Neither has been able to deliver, for different reasons: Profar last played in the big leagues in 2013, and has been slowed by an unending stream of injuries; Andrus, while now a perfectly serviceable regular, is hardly the star the Rangers thought they were getting when they signed him to an eight-year, $118 million extension three years ago.
But there is one constant through the years: The last pick rarely makes a dent in his team's record, with most Mr. Irrelevants spending the bulk of their careers in obscurity on the bench or ending up in the C.F.L.

Irlam, by Gracie—you must call me Gracie, she said—as if it was that weird and serviceable gadget, with its nocturnal glow, its muted morning bubbling, and its mere presence by day, that kept me holding on to life at a time when I felt a deep sense of isolation in which I might well have become completely submerged.
