Agravated assault charges were dropped the day after the arrest and replaced with conspiracy to possess a weapon on school property and hindering prosecution. He won't be in Toronto for 4+ years anyway so I don't think it will be a big deal in the long run. If Milton Bradley can get into Canada, anyone can.

Both Alford and Schotts were in my queue when I took Watson, was hoping they would fall to the fourth round...alas they did not.

I figured Alford would fall some more.

Wisdom and Butler were both on my short list. I struggled with these picks to find a starting pitcher who wasn't 16 and landed on Kline. Wanted a college pitcher rather than a high schooler and I think he's got a good repertoire.
Valentin kind of came from looking at higher picks that hadn't been selected in our draft. Small, but good glove, good bloodline and seemingly should be a solid hitting middle infielder.
All these picks are a gamble, but I'm hoping one out of the two progress well.

I passed on Valentin thinking he'd make it to round 4

Perhaps if you had Wisdom it wouldn't have happend...

(The first of way too many bad puns I'm going to make, this pick paid off already)

I feel like somewhere, someone should be starting a baseball blog called, "Tzu Wei's 'The Art of WAR'".

I had Bren down to win first SKIP. Should have taken him to place.

Phillies · Post by **Phillies** » Fri Jan 18, 2013 12:52 pm

I think his previous 3 picks took up around 70 hours.

Rockies · Post by **Rockies** » Fri Jan 18, 2013 2:10 pm

There go a couple more guys off my board..

Phillies · Post by **Phillies** » Fri Jan 18, 2013 10:48 pm

Phillies done. 3 picks, 3 big upside arms. Already traded Weickel though.

Hey, it was between Bird and Romero for me, so you made my decision easy.

Next victim of getting screwed - really wanted DeMichele to fall...

Nationals draft Henry 12-Urrutia with Pick #114

There's my Maels Rodriguez pick...only 113 picks after Bren's.

Guardians · Post by **Guardians** » Mon Jan 28, 2013 12:09 am

SKIP the second of these picks for now, please

Yankees · Post by **Yankees** » Mon Jan 28, 2013 10:19 pm

Had Rathjen right after Black - and I struggled on that one...was hoping he'd fall to my last pick.
