And if you weren't holding down the counterpoint on Hultzen, we'd be in danger of groupthink.  :- )
No matter how good a Cole Hamels lefty that Hultzen is (or isn't), the elite college hitter and the DiceK Squared guy are painful to miss out on.

As a side point, I wonder why five (5) teams passed on Rendon.  The last decade's drafts have been jammed with college hitters at the top, so we know that the template has huge value with MLB teams.  In other years, the Coles and Hultzens have never tempted teams to miss out on the Ackleys.
Something about Rendon specifically that five teams (as a group) didn't care for.
