Not awful, IMO. Obviously, its dependent upon who they nab with over-slot money with their next two selections. Dozier is a college bat (could move quickly), and we all know that getting someone to solidify ANY infield position with this club is pretty important right now.

If nobody falls due to signability, this will be a bad move. For this to work, we need at least 1 or 2 guys where everyone is going "holy crap, this guy is falling because of money". Well, we've got plenty of money now.

So you reach on a guy ranked in the 40's with the 8th pick? **** that strategy/

We didn't invent it, last year was the first year you could try it, and several teams did. Its still early to judge the 2012 draft, but a lot of people thought it was a clever move.

No other team has reached yet.

Baseball drafts are a complete crapshoot. There's nothing to get upset about.

Not because they drafted Frazier, no. The rest of their stupid moves over the years? Sure.
