big blow for the cubs

Not a bad idea hahaha

Man I’m bored. assuming there is a season, this delay means I won’t be betting Tampa to win the AL East. I was thinking with all the Yankees injuries it wouldn’t be a bad wager. Still might not be but the delay will give judge, Stanton etc time to heal up

Well yeah. Plus all the multi eligibility they seem to be pretty loose with. for example Ketel Marte WAS an outfielder last year and now will play 2B. Does he really deserve to be considered a SS?

Also since I am so bored, I present...... The Rays Up [C] - Travis d’Arnaud (Mike Zunino, Steven Vogt) Losing Ramos really hurt here. Was hoping posty picked before me and had someone more important. I actually expect Vogt to be integral to my catching rotation. [1B] - Wil Myers (Ji Man Choi, Yandy Diaz) Myers has so much talent but maybe a trade somewhere would be beneficial. When healthy he is a 30-15 capable guy. [2B] - Brandon Lowe (Joey Wendle) Semi weak position for me but Lowe has potential to build on last years success. I meant to draft him as exclusive and luckily there were enough better multi position eligible options that he didn’t get snagged during the supplemental [SS] - Trevor Story (Willy Adames) Needed to address in the supplemental. Initially thought Story would be long gone by 11 and my plan was Ketel Marte for the middle infield dual eligibility but people cover those moving parts. Either way I was happy to move Adames into a bench role. He’s talented but not reliable. [3B] - Yandy Diaz (Evan Longoria, Yoshi Tsutsugo) Weak unless Yandy really busts out. Any of these guys could claim the everyday job. With how the Rays vary their lineups, Longoria will probably get the most consistent playing time but has the least upside) [OF] - Austin Meadows, Hunter Renfroe, Mallex Smith (Kevin Kiermaier, Avisail Garcia, Manuel Margot, Corey Dickerson) After Meadows, this is going to be a huge rotation. Renfroe has power, Mallex is starting for now because of his ability to add steals and triples, Garcia may be the most well rounded. [Util] - Corey Dickerson (Yoshi Tsutsugo, Avi Garcia) Another rotation. Dickerson might find himself as an everyday outfielder anyway...... [SP] - Charlie Morton, Blake Snell, Tyler Glasnow, Dinelson Lamet, Jake Odorizzi, Chris Archer, Brendan McKay, Drew Smyly (Ryan Yarbrough, Yonny Chironos) Owning every Rays pitcher allows me flexibility to add and drop outside of Morton who was my top draft target. Luckily I have a little team diversity in Lamet, Odorizzi, Archer and Smyly... who I think may turn out to be a big time value pitching in San Fran. Was very bummed to not land Price. Odorizzi just doesn’t have the same upside. [RP] - Kirby Yates, Alex Colome, Nick Anderson, Emilio Pagan, Sergio Romo, Chaz Roe, Diego Castillo, Jose Alvarado Can’t mention enough times how I spaced out on Yates and my luck with him made my draft feel 10x better after missing so many nice pieces. I have three saves options for the time being. Pagan being traded to a non owned team was huge. I expect him to be one of the better holds guys and the next in line closer if anything happens to Yates. Between Pagan, Romo and the rest of the Rays relievers I should have plenty of holds opportunities. Overall this team should be light on power and offense in general. We have some speed. Pitching will be the strength assuming health. Lots of high strikeout starters and potentially the top bullpen in the Geek Homers.

Let’s take this down time to discuss why we have teams with boring default hat logos instead of a custom image. get it together! Show your uniqueness

Yup. Tatis Jr was going to be my pick at 27.11 if Story was gone. I guess SS is pretty deep this year. I was also surprised no one drafted Eloy Jimenez those were the only two. Maybe Gary Sanchez or Mitch Garver

One of them I almost picked in round 1 and I believe he will go undrafted

Whoever has made the playoffs the most years in a row without winning. If there is a tie, the tie goes to Tampa

Two players I’m surprised have not been drafted. Then again that happens every year when you have to factor in team needs

I had Lamet penciled in for round two before we even knew the draft order. Big risk, big upside (I hope). My ultimate decision was made easier when Berrios was taken off the board

28.04 - Dinelson Lamet, SP, SD

nice picks... despite there being no rush to this, I didn't really do my homework in terms of looking at what the teams after me (and before me in round 2) needed. I likely could have waited on Story. Probably was the BPA.... but maybe not a need for the teams after me.

Looks like we are @bbascom for dós

27.11 - Trevor Story, SS, COL
