1999 Los Angeles Dodgers season

The 1999 Los Angeles Dodgers season was the 110th for the franchise in Major League Baseball, and their 42nd season in Los Angeles, California. The season started with a new management team; Kevin Malone became the team's General Manager and Davey Johnson was selected to be the new Dodgers Manager. Looking to make a splash, Malone exclaimed "There is a new Sheriff in town"[1] as he took over the reins and made a splash by signing starting pitcher Kevin Brown to a huge long contract. However, the team struggled to a third-place finish in the National League West.

Major League Baseball Draft

edit
Main article: 1999 Major League Baseball Draft
 
Jason Repko

The Dodgers selected 50 players in this draft. Of those, seven of them would eventually play Major League baseball. They lost their first round pick to the San Diego Padres and their third round pick to the Baltimore Orioles as a result of their signing free agent pitchers Kevin Brown and Alan Mills. They also gained a supplemental first round pick and a second round pick as compensation for losing pitcher Scott Radinsky to free agency and a supplemental second round pick as compensation for pitcher Brian Bohanon.

The first round pick was shortstop Jason Repko from Hanford High School. He was transitioned to the outfield and played seven seasons in the majors (four with the Dodgers). He had several serious injuries in his career and was relegated primarily to a backup position. Repko hit .224 in 360 MLB games. The draft class also included outfielder Shane Victorino, who was drafted in the sixth round out of St. Anthony High School in Hawaii. He was selected by the Philadelphia Phillies in the 2004 Rule 5 draft and proceeded to become a two-time All-Star and two-time World Series champion.
