Sucks about Duffy. Hopefully, he takes some time off, reevaluates, and comes back.
As for Porcello ... I have no problem with passing up a high school arm at No. 3 overall. The baseball draft is a crapshoot, but high school pitchers are the lowest percentage "hits" of any type of player you can draft.
Porcello wanted a $7 million major league contract out of high school. There's a reason he fell to 27. People forget that, I think.
In hindsight, it would be great to have Ryan Braun instead of Gordon, Tim Lincecum (though I still think "Lil Bitch" breaks down soon) instead of Hochevar, Jason Heyward instead of Moustakas, and Gordon Beckham instead of Hosmer.
But it's not like any of those players was a consensus "pick him, not him" guy...
