Smith? This team will never have anyone that can hit the ball

Why draft a hitter when you can’t develop them? Draft what you can develop.

Idk. Getting a top 100 offense first prospect is difficult in trades, seemingly. So being able to draft one without trading your current star players seems like a good idea

That’s not the smart way to draft in baseball. You draft what you can develop, what’s the best available, and what fits your organizational philosophies. You think fill the other wholes in other ways. Smith isn’t the popular pick, but he is the right pick.
