There were some reports that they had a pre-draft financial understanding with Porcello if he fell to them.

He walked 14 batters in 21 innings. No matter what excuses you want to make for him or how you want to blame Torre, etc, that is terrible. He does not have the confidence or command of his fastball to use it effectively inside the strike zone. That's where he stands. Could get better but he's not there yet.

When the Tigers grabbed Porcello at 27 and we were waiting for Brackman at 30 or 31, would we still have taken Brackman over Porcello had Porcello been available? While I was watching it, I remember not knowing we had focused so much on Brackman and I was flipping my lid about possibly getting Porcello. But given the choice, what were we most likely to have done? Both are great for different reasons, and time will tell, obviously. But the high reward aspect of Brackman seemed to be plenty good reason at the time, we just didn't get this choice. I’ve been confused on something.
