlins. Left unprotected, LA drafted him back. Now he has to remain on the main roster all season, or he returns to the Marlins. Given his history, you might think that seems slim, however LA is pretty weak having lost both Caminiti and Smith on the left side of the diamond. Could Parker earn a spot as a super utility guy? Maybe?
