Speaking of Wright, he was taken in the 1902 Amateur Draft, which was chock full of great players. It's one of the deepest non-Inaugural Drafts I've ever seen. Here's the first round:

1. Ted Williams, CWS
2. Ivan Rodriguez, CIN
3. David Wright, BSN
4. George J Burns, PHI
5. Mike Morgan, SLA
6. Terry Kennedy, CLE
7. Harry Coveleski, PIT
8. Joe Benz, CHC
9. Trevor Bauer, WS1
10. Eduardo Rodriguez, DET
11. Monte Cross, BOS
12. Mike V Gonzalez, PHA
13. Joe Stripp, BRO
14. Austin McHenry, NY1
15. Dave Wickersham, STL
16. Bill Castro, BLA

Put it this way, the first overall pick in 1901 (catcher Johnny Bassler) would've gone 6th overall in this draft using my system. In 1903 that was Bret Saberhagen, who would've gone 3rd overall, and he was a fantastic pitcher. #2 Kelly Gruber would've gone 9th. Crazy sauce.
Speaking of Kelly Gruber, he's also a 3B and a Beaneater, so they have two trade chips at that position now. Holy moly. They could completely transform their team by trading Bradley and Gruber in separate deals, and keeping Wright. Nuts.
