In defense of this draft pick, I think we all knew the low floor was a risk. But with the #5 pick, the decision to draft a kid built like a football player with the potential to be a 40-40 player with elite defense was the smart move.
The ceiling was too great to pass on. And it isn't like it was a shock pick. He was drafted for his ceiling, not his probability of making it to the MLB.
I'm not closing the book on him quite yet, but I am worried. I almost wonder if they need to put him on the phantom injury list and send him to Florida to reset. This is just sad.
