WhiteWonder 2,171 Posted March 7, 2018 First off, thanks dcb, for covering for me today. Got my 1st and 3rd choices. I had thought about it for a while and did not want Tim Beckham (or at least not that high) but then sort of talked myself into wanting him. Oh well.... which brings me to Wanted him but thought I could get him next round. Good pick. sadly you could not have, as I had turned my attention to him for my next pick. That's what it's come down to as a Rays owner. My options are gross and i've just now realized that the Rays may often deploy a lineup where I don't currently have a shortstop when I thought I did. Which brings me to my pick. Literally 0 interest in him but it's a warm body I might need and probably can't risk him making it through the Jays 2 more times.

Literally 0 interest in him but it's a warm body I might need and probably can't risk him making it through the Jays 2 more times. You probably would have been safe for another round, but then again my team is starting to become devoid of good options. I mean even 2 aging OFers that don't have teams are off my board. That was me with Martin though too. Thought LAD wouldn't need another C but I knew I needed at least someone in the position and most of my options don't have teams.

Mookz 1,287 Posted March 7, 2018 Dudes, I will be looking to trade a catcher again this year. I'll be featuring Wieters and Castillo (or an Os catcher if you really want one). So if you have woeful catching, keep that in mind and think about where your strengths are. I will undoubtedly have many holes to fill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GuardBum 73 Posted March 7, 2018 Well then. Guess I could have gone elsewhere although I don't really have options I care about anymore so why risk it. No he's a solid pick when you need to fill a slot. You never know in this league where and who someone will value. Sometimes BPA is not the thought when it comes to round by round. Hech should play every day until and when the Rays bring up the next prospect ready to go. And some of us clubs do just need a warm body to fill a position.

BlackClouds 24 Posted March 7, 2018 5.13 - Blake Parker, RP, LAA Dammit...nice snag there. I guess it would help if I did my research on this guy and saw that he started out with the Cubs. Looks like I have no closers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lambert58 56 Posted March 8, 2018 Was getting ready to pull the trigger on Joe Kelly in the 7th then Bascom picked ahead. Allowed me to grab him in the 9th. Sad the only thing good that happened to me in this draft revolves around Joe Kelly in the 9th round. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cmh6476 748 Posted March 8, 2018 I'm tired of waiting on Moustakas and Holland. At this point, missing out on those guys would be worse than losing drew butera or Joakim Soria Hopefully the draft gets to those spots before one of these Butt nuggets signs a free agent deal with a represented team who picks before I have them slotted Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sad the only thing good that happened to me in this draft revolves around Joe Kelly in the 9th round. Been looking at him for a while but I have several other RPing options so I wasn't overly concerned about grabbing him. 29Guests picked ahead so I could push Lowrie back to Round 8 allowing me to also grab Moreland in Round 7 as well to help out with my weak 1B.
