1996 Major League Draft

Here is the first round of the 1996 Major League Baseball draft. 

The sixth pitcher taken (Matt White) somehow managed a $10,200,000 signing bonus - by far the largest of all time - out of the Giants. He made it to Triple A - with the Devil Rays - before arm trouble sent him back to A ball after a year off.
