4.09 Justin Turner, 3B

@Northern Voice

was hoping he kept slipping. nice get

turner > bregman

 

[scoobus]

Turner was my #1 hitter I looked at at the turn.

 

[Spartans Rule]

If Turner made it all the way back to 4.20 I would’ve been pissed I already took Rendon.

 

[the moops]

ok, enough turner #### sucking

who is up?

Guy from Canada.  Texted him.   

 

[Northern Voice]

Catching up

Catching up

What, NO APOLOGY???

I know, right? And he’s CANADIAN! Being sorry is their baseline emotional level.

4.10 - Lance McCullers, SP

4.09 Justin Turner, 3B

@Northern Voice

I don't get turner......numbers are all over the place.  was kind of a journeyman.  all of a sudden at age 32 improves his eye dramatically when it should be going the other way.  he keeps proving me wrong though.

4.10 - Lance McCullers, SP

that hurts, man

HGH is a hellava drug

I would've been praying for McCullers to make it to me but I knew he was never getting past you.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

4.10 - Lance McCullers, SP

that hurts, man

I considered him at 3.4

 

[cosjobs]

I considered him at 3.4

I was either going Bregman or McCullers on my last pick. 

 

[jfranco77]

Last year I was in a similar spot and I picked a guy who wasn't really an outfielder, but whose team was sticking him in the outfield. So as not to spotlight I'll say his name was Dumbo. It ended badly.

I have learned nothing. 

4.11 Rhys Hoskins, "OF"

 

[cosjobs]

Wow. So many flawed and questionable SP options here

4.10 Rhys Hoskins, "OF"

I was probably going to take him this round. Kinda glad you did so I can take something I actually need and not be blinded by that awesome bat.

 

[jfranco77]

Wow. So many flawed and questionable SP options here

Which is why I said screw it and just took a hitter. A decision I'll surely regret when there are even more questionable pitchers available 40 picks from now.

 

[SoCalBroncoFan]

Wow. So many flawed and questionable SP options here

It’s always nice to have options.

 

[Northern Voice]

I considered him at 3.4

I considered McCullers last round too. I passed on him for Stroman who is much more likely to hit 200 IP IMO. I'm sure he fell for that same reason but great upside.

 

[cosjobs]

Luke "the Dream" Weaver SP STL

 

[cheese]

for others who are easily confused like me, Hoskins was 4.11

 

[Doug B]

@Eephus

 

[Eephus]

4.13 Xander Bogaerts SS

@SoCalBroncoFan

 

[SoCalBroncoFan]

4.14 Zack Godley SP ARZ

Luke Weaver got sniped 2 picks ahead of me. 

AARRRGGGHHH!!!

 

[rodg12]

I almost took Weaver at 4.4, but opted for the more veteran Gio Gonzalez after taking Berrios in round 3.

 

[scoobus]

@cheese

 

[Kraft...]

I just put top 10 lists together at every position, lets see how that lasts until my next pick 

One less SP Godley

You should be able to pick up a catcher

the pitchers that are going here

4.15 Rich Hill

...says the new guy in for a serious eye-opening. 

 

[Kraft...]

the pitchers that are going here

at least 7-8 starting pitchers from each MLB team will get drafted, it's insane

 

[Frostillicus]

p Ervin Santana, MIN

 

[Doctor Detroit]

the pitchers that are going here

Elite pitchers have 4 ERAs in this thing. Imagine what a #4 starter will do. 

 

[scoobus]

For the record, I didn't take a pitcher until round 5 last year.

 

[cosjobs]

p Ervin Santana, MIN

He was the backbone of my staff last year

 

[Koya]

He was the backbone of my staff last year

Kyle Hendricks and four pitchers who have not yet even been drafted comprised the starting rotation for the best regular season record in one of the two Leagues.

Creativity helps.

 

[Bogart]

Ninth round here, and it worked out. Sorta.

 

[Greco]

4.17 Patrick Corbin SP AZ

@the moops

 

[Doug B]

Kyle Hendricks and four pitchers who have not yet even been drafted ...

Can't remember -- from your 2017 BTTF squad, did you move Jake Arietta at some point?

 

[Spartans Rule]

Hendricks was my savior 2 years ago. Got him in the 6th round after going bat heavy early. Really didn't think it was a pick with much upside, I just needed a body.

 

[the moops]

need a few

 

[Koya]

Can't remember -- from your 2017 BTTF squad, did you move Jake Arietta at some point?

Yes I did.  He was my first round selection (and wasn't bad, but didn't live up to the billing). Even with his relative drop off, helped me get a top offense and defensive 3B along with a starter who "should have" been just about as good as Arrieta if not better*

* He wasn't.  

 

[SoCalBroncoFan]

I seriously considered drafting a team with 3 superstar hitters and then drafting 20 starting pitchers and 27 relievers and trading off all the excess pitching for hitting to build a lineup. There are always like 10 teams with an extra full-time hitter or two that goes wasted. 

Could be an absolute train wreck, but I would still win more games than RnR did last year....

 

[Koya]

need a few... starting pitchers

AMIRITE?

 

[the moops]

4.18 Julio Teheran - SP

Sorry for delay fellas

 

[Spartans Rule]

@Chemical X is up.
