In response to "Granderson was in that draft...Votto was a 2nd round pick....it's legitimately one of the top 3 drafts in talent (behind 2005's)" by Will Hunting

If conventional scouting had pegged those guys, they wouldn't have gone sooner.

A draft wherein four of the top five picks never make the majors is obviously not high in talent. That's just common sense. What you're selling isn't worth buying.

    - McCann, Granderson, Votto, Jon Lester..... - Will Hunting Jun 17, 11:11
    - You're so silly when you get unreasonably hyperbolic. - David Jun 17, 11:10 2
