Nope. Dig up any post I've made about this year's draft and I've been very positive about it, largely because of the Melville selection. But you're right, I'm going to continue to want to hold Glass accountable.

To further support the tide is turning during this draft thought, the Royals also tried to sign their 7th round pick for $1M+, but the guy stiffed them and is going to Vandy.
There were several other players signed above the typical amount in the round they were taken also (Keubler comes to mind). Regardless what happens with Hosmer (I'd be shocked if he doesn't sign), this draft absolutely signals a change in the strategy.
