"we are going with a committee approach" :whatever:

 

[General Malaise]

The Slut Muppet
C - TBD
1B - Miguel Cabrera:  Just the best player in baseball the last 10 years, that's all.
2B - DJ LeMahieu:  Best French player since Moses Alou.
SS - Ian Desmond:  20/20 player puts his defensive woes behind him to patrol LF in hitter friendly Arlington.
3B - Matt Carpenter:  Best Carpenter since Jesus.
CI - TBD, but it'll be great.
MI - TBD, though Carpenter can player there after I land a late round steal at 3B.
OF - Andrew McCutcheon:  This is where the wheat separates from the chaff, boys.
OF - Yoenis Cespedes:  Move to a hitter's paradise worked wonders for the Cuban wunderkind.
OF - Lorenzo Cain:  All he does is lead his team to World Series championships.
OF - Kole Calhoun:  25 HR and 100 RBI behind Figgins, Trout and Pujols.
OF - TBD, but it could be Cosjobs and I'm still winning.
UTIL - TBD
UTIL - TBD

SP - Chris Archer:  Best young pitcher in the game of baseball
SP - Carlso Martinez:  His changeup comes in at 94 MPH and it's unhittable.
SP - Marcus Stroman:  In his off-season, he attends college at Duke and studies how to get guys out.
SP - Drew Smyly:  Seriously, this K/9 stud is my 4th arm?  
RP - Brad Ziegler:  Submariner just baffles big league hitters every summer.
RP - JJ Hoover:  Trade of Aroldis opened the door for this big time closer.

To be fair, Figgins did sign with the Angels today.

 

[Mr. Pickles]

Domingo Santiago OF

You early, but I want him and doubt he'd last much longer

Domingo Santana still available. 

 

[Chemical X]

Really happy with my team so far. Only thing I would change is taking Schwarber in the 3rd. I didn't realize catchers would fall so far since Posey went so early.

this is something an escaped mental patient would put together.

SS.  Manny Machado

OF.  Startling Marte, Gregory Polanco, Brandon Belt

SP.  Steven Strasburg, Tyson Ross, Steven Matz, Taijuan Walker

RP.  Aroldis Chapman, Santiago Casilla, Fernando Rodney

 

[General Malaise]

14.9 - Daniel Murphy, American Hero

Murphy is hitting just .174/.208/.261 through 23 at-bats to begin spring training.
It's not exactly an auspicious debut for Murphy in a Nationals' uniform.

Going along swimmingly.

Trying to make people in 2 drafts hate you?

Stupid autocorrect

I was making people hate me in Cake before you even knew what Cake was. Get back to work on:

RP.  Aroldis Chapman, Santiago Casilla, Fernando Rodney

strong OF, SP seems well established and a given, RP has zero risk and love the upside of pujols.  schoop and frazier have strong OBP skills.

good job here.

God dammit

14.9 - Daniel Murphy, American Hero

I love that you made this pick right after your commentary. 

 

[Capella]

Guess I should've taken Darvish over Colome. Thought I had another round. 

 

[cheese]

14.12 Wil Myers of

 

[Buckfast 1]

God dammit 

I couldn't let Darvish slip any further.  I'll take 20 starts of 11 K/9 filth at the end of the 14th round.  Sounds like his throwing program is going well so far.

 

[Bogart]

God dammit 

If it makes you feel any better, Yu wasn't getting past my turn.

 

[Capella]

If it makes you feel any better, Yu wasn't getting past my turn.

It doesn't. I should've taken him over my last pick. 

 

[Buckfast 1]

14.12 Wil Myers of

That's who I was going to take if Capella had taken Darvish instead of a career fringe starter/middle reliever who might be in the mix for closer-by-committee saves for a couple months.

Lool

look at his bullpen numbers. They're dominant. Who is going to take the saves? Steve Geltz?

I have him in my home league and hope your optimism bears fruit. I think that k rate is a long shot this year though. 

 

[Chemical X]

 

[Chemical X]

It doesn't. I should've taken him over my last pick. 

don't worry, plenty of half season pitchers coming off reconstructive surgery left.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

George Foster, blackest person I ever met. If he stood in front of a black curtain, no way you could see him. 

 

[Bogart]

14.13 - Russell Martin - C

 

[Capella]

don't worry, plenty of half season pitchers coming off reconstructive surgery left.

Thinking about a few other guys coming off that their first season back makes me feel better. 11k/9 is a pipe dream. 

 

[Buckfast 1]

I have him in my home league and hope your optimism bears fruit. I think that k rate is a long shot this year though. 

Eh, pitchers who undergo Tommy John surgery usually don't see a significant drop in their K/9 rate post-surgery.  According to FiveThirtyEight.com, pitchers who undergo TJ surgery see an average decrease of only 0.06 K/9 following surgery.  I expect that Darvish will probably see his BB/9 increase a bit given that he is only a year out from surgery now, but I am optimistic that his K/9 rate will remain elite. 

 

[Bogart]

@Dan Lambskin @John Bender are up.

Can I get a text when they pick? I'm leaving the office and having dinner with my son.

tell me who you want, and i'll grab them

I know way too much about what bogart is up to nightly.

Ohhhh......you have NO idea.

Eh, you are talking about a guy that depends on throwing 6 pitches to maintain that k rate. I don't see it, 9/9 sounds right but I'll be glad to be wrong. Next year though I have an ace for $5

14.14 Raisel Iglesias - SP - CIN

15.01 Justin Turner - 3B - LAD

 

[St. Louis Bob]

Chem Ex, how come no cappucino after breakfast while in Italy?  Also, my wife has a really bad back and plans on wearing athletic shoes while site seeing.  Is she going to be considered a power hoosier?

14.14 Raisel Iglesias - SP - CIN

15.01 Justin Turner - 3B - LAD

Was waiting to take Turner with my next pick.
