2011 - Lost: No one; Gained: No one

So, in the last 10 years we lost FIVE guys who wound up staying with the club who drafted them.   THREE of them have had successful ML careers so far and the others were just in their first year in the majors this year.

Each and every one of those years we haggled about 1-2, maybe 3 players who were targets and I was seldom correct (except for Hector Rondon).   Still, that's the point.  It was 1-2 players who we thought might have a chance to be drafted.   Depending on how the 40-man roster situation plays out, we could be looking at 8-10 prospects and most of them will be better than any prospect who we lost in this draft in the last 10 years.
