Best Names of Last Year’s MLB Draft

Soon we’ll be rounding up all the great names of this year’s MLB draft. As a teaser, here’s a small taste of some of the great names from the 2009 draft:

(Parentheses denote round drafted)
Michael Trout, CF, Anaheim (1)
Zachary “Slade” Heathcott, OF, NYY (1)
Bradley Boxberger, P, Cincinatti (2)
Kyle Heckathorn, P, Milwaukee (2)
Brooks Pounders, P, Pittsburgh (2)
Benjamin Tootle, P, Minnesota (4)
Seth Schwindenhammer, OF, Boston (5)
Michael Monster, SS, Cincinatti
Damien Magnifico, P, NYM
Sequoyah Stonecipher, OF, Florida

Not all of these players signed, so they may appear in this year’s draft as well. As of right now, we’re 8 rounds deep into the 2010 MLB draft, and the names have not disappointed.
