    Closing in on 100 homers and 100 steals after four picks.

      Is that Lawr that took Jason Heyward in the 2nd round? I like him this year too, but 23rd overall?

      Comment


      • #4
        yep, that's him.

        Look at Bryce Harper, Yu Darvish, and Mark Trumbo

        Comment


        • #5
          my first thought was, what site tracks middle names? Miguel VanRiper Cabrera???

          edit: then I took a second look & figured it out.
          It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.

            Very interesting.

            I'm happy to see that in my 15 team mixed league my 5 keepers are all in the Top 26 picks taken. (Posey, Pujols, Hamilton, Pedroia, Bautista)

            • #7
              The 4th rounds seems a little early for Allen Craig, and while I like Giancarlo Stanton, there were "safer" round one choices (given the lineup the Marlins will put around him)

              Comment


              • #8
                If Bryce Harper earns more at 2.1 this season than Josh Hamilton at 2.2 - I'll eat my shoe.

                I thought Corey was better than that.

                  I am not sold on Cargo. I know he is good, he just doesn't quiet get to where he needs to be for a top 10 pick. If I am Gonos I am thrilled that Pujols dropped to me.

                  I also would be thrilled to get Stanton where you did.

                  In my opinion I would never take Tulo in the top 15. Too much risk.

                  Comment


                  • #10
                    I dig the Allen Craig pick. That guy is a legit hitter who knocks in runs and will hit near .300.
                    Find that level above your head and help you reach it.

                      Ha, Ryno I thik we are on different ends on those two guys. The only safer choice imo was Prince unless MJ wanted to go pitcher in Rd 1 which I would not have done either. I can see Prince over Stanton though!
                      Find that level above your head and help you reach it.

                        I like Stanton, but when Justin Ruggiano is your protection, no one is ever going to pitch to him.

                          Posey is clearly the best catcher for fantasy purposes, but I don't know if he's worth taking that high.

                            I think I am with Ryno here (other than protection being highly overrated). Stanton seems dangerous in round 1, if only for injuries, and while Craig can hit, his injury history is longer than his major-league playing history. I would feel much safer with Fielder and someone like Headley (who at least is a third baseman). Plenty of upside, but a lot of risk. Heck, Reyes is risky, too, but I think a good value where he was taken.

                              While "protection" is kind of a myth (it leads to an uptick in walks but not an uptick in hitting), the crappy lineup around Stanton is a concern because it might present fewer R and RBI opportunities. He'll still get his bombs if he stays healthy, but he may not have the R and RBI totals of the other power hitters going in the first round.

                              Of course, if you're banking on him being traded soon (or in midseason), that's different.
