Not every pitcher drafted in the top couple rounds of the draft has a front of the rotation profile. This is the point where some draft fans roll their eyes, hoping their team doesn’t draft the pitcher that profiles as a middle of the rotation starter. But, 2013 seems like the right year to put an end to the fantasy that every highly drafted pitcher needs to project at the top of the rotation. Sometimes, there are pitchers like Michael Wagner - a pitcher that a team is likely to nab in the first two rounds of the June draft based on the quality of his arsenal across the board, consistent track record, and polished command and delivery.
