Jeff Luhnow picks:
2012 | Carlos Correa (2nd overall. He inherited Springer).
2013 | Mark Appel (
taken instead of Kris Bryant. Ouch)
2014 | Brady Aiken (
didn't even sign with team, passing over Trea Turner, Aaron Nola, Michael Conforto, Bradley Zimmer, Matt Chapman, Luke Weaver, top MiLB pitching prospect Michael Kopech).
2015 | Alex Bregman (good pick! His second!); Kyle Tucker (also looks good)
2016 | Forest Whitley (looks good, too, though TINSTAAPP)
My point: Baseball drafts are hard. Being a baseball GM is hard. Even really good ones like Jeff Luhnow and Dayton Moore are not going to hit on every first round-pick. If you can hit at 50 percent or better, you're doing a really good job.
