Not trying to take sides or split hairs but both of this year's ROY's came from the 2006 draft and were selected after Colvin.. Bailey and Coughlan both...

But they weren't taken in the first round, which was my point. However, it actually COMPLETELY proves my point as Coghlan was a supplemental first rounder (which means EVERY team passed on him), and Bailey was a 6th rounder, which means there was 187 "absurd" picks taken in front of him. Furthermore, neither of these guys were considered top 5 prospects on their own team, let alone in their respective leagues, going into this year, so KB's write off of Vitters as a "mistake" before he is old enough to drink is in itself absurd. Weiters is definitly a better prospect than Vitters right now, but again, he is 3 years older than Vitters. Let's see what happens before we stick a fork in him
