Reply to "Unsigned Draft Picks and Problems with the Draft"

It'll be interesting to see if we ever learn about the extent/accuracy of the concerns about Rocker. Reports I have read pointed to concerns about his elbow. That said, the elbow seems to be less concerning among MLB teams these days. Think back to 2012 when the Nationals drafted Giolito with the first pick knowing he would immediately need TJ. TJ has become so commonplace that some believe the question for every pitcher is when, not if. Shoulder injuries and concerns seem to be more of a red flag. Thoughts on this?
