I agree with your first point but disagree with the second. There was no way Rosario was getting thrown out at third on that play. Rosario was trying to block the fielder’s view of the ground ball to try and cause confusion to the fielder. It is unlikely a major league shortstop will make an error on that play, but even if it costs him a fraction of a second with Buxton’s speed that could make all the difference.

I understand what you are saying, but I am a big believer in drafting the BPA. The MLB draft is such a crapshoot and the players (especially after the first couple rounds) are so far away from the majors drafting for position alone wouldn't be optimal. Obviously you need to diversify, but if you truly believe the position player you are taking is a tier above the pitcher, take the position player every time.

Keith Law is looking good on his ranking of Balazovik... pitching like a future 2-3. Really exciting K/BB ratio.
