Nice job Hokey!
Further reasoning for my selection of Flori....First, the best pitchers I had identified were taken. We don't have a single MI in our minors. And although we have Troup in MLB, given our limited payroll budget, we are not going to be able to keep many of our guys as they mature. So, we have to have a flow of players at many positions in our minors. If Flori develops well, then I will have an option to turn Troup (or someone else) into a different asset.
I was also looking at Wareing since I need a catcher too, but I liked Flori better. This draft was thin at middle infield and catcher, which were my key draft needs.
