Not a bad draft, at all.

Okay! I'll trade you my next pick (#20) for him. That's a steal, if you ask me.

 

How is getting the #20 pick a steal...I would rather keep Lackey....

 

I think he was being sarcastic.

 

With Eric's trade offers, I never know :D

You make a good point. 8-[

Well Soto is one of the best catchers, Jeter is one of the best short stops, Manny is one of the best batters period and DLee is a very good 1B. I then have a very promising 2B in Cabrera and Jay Bruce is a high potential player. Like you said I have pitching done so I will fill all my other batting positions and with a 2nd rd pick, two 3rd rders and two 4th rders I am confident my batting will be top 5 at the least.

 

As far as my pitching I love it. I got proven vets who aren't over 30 and thus shouldn't break down pared with young guys who are known for power pitching and loads of potential. I would think I should run away with the SO stat.

 

This team looks like it will collapse under late season pressure just like last season. :blackeye:

 

Ugh don't remind me. I was in 1st in the power rankings for many weeks in a row and was in the top 3 for both pitching and hitting. I think I finished around 6-8 in both. Team just completely and utterly blew up and collapsed.

Wo what you are basically saying is that your team was Completely Useless By September?

Yep although my only Cub was Theriot.

[Clem Fandango]

Anyone wanna trade a 3rd rounder for Alex Gordon? He's super good, you know...

 

I'm not concerned with my lack of picks between the 1st and 5th rounds, as my pitching is pretty much filled out already, I'm just boooooooooorrrrrrreeeeed.

 

The 5th round can't get here fast enough.

 

Also, I would've taken Markakis with the 4th pick if

 

a) I didn't already have an outfield filled up and

 

b) my 3rd base keeper was a question mark

[Clem Fandango]

Also, my completely biased and bold prediction for 2010:

 

Nolan Reimold and Kyle Blanks are going to combine for 70 home runs this season. Book it

[mhuber92211]

Yeah, my deal was probably not as good as the 3rd and fourth I could have gotten but it is what it is... It was probably worse than some of the deals we exchanged previously. Oh well... Live and learn.

Denard Span for David Price? Really? Is there a 2011 draft pick involved here?

Unfortunately not. There are roughly 7-10 CF's available in the draft better than Span. Meanwhile Price could have probably fetched a 3rd rd pick due to his upside and exemption status.

You've officially lost the right to say this.

Of course I still can, I made the offer to Dustin :D

 

As far as the best CF on the draft board, I am not sure if I see one (McLouth) or maybe two (Victorino) at par or slightly better. Span has one more year exemption after this year (he has two complete years).

 

At first glace, I saw it as an even trade but sure in hindsight you always want more in return for your players but as long as both sides are happy it is a good trade.
