we gotta have some decent ones coming up in the near future, don't we?February 27, 2014 at 03:51PM View BBCode
hahah its like roulette...losing 3 in a row on red doesnt mean the 4th is more likely to hit red.February 27, 2014 at 04:33PM View BBCode
Those guys are young, but I'm wary of especially slow hitters, particularly those who have higher contact than power (like Tim Jones). Those guys need to be rabbits to beat out basehits, I think.February 27, 2014 at 05:13PM View BBCode
Agreed, I like speed in my hitters as well. Thought most of those guys were, for the most part anyway, the best available in terms of upside at the times of selection. I figure at least one or two will pan out into a plus player.February 27, 2014 at 05:42PM View BBCode
its funny how Cerv has potentially great range and slow speed, compared to Becker who has great speed and no range.February 27, 2014 at 05:48PM View BBCode
That is funny. I can think of plenty of OFs in the majors who were speedy but poor defenders (e.g. Lonnie "Skates" Smith), but I'm having a harder time thinking of Cerv's real-life analog. I guess Cerv's skills scream "first baseman," which would make him like Andres Galarraga.March 04, 2014 at 04:10PM View BBCode
seeing that he now is a numbers guy Im following your advice and training him as a 1st base guy.March 04, 2014 at 05:24PM View BBCode

Im basically in the same boat with Lowry too. He didnt improve much in Range/Arm and Im basically forced to throw him at 1b until he is at least passable in the MIF if that ever happens.March 07, 2014 at 04:15AM View BBCode

Really good draft class but most of these guys will be in the minors for 4-6 years before they see any day light.

Given how the draft went compared to my board, I probably should've kept the picks that I used to get Weaver haha. Maybe it's time to expedite this rebuildMarch 12, 2014 at 07:13PM View BBCode

I thought I did ok too. I landed my #16 ranked, 21st ranked and 25th ranked players. Sounds like a late 1st, 2 early seconds. Not bad at all considering I had the 25th, 27th and 33rd pick. The draft was extremely deep but as we all know 50% of players do not pan out unless they are top 5 picks, except for the 1943 draft, I do not think 1 player out of that whole draft is a star today. Barney Williams is ok at best......March 12, 2014 at 09:58PM View BBCode

Joe Stricker was ranked 29th on my board. Montreal just released him, I took him, Jose Eden was ranked 30th, he was also released by Montreal who is just loaded with talent. Both guys are huge projects but have a fighting chance.....Pages: 1 2
