I don't really see the big deal either. The Mariners signed Ken Griffey Sr. after he was released by the Reds so he could play 51 games with the biggest prospect on earth at the time. Nobody really had any strong opinions about it.
The Orioles traded for Tim Raines Sr. so he could play 4 games with his son in 2001 too. Again, I don't remember any strong feelings about it.
A lot of players drafted in the second round never make a team either. I don't see the wasted draft pick angle considering he was picked almost last.
