You say that now. Look at the scouting reports I put up earlier. There were plenty of people that thought Vitters was a better prospect than Wieters. One was the best high school hitter, and one was the best college hitter. Wieters could end up better, but you simply can't say the Cubs decided NOT to take the "best guy available", when at the time they easily could have thought Vitters WAS the best guy available.

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.
