Hultzen is an above-average health risk. College pitchers have the worst turnout ratio of any other pick partly because they tend to flame out in the majors and mostly because they get injured and lose stuff.
Hultzen's stuff declined about a month and a half ago and his K/9 dropped signficantly since then. Given that hes moving to a 5-man rotation, how do we know that he has the stamina to maintain that early-season stuff?
Bauer was the only pitcher I would have considered at #2 as he had a rare blend of advanced pitching mind, stuff, mechanics, and polish. Hultzen is a nice prospect, but man this reminds of the year we took Morrow...
