Once again, a reason for why you don't draft pitchers high.  Or at least why you lean towards position players.  Could have been us had he fallen.  Next up, Rodon.

Yep, the meatballs screaming about us not adding more young pitchers either via the 1st round of the draft or via trade should be humbled by this, but they will just ignore it as usual.

Every one named Jeff Gordon is a tool.  This one says the best way to build an organization is by drafting and developing injury prone pitchers and replacing them with more injury prone pitchers.  Or at least that was my take away.  No mention on the over use of HGH to turn middling infielders into power bats.
