Just as was the case with Jared Kelley, Garrett Crochet was quite a coup for the White Sox — only we didn’t know it then.
OK, maybe it was just this author who didn’t know it then. But spending an 11th overall pick on a guy who battled injury and simply “hadn’t done much” at the college level seemed quite a stretch. Not sure I’ve ever been so wrong.
