D- This is a function of this organization's unnatural draft fetish for fourth outfielders and utility infielders while almost a total disregard for corner bats (especially OF corners) since they took Jay Bruce.
Cozart was roundly dismissed as an all-field no-hit guy with the ceiling of a utility infielder the moment he was drafted, too.

Criticizing Buckley's drafting approach, given the results he's had with the Reds, is groundless, IMO.
