Turns out that strikeout success in the minors does project fairly well to the majors, but pitch-to-contact is a whole different ballgame. How many Brad Radke clones has this organization drafted over the past 10 years? It's the one major failure of an organization that did a lot of things right over those years, and we're paying for it now.
