Yeah unfortunately the last few drafts have not been particularly inspiring. The complete waste that was the '22 draft was particularly bad. How do you pick Ronni with your first pick (in the second round too) when you only have 3 total? Makes no sense. His ceiling was always a player archetype that you can find on waivers or free agency for cheap.

In 2015 and 16 they took swings on high upside players and several of them turned out. Get back to looking for homeruns and stop looking to fill perceived gaps in "player types" in the system or settling for low floor players who just "have a good chance to play."
