And the Nationals take the Boras issue out of our hands...

Langford or BUST!!!

OK then...

I guess I'll need to eat my words because I'm perfectly fine with Clark...

This is a scouting/ upside play so it doesn't bother me that he'll have a longer path than Langford...

Defense and all all tool player wins out. We loose since it indicates long rebuild ahead. 

Greene got the majors in only one more MilB season than Torkelson and a lot of folks say they should have waited longer with Tork.

I think his upside is supposed to be higher.

But we'll see how that plays out...

MLB.com has both rated the same but Clark has better numbers for speed and fielding.  Seems that Lanford's only advantage over Clark is in hitting power.

How can anyone understand this?

What's not to understand?: It's not like Clark was rated 208th. He was in the top five of nearly everybody's board and has crazy high upside. Not to mention is a pretty good ballplayer projected to stay in center. 

Sure Lankford seem like the more obvious pick but Clark has the ceiling of a Betts while Lankford is probably Andrew McCutheon.
