    Are you evaluating a player based on his speed stat in MLB: The Show for Playstation?

          2014 #2 pick is very likely to be a pitcher

          Trea Turner is the only advanced bat at the top right now

          Alex Jackson and Jacob Gatewood are the top HS bats however seems we are looking for a guy who can move thru fast

            To me that's a problem though. We should have a contending-capable pitching staff and OF come 2015. The young guys will have their growing paines 2013-2014 and you have more than enough depth in those areas to fill in the flame outs.

            We just need a semblance of anything out of our IF. I think we need to start building to be competing for 2015, not 2016. And that can be done through FA and trades. We need to overhaul the entire area, but it'll be worth it. This can't be another 2008-2010 where we sit on our hands and do jack shit while we have a more than capable team with some easy holes to plug.

Combining the natural washing out of guys trying to make professional baseball
            IMO, top 5 picks and such should be looked at as avergish players with breakout potential rather than superstars. There are only few superstars in the league and yet so many top prospects/draft picks for a reason. Both Hosmer and Alvarez posted 3+ WAR last season, and Wieters put up a 2.4 WAR in a down year.

            I think the "underwhelmed" part has to do moreso with realistic expectations than anything. I'd be more than happy if our guy was "just" a ~3 WAR player.

            How does that work in terms of hiring front office and shit?

                The packers have a board of directors who makes those decisions I believe.
