This shows the real lack of quality players plucked out of College Free agency.

Andy Greene, Tyler Bozak, Matt Read and Teddy Purcell are the best of the bunch by far.

It is amazing to me that people are getting so upset about missing out on these "gems" due to not having enough contract spots. The most recent example is signing Danny Taylor and moving to 48 contracts. It is a great way to supplement drafting, but should not be seen as somehow "handcuffing" the organization.
