7th round pick a “wasted pick” and less than a year into their career. Never change soxtalk.

There's people still learning about drafting/prospects/patience. 

 

Oh and Cease... ?

His bat was supposed to be where the value was

No, the power was supposed to be his value. You can't think that a guy who was one strikeout away from the NCAA single season record had a good hit tool. We knew it was going to be something that we were going to have to work on and really undo a year or more of bad habits he got into. But with his power potential it was worth it.

Yes 100%

It was a flyer he could translate his power and that trait was certainly one of the most interesting ones left.

But he’s a flyer that needs to overcome a lot of swing and miss. But if he does, (see power above)

Sounds like you're describing Keon Barnum there...but a 7th round draft pick failing isn't a huge deal in the overall scheme of things, it's more the 1st through 3rd and maybe 4th/5th rounders you should be most critical of (depending on whether they're under or oversigns.)

There is 1 reason he was drafted as high as the 7th round and that is the value his bat could potentially provide while playing subpar defense. I don't see what the argument is
