The key is getting major leaguers out of the draft. Starting players, bench players, starting pitchers, relievers.
And people are being too rough on the Lohman selection. From what I read, he has a shot to be a good shortstop, although without much power.

I realize that the odds are stacked against most draft choices and even a utility guy or journeyman reliever is a success. I just think that you should aim higher in the 3rd and 4th rounds - even if you miss.
