Did they take the wrong Mitchell by mistake?

Evan Mitchell has the 2nd best stuff on our staff. Woodruff has the best. When someone figures out how to get Evan to control his pitches, he will be a great pitcher. As a big league team, I'd gladly take on that risk in the 13th round.

Lindgren has the best stuff on the team.

Who knows what Woodruff has post-surgery and Evan cannot throw a strike.

Exactly. MLB teams love taking kids on potential. Anyone remember how average Papelbon was in college? Boston took him in the 4th and taught him a couple of tricks. By the time he was called up he didn't even resemble his amateur self.
