2015 Draft Discussion
Yeah, nice pick. I started to take him instead of Buehler with my last pick, but since I also have Kyle Freeland, I can't have my future rotation so dependent on Colorado prospects.Mets wrote:Very pleased to nab Mike Nikorak with pick #47, especially since I considered him with an earlier pick. He was ranked top 10-20 on many boards leading into the draft.

Also on my short list, but my prospects are pitching heavy so when it came between high upside bat vs arm, I went with the bat again.Mets wrote:Very pleased to nab Mike Nikorak with pick #47, especially since I considered him with an earlier pick.

Jag, Orimoloye was also on my list.. love the pick.
I don't feel as bad now knowing there were multiple people ahead of me who were planning on taking him.Twins wrote:Bishop, man, you broke my heart by grabbing Calhoun. Here I was, hoping he'd been overlooked by all and would fall to the late second, but no, you came in and took him. Well done, you scoundrel.
little dude, but those A+ numbers are solid
Still a couple of other guys left on the board I had grouped together as hopefuls for my upcoming pick, we'll see if any of them make it.

I couldn't pass up the numbers he put up with the bat. I wish he was a half a foot taller or better with the glove but that bat, if it's real that's a something.
Good to know my instincts were correct in that he wasn't going to be around for pick 79. I had a couple of other guys in mind who went higher in the actual draft.

Another long wait for Oh's projection?
I'll spell it out for you guys
He's 33, had great success in Korea, went to Japan where he was very good in year 1, and solid in year 2. His projection shouldn't fluctuate significantly from last year in Japan:
2.73 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, 8.6 k/9, 2.1 bb/9, 0.8 hr/9
Previous year was decently better than that:
1.76 ERA, 0.81 WHIP, 10.9 k/9, 1.8 bb/9, 0.7 hr/9
Consider some bounce back after what was a "down" year for him last year and then regression for league adjustment, and his projection will probably be pretty close to his 2015 Japan numbers, or at least in the same ballpark.
