**Draft Discussion**

Recommended Posts

Figured i'd go ahead and kick it off a little early. I was hoping to see him pitch before our draft but that won't be happening. Then again, I really have no other palatable options so I'm just going to hope for a bounce back... or really just health since he was mostly his normal self when on the field. Maybe he'll be motivated to play really well and opt out. He'd be giving up money but if he hates boston he'll need to perform well to sign a decent deal somewhere else to finish his career.

 

really awful year for the Rays to have the 1.1. I think I had the first pick my very first season doing this when I used the Marlins and took Miggy in his prime.

And for my team, I really would have liked Price more than EE I think but as soon as the draft order hit I pretty much knew he was gone. For after those 2 it's all a crapshoot. Certainly a lot of guys I have for roles and platoons but no one to carry a significant part of my numbers.

Damn near a coin flip on Greinke and Upton. Keeping Zack away from Ted & Chad was the difference maker.

The draft order fell just right for the first two rounds for me with bbascom coming after me and Black Clouds already having picked. He probably wouldn't have taken Kimbrel anyway with the wealth of talent available to him, but I'm happy with him.

I'm in no hurry really. I just enjoy giving cmh a little sh*t. I have a feeling you guy may be skipping me later this week. We got about 12-18 inches of snow across our region and I'll probably have to go out and measure the water content over the area so we'll know what to expect for potential flooding when (if?) it melts.

Proxy list to someone you trust to pick for you? That way we don't have to skip you at least.

I will.The only way you'd have to skip me is if the draft moved along with with 10-12 picks in a short time. That just doesn't happen very often here.

Greinke and Davis might possibly be the only guys with no real shot at making it back to my second pick :(

Dex was my no brainer. Gives me 4 solid starting OFers with Ozuna, Pham, and Piscotty. He is projected to lead off or hit third for the Cards. Great spot for some runs.

1.10 - Yoenis Cespedes, OF, NYM

 

KILLING ME.

 

Ha. I really thought you'd go a different direction and as my only competition thought I had him locked up and take in the second round.

 

:mad:

Trust me...I was going back and forth for a while but ultimately couldn't pass him up. The solid OF of Betts, Cespedes, Benintendi and Bradley Jr was hard to ignore. :cheers:

for whatever reason i really wanted Rich Hill. well technically i wanted Yu Darvish haha but at least Hill gives some diversity and plays on a contender. did not expect Lester to be there. tough choice though with another option or two.

i think i'm the only one who could have picked Wade Davis before your 2nd round pick. i wouldn't have. well, the way things turned out i wouldn't have.

Price is literally the only player with any possibility of carrying a significant part of my numbers. A least you had a backup :)

I thought for sure he was snagging Darvish

in order to put in his pick for round 3 i don't need to officially wait for round 2 to be over if the next player doesn't belong to the Angels or Cardinals right?

correct

 

cool thanks i do a lot of fantasy and but this whole concept is new to me. i knew you could jump people in a round but wasnt sure if "round 1 & 2" needed to be closed out before moving on. then i saw some picks were already made in round 3 and figured it was okay.

Was not expecting both of them in 3 & 4. Was hoping for 1 at least but both is a bonus!

It was a tough choice between Hanley and Kemp, had to grab Alex Wood.

Understandable, depending on the playing time Hanley gets with Moreland will really determine if it is a good pick.
