like I said, the right pick was obvious <b>at the time</b>.
And considering that Weiters got almost twice the bonus as Vitters, you'd have to say it was obvious to most baseball guys too.
I think sometimes that Wilken tries to overthink it. The Colvin pick sounds like somebody trying to hit a 500ft homer, when a nice, safe bunt single woulda won the game.
And instead, we got a strike-out.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I've got to go home, but one last post.
-See my previous post as to how "obvious" it was at the time.
-I don't think Wieters is consided a good fielding catcher, but I could be wrong
-The bonus demands were in part because of his agent.
-Wilken wanted Lincecum, but he went 2 picks before Colvin
-The book on Colvin is not finished.

I wish that I believed in Fate. I wish I didn't sleep so late. I used to be carried in the arms of cheerleaders.
