Yep. I was a fan of taking Scheppers at 43 if he was available, but I understand the Reds decision to pass on him. I guess they figured there's a better chance of Boxberger improving his control and developing into a #3 starter than Scheppers overcoming a tear in his pitching shoulder and becoming a #1 starter.
