i hear you man. you just seemed to be, imo, going out of your way to declare hinds an even bigger longshot than the typical second-round longshot. everyone knows second-rounders have the odds stacked against them, but it was just odd to me that you seemed to think his odds were even greater. i saw it the opposite way. instead of taking a guy in the second round like kevin franklin who was projected to be like a 4th rounder iirc, rece hinds was projected to be a top-40 pick. and the reds got him at 49. with everyone in the game saying he has incredible natural power, and has good makeup.
to me, this is exactly the type of second rounder who has a better chance of making it than most second rounders, not the other way around. although, again, i do agree all second-rounders are longshots. i just don't think that hinds is some extreme longshot.
