But here, Ronis discusses the merits and logic behind why the Washington Nationals superstar is worth the risk because his talent more than covers the eventual reward. Ronis does clarify that he might not take him at third overall, but he understands and explains the point of view of someone who would take him at the No. 3 spot. It’s important to be flexible.
