Not what the doctor orders

Remember how the Bucs were abused in the preseason for drafting college starters? Remember how the Reds, who had one of the worst starting rotations in the history of the National League last year, were applauded even after they blew their top pick on a two-pitch relief pitching prospect? Given that he's a closer (at best) on a team that desperately needs starting pitching depth, I still don't understand how Ryan Wagner wound up so high on anyone's prospect list. There's plenty of time for Wagner to turn things around and have a useful career, but how blind to a team's needs must you be to celebrate that use of a top-round draft pick?
