As part of the original post
Is this the first time a team has had five of their own 1st-round draft picks on its major league roster? If not, and Moose later comes up without any of the above going down, will it be the first time a team had six?

My first guess would be the Braves at some point
But looking at their drafts, they really did bust in the first round a lot.

OK, I'm embarrassed
For some reason I didn’t imagine that just looking at this year’s and last year’s rosters I’d be able to find numerous examples. I thought it would take some serious data-mining or trivia-memory.

Just missing
2002 – Zack Greinke
2003 – Mitchell Myer (Catcher) – this one made me chuckle a bit
2004 – Chris Lubanski
Is Mike McDougal still available (1999)?
Yeah, you forgot Mitch Maier

Chairman, The Melky Cabrera Seasoning Sauce. It's great on your outfield!
Didn't realize we had 2 1st-rounders that year
I knew Lubanski was picked in the 1st round of 2003 by the Royals; I thought he was the only one. Who did we get that pick for – Paul Byrd?

Who was our 2007 draft pick?
