From Christian Colon through what Ashe Russell just a number of years of wasted picks.

The 2013 and 2014 picks led directly to two AL pennants and a World Series title.
I wouldn’t call those wasted.
Starling is the worst of all of them in hindsight... but that’s also with hindsight. It hasn’t worked for various reasons. But there was nothing wrong with the pick when made.

Could go either way. Depends on what they’re seeing from those guy eyewitness and on how they do next spring.
Matias absolutely needs to make more contact. He slumped over the past several weeks. A strong finish wouldn’t certainly answer some questions about him.
