We continue to talk more 2006, because there is so much to talk about. This season the Indians went from a solid starting second baseman and a young backup to having to acquire Josh Barfield, Luis Valbuena, and Mark Derosa all in an attempt to find the answer, which they would not find until Jason Kipnis. They would keep compounding their errors and finding no answer as they watched Brandon Phillips blossom in state. We look at the 2006 draft where the Indians had 6 picks in the top 101 and ended up with virtually nothing to show for it. They would go on to later acquire many, many players from that class in trades and free agency. While they did get two solid players in day three, the one future star talent they drafted would be used in a trade for a second baseman along with the only player they go when they traded future star Brandon Phillips to the Reds.
