Here are the players with the most career runs created for each round of the player draft. (The player draft started in 1965.) This list is being presented as is. It is not intended to be the best hitters from each round. There are certainly too many other factors to consider to create such a list. I am including the links if you want to draw your own conclusions.
Today we'll start with rounds 1-10.
1st Round: Barry Bonds 2892, Rafael Palmeiro 2040, Frank Thomas 2003, Ken Griffey 1934, Gary Sheffield 1901
2nd Round: George Brett 1878 Mike Schmidt 1757 Cal Ripken 1729 Jason Giambi 1476 Alan Trammell 1255
3rd Round: Eddie Murray 1941 Tony Gwynn 1636 John Olerud 1455 Tim Salmon 1206 Gary Carter 1184
4th Round: Rickey Henderson 2164 Jeff Bagwell 1788 Luis Gonzalez 1641 Graig Nettles 1265 Paul O'Neill 1241
5th Round: Tim Raines 1636 Dwight Evans 1612 Lou Whitaker 1395 Ray Durham 1177 Amos Otis 1114
6th Round: Hal McRae 1136 Cecil Cooper 1134 Sal Bando 1069 Devon White 1022 5 Eric Karros 935
7th Round: Wade Boggs 1750 Darrell Evans 1499 Jim Edmonds 1364 Willie Randolph 1139 Reggie Sanders 1060
8th Round: Eric Davis 985 Ron Belliard 655 Al Martin 652 Hal Morris 622 Jody Reed 572
9th Round: Fred McGriff 1704 Steve Sax 848 Mark McLemore 797 Bill Russell 757 Jesse Barfield 752
10th Round: Brady Anderson 1118 Mike Sweeney 867 Rusty Greer 731 Vince Coleman 688 Frank Catalanotto 598

Here's an interesting list via Baseball-Reference.com's Play Index Post-Season Pitching Game Finder -
It's the most post-season starts in a career where the starter went 5 innings or less and allowed 5 earned runs or more in those outings. (Guys with 3 or more games like this are shown.)

Crawford joins Jeter and Grissom as the only guys ever to go 5-for-5 in a post-season game.
He also has set the record for most total bases in a post-season game without a homer. With 2 doubles, a triple, and 2 singles, that's 9 total bases.
Here were the previous record holders, with 8 total bases:

Alou, McGriff, Sanders, Vaughn, Jones...some great players there.
And here is a game where Foster not only got the win but also hit a homer.
Of course I did not know Foster personally, but I remember when he came up with the Phillies. He smiled a lot and always seemed like a happy guy. Rest in peace.
