I debated about doing Vassell, because there really isn’t enough data for a good WS comparison. He’s in about his correct position, but I’m thinking he will climb up like Keldon did. His WS for this season is 1.5, the same as all of last season. Not doing last years class. If you look at them sorted by WSs, 3 of the top 5 picks are a dead at the end of the class, including second rounders. Way too early to open the oven and take a look.
So, you have one guy who never came over, one swing for the fences who busted, one real disappointment (LW IV) one guy early on performing about at his spot, and four picks who outperformed their spots by an average of just under 19 positions. Considering most here think that Primo and Vassell are the best of the lot, I’d say that since the last championship, we’ve done pretty damned well.
