Not sure he ever made it to AA.
I didn't realize Lacy was 3rd overall though - yeeikes. That stings. Though if it makes you feel any better, it's looking like the 2020 draft may be a pile of crap. Hassell is really the only guy who was reasonably in the top 5 pick discussion who appears like he may amount to something special. Then there's Walker, but you can't bag on anyone for not taking Walker in the top 10 - nobody had him there.

Doesn’t work that way. Fans can and should bag on so-called “talent evaluators” who can’t do it. DM is paid to know Walker would be better than Lacy, and the excuse “well everyone in the industry thought….” is a cope.
Remember too that the next year, DM reached for Mozzicato at 7 instead of his projected 40ish. That is the only rebuttal needed to not excuse him for the Lacy disaster
