Went back & scanned JB's list of chosen picks over these past 7 drafts. Total, 48 picks. Of course, there are some absolute STUDS, with no gifted lotto help required.
How many of these kids will play 100 games in the bigs? We'll prob need another half-decade for accuracy, but 20/48 wouldn't surprise me.
Even Ty Cobb would appreciate batting about .410% !
In addition to this, we've added some nice contributing depth through trades(Pearson, Motte types). The larceny of Miller, Schmidt shakedowns almost don't need reference.
Lastly, his college & jr FA signings appear pretty solid as well. The fact that he hasn't acquired additional picks(over his tenure, thus far) appear deftly offset through these alternative roster manoeuvres.
It burns my bacon that JB still often receives scathing(& illogical) disrespect from those claiming to be Canuck fans, in any forum/platform.
