[Hornsby]

Bumping again...

[Hornsby]

Final Bump...

[Andrewski]

My favorite picks of the draft, aside from the obvious first rounders:

5.13 Strikers - Luis Ortiz P, Texas
6.07 Anno Catuli (me)- Marcos Molina P, NYM
2.15 Magnificent Bastards - Reynaldo Lopez SP, Washington
2.16 Big Tymers-Spencer Adams SP, CWS
5.02 Grand Theft Votto - Michael Gettys OF, San Diego

Wow, I guess I liked a lot of pitchers.

And I've gotten to then point where I don't like pitchers unless they have a huge upside, even if they have some injury issue. I just tried to avoid anyone who wouldn't be a #1 or #2 starter eventually. It's just too easy to find fours and fives, even in a league of 18 teams.

Can I borrow your #1/#2 starter projection tool? Mine doesn't seem to work very well.

And the snark runs deep.... Horns merely is exhibiting wariness for sp unless they are top 50 type prospects, not that his "tool" is better than yours, fear not intrepid space traveler.

Oh, I know. Horns knows I'm not serious.

Oh, Andy knows that my "tool" is better than his!

I don't think I've ever had more than one minor league pitcher on my RJEL roster at a time. This year, with my last pick, I grabbed Blackburn simply because he is a Giant and I never have Giants on my team.

I hate all pitchers, even and especially, minor league ones.

yeah, I decided this year that I wasn't going to draft pitchers, but I ran out of ideas at the end. I had a couple carryovers from last year because as long as I already owned them it was okay, but I doubt I will keep taking more unless they're really close to the majors.

I think other people don't like guys with medium talent but close to the majors (or in the majors) nearly as much as I do. Or Rule 5 picks. I'm not sure why I get so excited about those. I think Canha actually has a future though, I almost picked him up in my NL-only last year.
