Scroll down to Paul Konerko.

Damn...I was surprised by the Hellickson pick...he's rather unproven IMO...but the salary is definitely nice

 

Who's up?

[italstallianion]

Keeper is now on the clock.

[italstallianion]

I also have Y228's pick so when Keeper makes his pick, I can make Y228's pick and it'd be JBay's turn.

Who's up?

 

Yeah, maybe was a bit early on his pick.

 

I got worried. I had Hanson going deeper, I was planning on picking him in the 5th, and Heyward in the 6th, but they both got picked up really early, so it made me worry.

[italstallianion]

I don't think that Keeper is online yet. I'm sure that he'd get his pick in tonight though.

[SoxFanForsyth]

So what brings you to the states Italian?

[italstallianion]

One of my parents is American and the other is English. I tend to go back and forth a lot. I'd also rather get my career started here due to lower living expenses etc.

[Keeper]

Justin Upton - OF ($500,000)

 

Just noticed that Will has two right fielders in Werth and Choo. What's up with that? Seems like a waste.

[SoxFanForsyth]

f***.

[italstallianion]

Yankees228 wants Rickie Weeks 2B 2.75m

 

JBay is up I think.

[SoxFanForsyth]

You're right, should have gone Upton over Hellickson

[italstallianion]

Justin Upton - OF ($500' date='000)[/b']

In all fairness, he could put one of them in left, although it might have it's defensive reprecussions. Or, that could be good trade bait for someone later on.

Haha I told you, and now I don't have to worry about picking Justin Upton and pretending that you didn't give me the idea.

Well Werth has the ability to play CF and Choo has the ability to play LF

[Keeper]

Weeks is a great pick, if he can stay healthy. We saw what he can do in a full season last year, and it was impressive. I think Hellickson may have been a reach because I would imagine his innings will be limited to probably around 170 or so, but he's going to be something special.

[Keeper]

Well Werth has the ability to play CF and Choo has the ability to play LF

 

I guess, but they've pretty much established themselves as right fielders in the last 2 seasons.

[italstallianion]

I like Rickie Weeks too. He isn't the most talented or the best 2B, but considering who was available, and considering how much money Y228 spent on his pitching, Rickie Weeks at 2.75 million is a bargain.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Yeh Hellickson could be a reach, but from the games I saw him throw last year, I could see him putting up Buchholz type numbers too. Maybe about 170-180 IP, but he could get 15 to 17 wins with around a 2.5-3.0 ERA.

[italstallianion]

That'd be tough against a better Red Sox lineup, and with a weaker Rays lineup to support him. One could also make the argument that the Rays bullpen is getting worse too and could hurt him.

 

In any case, is Jbay online? It's his pick.

[Divinity]

I guess' date=' but they've pretty much established themselves as right fielders in the last 2 seasons.[/quote']

 

Without a doubt, from a defensive standpoint I wouldn't necessarily recommend it.

[Keeper]

I wouldn't worry about Hellickson's win-loss record. You either have run support and a good bullpen or you don't. It's out of his hands. He's a stud in the making.

Justin Upton - OF ($500' date='000)[/b']

Holy s***...I completely forgot about him

 

That was a fantastic pick

[SoxFanForsyth]

That's who I was going to pick instead of Hellickson. I'm so pissed I didn't now.

[Keeper]

Thanks, I'm thinking he's a likely candidate to rebound from last year. I love my outfield so far.

[Jasonbay44]

Jay Bruce, RF

Salary: $440,000

[SoxFanForsyth]

Dammit. I was going to take Bruce since Upton got picked up.

[italstallianion]

I told you that you should have picked Upton Forsyth.

 

Anyway, Flynnatic is up now.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Yeah. AFTER I took Hellickson.

[yrtb]

I have by 1-2-3-4 already but if a certain somebody is left I might be forced to take a pitcher next round
