pickups such as Merriman, Urbik, Rhinehart, Pears, (Sam) Young, Chandler, Hagan, Barnett, and Morrison (as well as a handful of other still unproven pickups like Dickerson, McKillop, Onubun, Lee) have offset a weak first draft class. Nix and Whaley have a good eye on the waiver wire which IMO shows a great grasp of team needs as well as league wide personnel.
