yea, I saw an article about that. He said he altered his mechanics so his legs absorb more of the punishment of his delivery as opposed to his arm. Setting himself up for that big FA pay day....
yea, I've got no problem with your picks, I think they're good actually but MDC is when I step back a bit and say wtf
probably, cause debating how MDC would be as a closer right now is debating a hypothetical. if he's shown the ability to get saves, it's a different story. that's just the debate point people will get if they draft a non-closer to be their closer

You can bring up the park the guy plays in in the sense of me saying "I like Jack Cust cause he puts up solid power numbers despite playing in a cavern" but you can't justify picks as if you're drafting the park along with the player
exactly, so if Encarnacion plays in a hitter's park, it negatively affects people's opinion on the pick. Especially when you look at his splits, which drop off fairly significantly on the road. So I don't see why you say him playing in Cincy is a "cherry on top of the sundae"
