To add a different perspective, if this were the NBA you could totally add a Robert Horry or Steve Kerr and assume that a good percentage of the time they can make that last shot. You can pay a guy to be clutch here. You know what you're getting.
You can do the same thing with the NFL and add a Vinatieri or Elam--both paid to be clutch.
But baseball doesn't work that way, and it's a bad bad bad philosophy for a GM to take.

If Angelo had picked McClellin, I would have been expecting to hear by training camp that kid has stage 4 cancer, is actually 5'2" 142 lbs, is a chick who played in a 7 - 0 defensive scheme who only rotated in on downs which were 3 and 34 yds + so is not expecting to play a down in the NFL until the sex change is complete and she puts on another 100 lbs. + but this is Emery's first pick so he'll get a pass with a bit of questioning. - 1060Ivy
