forensicguy 3 Posted March 12, 2017 Nice pic with Ian Desmond he was my target if I didn't trade the 5.7 pick away Yes, ...I was thrilled with the pick. Then, ...a few hours later, ...he got plunked by a fastball and broke his left hand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torn 42 Posted March 12, 2017 Yes, ...I was thrilled with the pick. Then, ...a few hours later, ...he got plunked by a fastball and broke his left hand. Man, that does $uck, just saw that online. Sounds like he's going to be down for a while, too... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteWonder 2,170 Posted March 13, 2017 Awww, but what if I want to? Just locking down finished transactions. Was wondering how they got unlocked... I've been using the lock as a reminder to myself that I've completed the side work (online sheet, thread update, Yahoo site updates) ... just turn around and tell posty we don't need comments from the peanut gallery. boom! then drop the mic and lock the thread.

Torn 42 Posted March 13, 2017 no crap? yikes. well torn stole the other guy I was looking at... RIP Kinsler I've historically found that when I give crap to someone about their injured player (especially during a draft), I have 2 guys go down on my squad within 48 hours. LOL... Karma... Re: Kinsler - he was the primary reason I moved up. Not trusting Walker for the 2B job - if he does well, it's gravy. Figured Kinsler would never get to me if I waited until 6.11 ...

Torn 42 Posted March 13, 2017 Grrrr... Was hoping beyond hope that Hamels would get to me, especially with strombn already loaded with SPs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteWonder 2,170 Posted March 13, 2017 Hamels was In consideration at my 3.7 pick with stras, price, and degrom before I traded... then I passed on him twice more haha. Weird how the flow of a draft can change my mind and then I'm like no! I have to get the potential of salazar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
strombn 5 Posted March 13, 2017 Grrrr... Was hoping beyond hope that Hamels would get to me, especially with strombn already loaded with SPs. That's funny. I was going to go Hamels at 7.01. Thought he was going to make it back to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torn 42 Posted March 13, 2017 That's funny. I was going to go Hamels at 7.01. Thought he was going to make it back to me. Wow, wouldn't have thought you'd go SP with 5 already drafted. Oh well, at least I don't feel as bad about not getting him. Rolling the dice with Nola - had him and seriously debated keeping him, but opted to not hold 3 pitchers.

Noted and correct - didn't think he'd go 6 deep though...

TheGodfather414 4 Posted March 14, 2017 9.01 was picked in the 7th/8th round thread, in case anyone is waiting on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torn 42 Posted March 14, 2017 Dang ... It was NOT my plan to go with an IF at 9.02, but I just couldn't let Longoria slide any further. Good net value in the 110-120 range... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteWonder 2,170 Posted March 14, 2017 Was shoveling my ass off. Woe keon Broxton good pick. To think ibwas looking at him for round 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torn 42 Posted March 14, 2017 Ah yes, I need to go out for a round of shoveling myself... Up to about 4 inches already with 16-20 expected here in MA. Sux ... I like both the Broxton AND Morales picks. Keon brings a ton of speed and curious to see the power numbers with a full complement of ABs. Morales is a sneaky good buy with the move to Toronto, multi-position eligibility and a mostly DH role that will give him plenty of ABs while likely helping to keep him off the DL.

forensicguy 3 Posted March 14, 2017 Was shoveling my ass off. Woe keon Broxton good pick. To think ibwas looking at him for round 12 Kind of a left-handed compliment. Nice pick, ...but he should have gone 3 rounds later. Hmm, ... But I get it, WW, ...and I agree. Normally, I wouldn't respond to an outstanding spring campaign like this, with such a big upgrade. But I like the idea of getting a super hot bat into my line-up while Ian Desmond is on the mend. Also, ...I looked at my hitters. Good power, ...but my team speed was mediocre, at best. If Keon stays semi-hot and ups his OBP, his speed could be just what the doc ordered. Without the Desmond injury, ...and the thin outfield, ...I would have let Keon and other OFs sit there another round or two. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FouLLine 2 Posted March 14, 2017 Hey fellas, gunna need at least another 90 mins to make my pick. If anyone is interested in this pick PM I'm open to trading it but won't be able to really dig in for at least another 60 - 90 mins. So shoot me some offers if interested.

It's BEAUTIFUL here in southern NM. Typing outside at a coffee place. When the spring winds hit, ...the mountains disappear, and the contact lenses feel like piles of stones.
