But you win with Danny Espinosa and Drew Storen.
I'll chime in here. Espinosa was never a safe pick. He was regarded as guy with decent tools and a good background (Long Beach state SS). His signing bonus was 525,000. Compare that to Trevor Holder's 200,000 bonus. Drew Storen doesn't prove anything. In fact, you can win with any relief pitcher as the Nats are proving. Where did Tyler Clippard, Doug Slaten, Joel Peralta come from? Out of nowhere and they are producing similar to Storen. Sean Burnett was a failed starter and was moved to relief. Plenty of failed starters can become good relievers which is why drafting a relief pitcher that high is dumb unless you are guaranteed Mariano Rivera.
