I agree with the follow on comments here by Keith Law, in about 10 years we wonder what the other teams were thinking ahead of the D-Backs in not drafting Toussaint. Of course, by then we will have had ten years of hindsight to work with.
NL Notes: Toussaint, Phils, Pirates, Billingsley, Cards, Marlins, Nats – MLB Trade Rumors:

Here’s the latest out of the National League …'via Blog this'
The Diamondbacks are close to reaching agreement with first-round pick Touki Toussaint, reports MLB.com’s Steve Gilbert. “Touki I think is very close right now,” said GM Kevin Towers. “… Pretty optimistic we’ll get something done here shortly.” Toussaint, who was taken 16th overall (with a $2,338,200 slot bonus), was rated between the eighth (MLB.com’s Jim Callis and Jonathan Mayo) and thirteenth (ESPN.com’s Keith Law) best player available, with Law saying he could have the most upside of any of the draft-eligible high school righties.
