Look, obviously you can't fault them for picking Taillon, who is as close to a can't miss prospect as you're likely to find anywhere. Considering his youth, he's battle-tested, and there's no questioning Taillon's arm. But it will be at least 2013 before he can realistically be expected in Pittsburgh, and it says here that it may be later than that.
