Not Quite
A fellow baseball blog, Inside the Ballpark, posted its 10 biggest major league amateur draft busts recently and rated pitcher Paul Wilson No. 6 with this reasoning:
"For a school that is so rich in baseball tradition like Florida State, it’s probably not good to know that the only Seminole player to ever be drafted number one overall in the amateur draft is Paul Wilson. However, FSU is hoping Buster Posey goes number one to the Rays to break that streak. Anyway, Wilson was taken number one overall by the Mets in 1994. He made it through only one big league season with the Mets and posted a 5-12 record on the hill before being traded to Tampa Bay for Bubba Trammell and Rick White. Wilson did last seven seasons in the big leagues and collected 40 wins, but again, not enough from a number one overall pick."
This isn't the Paul Wilson who was late-season pickup by Outlaws last season and a member of the bullpen during the GBL championship series win. That Paul Wilson was with the St. George RoadRunners until earlier this month, when he was released by the Outlaws' Utah counterpart.
By the way, Happy Paul Wilson Day everyone...
