Buyers haven't received much bang for their buck in drafting Kris Bryant or Manny Machado in the top half of the first round in most drafts this year.
The multiple eligibility helped in enticing drafters to make them such a high selection.
Some took Bryant higher than Trout last year.
Chagrined now, that even with Trout missing 45 games, that Bryant ended the first half of the season with just two home runs and two rbi more than Trout.
It looks like neither Machado or Bryant will retain that dual eligibility. Both on par to be listed as mere mortals at third base next year, with Bryant needing 10 more outfield games and Machado needing a Managerial decision to move him to shortstop.
To tell the truth, I don't know what Machado's problem has been.
Maybe it's Homeritis, I don't know.
But, I believe that Bryant has been nicked up in one way or the other most of the year and believe that next year, he will be back to an MVP player.
At least, that is my thought in selecting him as the 13th pick.
13- Kris Bryant, 3B, CHI
On my tombstone-
Wait! I never had the perfect draft!
