2013 1 paid Aaron Judge for Yankees. 2014. Cardinals Jack Flaherty. Red Sox And the uber frustrating Michael Kopech 2015. Braves Mike Sorotka Pirates KeBrayan Hayes Orioles Ryan Mountcastle 2016. Padres Eric Lauer Nationals Dane Dunning Dodgers Will Smith Cardinals Dylan Carlson and Dakota Hudson Nationals former top prospect Rookie Carter Kieboom 2017 Toronto Nate Pearson(#1 team prospect) 2018. Rays Shane Mclanahan Are Comp picks of note/positivity. Certainly potential to find a gem or at minimum use the draft slot to pay one. Trevor Story himself was the 45th overall pick in 2011. And he wasn't a gross over-slot signing, signing for only $915K. In theory, the Rockies could draft the next Trevor Story with the comp pick.
