If Cole goes to the Pirates. Between Bauer and Rendon I pick Rendon, but even having that choice would be great. Watch, we'll pick someone else and leave me with a slack jaw. ;) Though if it was Starling, I would get that. He is a freak, a Heyward-like freak except he plays center field. We'd have our choice of the best college hitter and instant plus hitter, A Lincecum redux or a Natural out there in CF who just needs polish.
I trust Jack with his choice of those first-round picks. The man's missed once in his career in the first, and made it up with an overslot high schooler later (much like adding Paxton in the 4th to ensure another top-flight prospect in the 2010 draft).
But in 3 weeks I hope to hear that we've bolstered our offense with a massive upgrade at 3B and our #3 hitter who'll show up sometime in 2012.
The other main option, of adding another hydra head to the top of our 2012-2013 rotation, is a nice fallback position to have. I've been hoping for months for the cards to fall this way. 3 weeks to go...
