The last 6 drafts have seen the following Major Leaguers:
Homer Bailey(2004)
Jay Bruce(2005)
Sam Lecure(2005)
Carlos Fisher(2005)
Adam Rosales(2005)
Logan Ondrusek(2005)
Drew Stubbs(2006)
Chris Heisey(2006)
Josh Roenicke(2006)
Mike Leake(2009)

That's four first round picks who have made at least a decent impact on the big league team.
The other two first rounders are Mesarosco(who was expected to take at least 4-5 years and seems to be coming around) and Alonso.

Also, that 2005 draft was unreal, Bruce, Wood, and four other major leaguers?
