It is a C+ because we lost what would have immediately gotten us better in the power department in Riley and Pickett.

Remember Woodruff was supposed to be THE GUY coming in. McCord too. Hudson too. It's great we got some "the guys" coming in but it don't mean shit until it happens. I'm tired of waiting until year 3 for anything to come about.

The one thing that would have meant something is Riley and slightly lesser extent Pickett. Everything else is hype.
Woodruff had a broken arm and is currently one of the Brewers top 30 prospects per MLB.com. McCord had a torn labrum- that's a bad injury for a pitcher to have. Hudson did OK for the most part when Butch actually used him.

The truth is Pickett would have likely had a career arc similar to Renfroe's offensively with a better freshman season in all likelihood because Hunter's was just so dreadful. Pickett is very streaky and didn't have a great senior year. Which is why he dropped from the first round to eighth.
