It was a disappointing strategy to me.

The pick I really hated was Philip at 60. I still don't get drafting him at all.
The baseball draft, as much as any draft is a dart throw. You know that.

You just seem to have an axe to grind as much as anyone on this FO. It shows. And that's fine, but overall they have done an excellent job.
