If Nimmo develops into something better than he is, fine. But until he does it's a huge red mark on Sandy's ledger. If the best you can come up with on a #1 pick is a singles hitter whose at best a 4th OF, then it's a massive fail
Half the guys picked at #13 have career wars below 2.0 That's kinda hit or miss to count as a "huge red mark", I think.

For his first pick ever yeah, he gets a big red mark. Better be pretty sure you're drafting a stud especially when you see who was picked directly after him. That in combo with Cheech was just awful.

Idk, 3 of his first 4 drafts it looks like Sandy got an All Star and two major league contributors at minimum with the first pick (added on edit). Thats not bad. The rest of the first couple rounds in those drafts (except for Fulmer) were pretty much busts though so its not hard to knock them there.
He certainly did better at those first couple picks than Omar did (Pelfrey, Mulvey, Kunz and Ike Davis).

Jury may still be deliberating on Plaw.
Right, that would be another plus though. He looks like he can be a major league backup (SSS) now.
