Alright, I'm buying into the Tommy Pham 30/30 hype this year...I think that there's a good reason that STL traded both Grichuk and Piscotty. They believe too...

I actually thought about Kenley.

I'm wary of Pham having a breakout year at age 29 and the fact he never put up anything close to numbers like this before. And for the record, there's a LOT of those guys in this draft!
Good luck, but I'm sure he'll be a guy I will be watching on other teams this year. If he proves to be the man, that's great, but I believe there's a high risk factor here.

Originally posted by revo View PostI'm not going to say I disagree......but taking him this high means you better be right. Pham may have been one reason why they traded those two, but Piscotty has a very sick mother, disappointed greatly and had a long term deal, so he was expendable; they jerked Grichuk around a lot and he came out and asked for a trade the other day, so he may have rubbed some the wrong way.

I really, really wanted to take Abreu and pair him with Votto and Judge. But I was really worried about what would happen with SPs, so I went with Darvish. I think I'm already regretting it.
I really like Jansen here, even though it's crazy to pick a closer in round 3. Getting 100-110 Ks from a closer is nice when most SPs are topping out at 150-160. I wasn't sure Kimbrel or Jansen would have made it to me in round 4.

Why do drafts slow down on the weekends? What the heck are you guys doing?

Can't believe how far Cole and Nola and Schoop fell. They were all on my short list last round.
I had to pick Cutch - there's a lot that needs to go right, but there's a chance for .360 OBP, 25 HR and 10 steals, maybe even decent counting stats. He probably won't hit all of those marks, but maybe some of them. Who IS the Giants leadoff hitter anyway? I guess Dyson or LoCain if they sign them?
