There's a world of difference between drafting someone right out of high school and drafting someone with a few years of college ball under their belts.
Anyway, Vitters will probably be pretty good (knock on wood), but you should never draft to fill a position on the field -- you just take the best guy available (which wasn't Vitters).
The draft that I'm really pissed about is still the Colvin pick. That was beyond moronic.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Yet another pick that <b>at the time</b> seemed incredibly stupid. Hard to imagine it didn't work out. Well, at least the Cards took Colby Rasmus with the following pick.
Nothing to see here folks, move along.

Rasmus is extremely overrated and actually kinda sucks, he and Colvin actually had very similar years last year, Colvin's may have even been better, but at AA instead of AAA. Look up the numbers.
