Great idea.. maybe I'll waste my 5th round in this weak draft on drafting myself.. but I wont make the roster crunch so I'll cut myself immediately.

Kind of feel like we should stick the Sawx with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Soo-hyun instead of changing the name to http://m.mlb.com/news/article/159845824 ... un-soo-kim

Agree

I noticed it, but gave your queue work the benefit of the doubt.

Thanks to Steven and Jason I'll be awhile. Sorry guys, was sure one of them would make it!

Or I could just say fuck it and pick the name I recognize. Happy drafting all.

Dang, was hoping he might fall..

Hey guys, just a heads up. I really had my heart set on Dansby Swanson at #31 and really don't know what to do now. There's just no players from which to choose. I'm probably going to need a full 24 hours...

Well hopefully we're all right about these guys we all like. The 20's went pretty much right off my board, unfortunately for me, and sounds like I wasn't alone.

Sounds like it. Well, I've got about 20 guys in my queue/on my list.. so I hope there's at least 1 of them there before my next pick.

JP didn't take Plummer? Shocking.

Saving him for Aaron?

Id have took him

I had another OF pegged for that pick as I was sure JP would select Plummer before me but I was pleasantly surprised and couldn't pass him up.

Surprised he lasted that long, honestly. Now, who will Bren pick and how long will he take?

I assumed you'd take him at 17, not Riley.

I'm not a homer when it comes to the draft. I took Luke Weaver in the middle of round 2 last year but prior to that the only time I'd ever taken a Cardinal before the 5th round was Matt Adams in the 3rd in 2009

If you click on the Draft tab, the Padres have an asterisk. I assume this means Bren is on auto but with no players in his queue.

Thanks. I let Bren know.

As for Plummer, if Martinez wasn't there, then Plummer was my pick. It wasn't easy picking a Cub over a Card, but I like Martinez' power profile more and it's hard to argue with the power Chicago's produced lately.

It was down to Betts and Martinez for me. The overwhelming case for Martinez is Theo's genius, but after reading some mixed reports, I decided to pass. I could see it being a bad pass for sure. But I think Betts is the best catcher in the draft that would have been top of the first round had he not needed surgery. So, I'm OK waiting it out to see him start developing later next summer.
Matuella was my first target.

Then you'll probably really hate to know that I was 50/50 between Matuella and Martinez at the end. If he'd honored his commitment to the Giants then who knows...

Truly happy with Betts. He was on my short list all along. I just had hoped Matuella would fall, but both are high ceiling guys with injuries.
