I’ve been following the Major League Baseball draft as much as I could over the past couple days. I finally got a chance to survey the blogosphere to see the reaction to the Pittsburgh Pirates picks. Based on what I’ve been able to find, there’s general disappointment that the Bucs opted for pitcher for the seventh time in nine years. The fact that their track record isn’t very good makes me a bit suspicious as well.

Among the blogs not very excited with No. 4 pick Daniel Moskos are Where have you gone, Andy Van Slyke?, Pittsburgh Bloggers, The Bottom Line, and Pittsburgh Sports and Mini Ponies. Bucco Blog has some good commentary to the contrary (here and here).
