Clement an M
If Olivo hadn't regressed to a high school catcher, would the M's have drafted Clement with the #3 pick? Almost certainly not.
We hear clubs draft the best player available, but there is no question the M's have options at SS, but have NO options at catcher. If he lights it up he may see time late next year, and will likely be the starting catcher in 2007. This is assuming he plays the way the M's think he is capable.
This pick is an important first step in rebuilding a farm system devoid of power position players and young pitchers.
