Or would you rather see 8 of those guys, and have a 50% chance or better at drafting an impact player? I know that baseball's not like most other sports, and there aren't usually those sexy, can't-miss prospects atop the draft board, but it kind of ruins the point of having a high pick if most of the good-looking options are going to wind up being busts.
That's just how I've chosen to look at it.

That's a good way to look at it, since 95% of players drafted don't make it to the big leagues anyway and some that do are only there for a quick cup of coffee and that's all. I like how you think Fyrestorm!!
