Very true. Agreed on all counts. And that’s what makes beane so incredibly frustrating. Because man, if he could nail the first two rounds, he would be one of the best gms ever. As of now, very average.
You want depth and role players fine. That’s what rounds 4-7 are for. Players in the first and second rounds should be starters with the greatest chances of making an impact. Drafting McDonald and moving up for Rodriquez would have more of an impact than the reverse.
