His next 5 were Cards, D’Backs, Mariners, Marlins and Rangers, FWIW.

I don’t think he’ll be a player that everyone will necessarily be proud to call their 4th overall pick from that draft, but considering reality and the general attrition rate, I think he has the ability to be quite serviceable as a major leaguer; the kind of guy you need on a team to bring the average play of the team up a notch. You have to blame the Pirates due to their lack of success over the last two decades for the fans expecting every hitter come up and hit .300 w/30 HRs. That’s just not the kind of offensive production you can simply come to expect with every player. What he does offer is being a potentially acceptable-average hitting catcher with plus defensive capabilities.
