Higher risk, but more star potential. You CANNOT come out of this draft, your first time in the top 10 in years, with someone that can't potentially be a cornerstone player.
If you're looking at floor, defensive versatility or your internal depth charts when you're making this pick, you're doing it wrong.
You take the guy that has the best chance of being a superstar and hang any other considerations.

I agree. Wetherholt compares favorably to Travis Bazzana with his hit tool. One can argue that Wetherholt is better than Bazzana because I can see Wetherholt as a difference maker with the glove at 3B, whereas Bazzana looks locked in as a 2B.
