torridjoe 0 Posted March 12, 2012 Is he definitely the 5th starter? I have been seeing Lannan as the 5th more... I was looking at him for my last pick... No, not definitely. But that's the only place he has value, and coaches are high on his recovery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stewburtx8 67 Posted March 13, 2012 I would of traded a closer and the #9 pick for that #1 pick. Then you could of had a closer AND probably still got Carlos Santana. By the way, I would still trade a closer and the #9 pick for a OTC pick if anyone is interested. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But some decent seconday arms Yeah, wasn't thinking about ace-quality arms, but I think there will be some good 2s and 3s left. Plus this game makes it hard to get a solid closer sometimes; relievers can be at a premium. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Burt 43 Posted March 14, 2012 So not figuring Upton would fall to me. It was between him, Longoria and someone else not yet drafted for me. I needed a 3B and and OF, but there was only three 3B that I would have wanted and there are quite a few more OF...so I figured it better to go with a 3B and take whatever is left when it gets back to me.

torridjoe 0 Posted March 14, 2012 Stoked that Votto fell to me. I ALMOST took Votto. The whole suspension thing is unsettling even now that it's overturned, and Votto actually has a better OPS and is younger and could well blow up even more as a hitter. His road value is almost as high as when he plays in that matchbox in Cincy, and that's a really good sign. But since we don't use the ratio stats, and Braun has those SBs as icing on his cake, I went with the expected. I'm willing to trade up my 2nd round pick!

But since we don't use the ratio stats, and Braun has those SBs as icing on his cake, I went with the expected. I'm willing to trade up my 2nd round pick! I think you made the right choice. I think Braun is better all-around than Votto, but I don't think you could go wrong with either. I thought Braun and Votto would go 1st and 2nd respectively. Obviously didn't quite happen that way. But Votto, Upton, and Longoria are close enough that I understand why the order got switched up based on need and preference. Felix was kind of the wild card who I thought could get taken real early if someone really needed pitching, but he ended up going about where I thought he would. Carlos Santana was a huge reach in my opinion even if he was a big need, but what do I know. He could end up the #1 catcher by a wide margin if it continues to all come together for him. Obviously he's young with huge upside at a very scarce position. Now I'm just sitting here waiting to see who falls to me. 9th pick isn't a very good spot in my opinion. I'd be willing to possibly trade down with someone depending who is available. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
southcarolina 166 Posted March 14, 2012 Not that there was ever a chance of him falling to me, but the one thing that would have worried me about Braun was that it was likely he was using steroids last season, and now may be forced to go clean. At least for awhile. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At least for awhile. Maybe I'm naive but Ryan Braun has been REALLY good ever since he started playing baseball. He was an All-American at Miami and drafted 5th overall in the 2005 draft. He was very good in the minor leagues for 2+ years. Then in 2007 he was the Rookie of the Year and has been an all-star ever since with an MVP award last season. There was never a huge spike in his numbers. He never suddenly just looked bigger. Do you think he was using steroids all that time and was just never caught? Do steroids even make someone a better baseball player? For some reason I give him the benefit of the doubt. I think he is an elite player whether he took steroids knowingly, unknowingly, or not at all. I could be very wrong though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZeroTolerance 582 Posted March 14, 2012 Well, there was a reason I was trying to trade up. Wanted Longoria, and he becomes even more valuable now that Wright has a muscle tear (will he play through it, will he end up getting surgery like Zimmerman, stay tuned!). On that note, I am still open to offers for people wanting to trade up to #9, or negotiate a swap of first and second round draft positions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteWonder 2,172 Posted March 14, 2012 Good pick Stew I was busy all day helping someone move but wanted to comment a little on the Supplemental thus far. I think there was a clear cut top 2 in Braun and Votto followed closely by Upton and Longoria. Once those four were selected I was done even thinking of trading up. There is plenty of talent left but nothing that stands out like those 4 and nothing worth giving up much in a trade for imo. Obviously the Santana pick was a bit out of left field but in this format I suppose its more understandable. Santana was one of my targets at 16 and though I never expected to get him, I did not think he would come off the board until after those four batting studs were gone. I thought his time would be right around now where there is a mess of decent hitters but he has added attractiveness of being a catcher with 1b eligibility. Felix is the one pitcher i could have possibly put on par with those 4 hitters i mentioned but he will be limited in wins, even so he is just that talented that he should probably be in the convo with them. From here on out I see a bunch of solid pitching and hitting options that should last deep into round 2 if not all the way through, as i expected. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GuardBum 73 Posted March 15, 2012 It was between him, Longoria and someone else not yet drafted for me. I needed a 3B and and OF, but there was only three 3B that I would have wanted and there are quite a few more OF...so I figured it better to go with a 3B and take whatever is left when it gets back to me. I had a tough time leaving Votto still out there but knowing how badly I needed OF, I really couldn't see trading down and getting anything better for that spot than Upton at that point. I have plenty of options at 1B. Now at least later I may have options to just provide depth for my team with the late 30th pick. I have no glaring holes now at least. Still have an extra starting C in exchange for a decent role player for those wagering the sup list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
