Interesting, why Yelich? Seems to me he still brings quite a bit of uncertainty to the table. With #2 overall, why not Trout or Acuna, whichever was still available?

Acuna went 1st, and Yelich was an easy pick over Trout with his speed as a major differentiator. After the two years Yelich just had, I don't see how there's any uncertainty.

I would have taken Trout in a heartbeat...IF he plays 155 games, IMO, it's a walkover. But that's why they have drafts and auctions...differing opinions.

maybe it is Austin Meadows - and possibly Hiura - I see as reaches
And how have Goldschmidt, Bryant and even Pham fallen
or tell me what I am missing
A couple of us wanted Bryant but got outvoted.
If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

He hasn't played 155 games since 2016. I would have voted for hacking the site, undoing the first pick, and taking Acuna, but that's just me.

I get Goldy falling---the steals are gone at this point, and his home park is not friendly. I don't see what separates him from Jose Abreu at this point. Pham I can also understand a bit. Bryant seems surprising to me.

Then again, neither has Yelich since 2017...so the injury comp is pretty much even for me. I do agree that I would have sniped the #1 pick by hook or by crook...Acuna is the best player in roto.
