    Too obvious. He’ll take Oregon State RHP Kevin Abel...

    If you think Van Damme has any decent action movies, then you are clearly never disappointed by anything. Good for you!

    Same here, but it is always shocking how many draft experts there are out there confined to message boards. And by this I mean in any sport...

    I think the true surprise will be if Judge ever actually plays in three straight games...

    So ...three guys likely to get cut?

    So if Bloom is true to himself, he will avoid those 4 players and take someone no one saw coming, like Texas A&M RHP Bryce Miller. And then the media will rip him for the reach until Miller is pitching in Portland by August and fighting for a bullpen spot next March...

    Well, the problem is that he struggles to not be a total ass behind the plate...

    And to think, defensive-oriented Tyler Flowers is still without a job...

    Bloom took a high school shortstop last season. If last year taught us anything, Bloom will not be paying attention to someone else's rankings...

    Not sure, but I think I would pass on him at 4 in favor of a few others. If Del Castillo figures to not stick at catcher and Henry Davis does, I would take Davis over Del Castillo..

    And they have no such excuse, except that they are showing how to run a team really cheaply...

    It seems that Bloom/Henry have little desire to cross the luxury tax limit this season, even if they might be able to get under it later...

    Not a big deal, as this is a roto-style leage (which we had to do with 11 teams). I was actually thinking of jettisoning/trading all my SP and just using RP/Closers, as that would help me take ERA, WHIP and Saves in the 5x5 scoring system. Taking 1st in all three but punting Wins and K's. It's a thought...

    It will make my decision tough if ERod struggles this year. Cutting him seems easy, but then I lose the chance to keep him next year for $1...

    Bt I'd call his risk equal to that of Paxton. FRom 2016-2019, Paxton started 101 games and threw 568 IP. In that same stretch, Taillon started 82 games and threw 467 IP. Taillon has also only thrown as many as 134 IP one time in his career, albeit with an impressive 191 IP. Paxton has never thrown 170 IP, but is at least a good bet to top 134 IP, which he has done every season since 2016 (not counting 2020). So while Paxton does always make for legitimate health concerns, the solution to his lack of durability is absolutely not Jameson Taillon...

    See my league is primarily White Sox fans. So getting Giolito or Robert or Moncada is difficult. It's also an auction style draft, which means if good Sox players are left at the end, they can be had very cheaply and kept for at least 3 years. In a snake draft, I probably avoid ERod, but I did get him for $1 at the end of my draft this year, not bad for a team's potential ace. I got Verdugo for $1 last year and held on to him...

    I think we should all get accustomed to Hernandez as the leadoff hitter. It's not going to go away by Thursday...

    A first baseman in many cases has to be an absolute monster to get drafted high. Since that position in often filled at the MLB level by catchers or third basemen who can hit but do not field adequately...

    I try to, but I have three Sox players in my team this year. Two of them are returning and helped me to second place last year...

    And at some point, maybe an inclusion that not all post-season games are equal. A bad game in game 2 of the ALDS is nowhere near as potentially catastrophic as a bad game in game 7 of the World Series...

    Right. Runs allowed is a weak measure, but an 18 inning sample tells all. 18 innings? You cite his 1 HR/9 as one of his detriments. But over 18 innings that means he allowed 2 home runs...

    Who? Taillon?
  23. notin
    Ottavino gave up 0 ER in 17 of his 22 outings, and gave up 1 ER in three others. But based on those other two outings, apparently he sucked...
  24. notin
    There's a pretty good chance that either Kluber or Taillon gives the Yankees nothing this year, as well...

    Probably 1b, but drafting based on position is not something any team should do, with the possible exception of catcher. By the time they reach the majors, many, many players will be in a different position from the one they played when drafted. But very few seem to move into catcher. It does happen, With former VCU shortstop Brandon Inge being one example, but it’s rare. Not sure when Realmuto went from SS to catcher; he was told to switch by a Marlins’ scout but it might have been prior to being drafted...
