After a lot of whispers that either he or Witt might go to the Orioles as the #1 overall pick, Rutschman is the poor, newly rich kid who goes to the worst team in baseball that also has a low-rated farm system, while Vaughn goes to a team that is currently on the cusp of being good and has a highly rated farm system stocked with top 100 prospects (including a pretty solid 1B, so that may be interesting.) By this metric, C. J. Abrams, chosen #6 by the Padres, is a very close second.
If the goal is to make it to the show, wouldn't you want to be the best player in the farm system for a MLB that sucks?
Fast track to the MLB and get that service time clock running...
You have a point. But if you're all that good, and both Rutshman and Vaughn are, wouldn't you rather get to MLB just as quickly and win?
