Spencer Torkelson and Andrew Vaughn, I can't imagine the Tigers and White Sox are loving those picks right now. And then there's the Pavin Smith/Evan White sort of college 1B that are Triple-A filler.
Yeah, it's failed more often than it hasn't.

But at this point I don't give a damn about gloves or speed. Give me someone that can be a plus plus hitter. If we go draft a guy expecting him to be a premier defender and average hitter, that's, what, Victor Scott's hopeful arc?

That doesn't get them closer to being genuinely good. It just raises their floor a bit.

So I don't really care that much about him being a bat only prospect. Because a polished power bat is what this franchise needs more than anything.
