1st round of 1958 Amateur Draft:

1. Tigers: Frankie Frisch, 2B/3B
2. Indians: Tony Phillips, 2B/SS
3. Phillies: Lee Lacy, 2B
4. Red Sox: Roger McDowell, RHP
5. Cardinals: Willie Aikens, 1B
6. Dodgers: Larry Benton, RHP
7. Redlegs: Red Kress, SS
8. Athletics: Marty Pattin, RHP
9. Senators: Jack Cronin, RHP
10. Orioles: Mule Haas, 1B/OF
11. Giants: Ray Kolp, RHP
12. Tigers: Joe Oliver, C
13. Redlegs: Toad Ramsey, LHP
14. Cubs: Dennis Bennett, LHP
15. Yankees: Al McCauley, 1B/RF
16. Dodgers: Ron D Jackson, 3B/LF

The Detroit Tigers also selected Jim Leyritz C/IF/OF, Dae-Sung Koo LHP, Chin-hui Tsao RHP, Ed Fernandes C, and Jim Bailey LHP. The Tigers may have hit the jackpot with this draft. Before he turned the HoF into a personal playground for him and his buddies, Frankie Frisch was a great 2B with the Giants and Cardinals. The rest of the guys are kind of fodder, but Frisch is the kind of talent you want to get when you're looking to kickstart a rebuild and you have the number one overall pick.

Dae-Sung Koo is the Spritzeified version brought in at age 21 (instead of 35) to see what might have happened had he come straight from Hanyang University in South Korea into North American professional baseball. We'll see what happens there. Always enjoy the what ifs. I will do it with Ichiro (although in his case I'll bring him straight out of high school because that's what he did over in Japan) too when his time comes to see if he can chase down Shoeless Joe Jackson who currently holds the all-time Hits record in my alternate universe with 4,118.
