And if you see what Correa and especially Buxton are doing, you'll know why.  I think Buxton is the best hitting prospect in the minors, and I was DYING to have him fall to us, especially after Houston passed on him at #1.  It was not to be.  Zunino was the fallback plan.
And some of Jack's post-draft comments validate that.  Not that they didn't like Zunino, but that if Buxton had been available, Zunino would not have been a Mariner.  There's a lot of risk in drafting a catcher that high, and a limited ceiling for the most part.
