...to say stuff like that. :) But another part of that article is that the scouts are blown away by how Cole should be successful in the pros now, and Rendon is DHing again or otherwise not in the field every day even while his ankle is not holding back his bat one bit.
If Rendon is gonna have trouble at 3rd base or his leg could make a long career problematic, he's not necessarily who you might want as a #1 pick - unless you have a DH slot as a fallback, which Pittsburgh does not. OTOH, we already know what it's like to have a HOF third baseman who can't play the field due to injury.
I'd LOVE to take my chances with Rendon, but Lonnie's heart will break without Cole to help Felix and Pineda front this rotation.
Either way, it looks good for us in June. There are some monsters in this draft. Keep it up, boys...
