1978 Major League Draft

Here is the first round of the 1978 Major League Baseball draft. 

Horner, Mike Morgan, Tim Conroy and seventh rounder Brian Milner all debuted in the majors without having played in the minors (complete list). Milner was the lowest pick to ever do so and hit .444 for the expansion Blue Jays in 1978. The 18 year old played in two major league games before heading to the minors never to emerge again. This means that although he is younger than Rickey Henderson, his major league career was over before Henderson's even started. (Can you tell I'm a fan of Jayson Stark's Useless Info column?)
