2008

Wieters was regarded as the best position player in last year's draft and possibly the best college catcher in recent memory, combining good defense, a high average, and good power. The Orioles got him with the fifth overall pick because the top four teams were scared away by his bonus demands and his agent, Scott Boras. Indeed, the O's wound up giving Wieters a record signing bonus, inking him too late to play last season, but he did have a solid debut in Hawaii over the winter.
