What works against Gio, I think, is that he isn't doing anything different with the bat at Omaha. It's the same stuff he has shown each of the past two seasons there.
He has struggled mightily at the plate when called up in both seasons. And his glovework is still not even "good."
They've never really given him protracted playing time at 2B, but he also hasn't MADE them when given a chance. I love the idea of the guy, but it's possible he's just a AAAA player.
Colon is off to a horrendous start. The way he ended his season last year gave me some hope, but he has dashed all of that.
Colon is the worst pick of Moore's tenure. What makes it worse is that this pick flies in the face of everything Moore has done in the draft in the past/his normal strategy.
