I think you are massively over-valuing MLB draft picks after the 3rd or 4th pick. They all fail at a spectacularly high rate. We passed up a guy who might have a 25-30% chance of being a good player, to hopefully pick up a few more 20%'ers during rounds when everyone else is drafting 10-15%'ers.

While his K rate is concerning, the rest of this post is just ignorant. They own this kid for the first six years of his MLB career. Once again, this isn't football where you can't take the time to develop a player. You have several years til you even have to include him on the forty man, and then you have three years of options to send him to the minors. He has time to develop.

By "his peers" you mean "players who are, on average, two years older than him" ?
