BTTF 2018: MLB123746 (2 Viewers)

[Eephus]

See I feel like there’s only a few ####ty relievers left, we’re starting to get into the really ####ty relievers now.

We're running out of RPs who have a proven track record and/or a defined role going into the season.  They have a higher probability of success than the pure lottery tickets that will be drafted later.

Relievers are so volatile in this format.  One or two bad outings during the season can have a major impact on their usefulness in the sim.

We’ve been there for awhile now.

34.10 - Daniel Gossett, SP, A's

Only in WIS BTTF can you be really disappointed about loosing out on a guy that had a 6+ ERA last year.

@HellToupee asked to be @ and skipped so he can pick whenever. 

34.23 - Chase Utley - UT 

Bolstered the pitching staff a bit, and think the guys available next go around will be as ####ty as the ones available now, so why not take 200+ PAs of utility and MI. Even if I hope the guy rots in hell (after this season, though)

@TobiasFunke 

Almost a full 10 rounds later than last year. Feels like he was just a first rounder. Would have been an interesting study to see how quickly and how far some guys fall.

 

[Koya]

Collecting Stewarts:

35.2 D.J. Stewart OF BAL

The talk's been about Hays, but Stewart seems to have a decent shot at getting playing time this year.  Team has no pitching, will be out of the playoffs by June, and in that ballpark rookies have certainly had some productive seasons.  Good a shot as any at this point in the draft. 

@HellToupee Skipped by request and has two picks to make up

35.04 SP Drew Smyly/Crubs 

 

[Koya]

Almost a full 10 rounds later than last year. Feels like he was just a first rounder. Would have been an interesting study to see how quickly and how far some guys fall.

Interesting, as his stats last year were if anything, marginally better than the previous (and both better than 2015).

Obviously you have limited upside, but also a near certainty for 200+ and quite possibly 300+ PAs of at least passable offense for a MI.  Defense is the bigger question... but again, it's round 35.  Plus, should something happen at 2B, my other backup (Sogard) is not likely to have anything close to a full complement of PAs, so while not a position of "need" it was as close as anything at this point.

Gotta love Koya's write-ups of 35th rounders

Hey, I do my best to please the fans. 

Plus, not many write ups left other than "saw a news snippet that this guy might be in line to take over a starting spot... at AA ball"

And as I understand it, has some wheels for a fattie.

great grab and hold for 2019

 

[Spartans Rule]

35.5 Adam Engel, CF, White Sox

Just read today he's projected to start in center. A/A+ defense in WIS last year. And if he can increase his OPS by 200 points, he'd... still be a terrible hitter.

Still might throw 20 more innings than HT’s 3rd starter.
