Not really trying to make a defense of Beinfest, I just thought these were some interesting numbers:
Beinfest's average first-round selection has been 20th.
The average 20th overall pick in a draft has only produced 7.5 career WAR since 1965. Only 16/41 have even produced any positive WAR in their careers, and only 13/41 have produced more career WAR than Volstad 3.3
The Major League Baseball draft is really hard.
