Bigsby ans strange are prime examples

I don't, I think Smith and Jefferson can be very, very good in the middle eventually. The problem is we didn't bring in anyone ahead of them on the depth chart to be good this year while they grow up. Baalke is a "reach for guys with huge upside" drafter and that means we regularly get guys who don't really fit (Travon) or aren't ready to play the first year (Bigsby, Maason) even if they play positions where they should contribute immediately.
