Well those last four picks came off the board pretty fast.

I really like Vientos. Drafted him in my other league and was considering taking him here if he kept falling. Good swing path and power already but he's skinny as a rail. When he fills out (doesn't turn 18 for 5 or 6 months) I think he's gonna have 60 or more game power.

JIm Remind me again how many World Series you've been in. In the entire history of this league you've won 10 total playoff games. I won more than that in 2011 alone. |

...which is ironically only 7 less than the entire amount you've won this season.

Giants willing to pay cash for an extra pick this year. 5M+ available.

I really like Vientos.... When he fills out (doesn't turn 18 for 5 or 6 months) o Joe, that's gross. (Coming from the guy who picked the 2nd best 17 year old in the world) |

Assuming Sierra wasn't his guy, the current pick has been traded to Texas (pending approval of course).

On a side note, I was happy to see my 2015 3rd round pick, Miguel Andujar, get the call-up to the bigs. It's only to fill in for an injury, but he just got promoted to AAA after hitting .312 .342 .494 .836 in AA as a 22 yr old.

It's going to take a lot of patience, but I think Sierra was a really good pick for KC. I know that K-Law really loves him as one of his sleeper prospects. |

He was in the mix for me at 4.1 if Hernandez was gone and would have been the pick if I did not get Tejeda in the 3rd round. |

Great pick of Adam Frazier this late in the draft. I wasn't totally sure he was eligible, but nicely done if he is.

I don't know if this is an actual question but Frazier is an eigible pick for this draft.

Kept wondering how long he would last on the board. I was chatting about him since day one. He might never fill the stat sheet, but he can hit and play multiple positions, making him an easy fit on any 25 man roster.

Im happy to get Frazier. My plan going into this draft was strictly upside, but as time went on Frazier looked more legit. Glad to get a useful swiss army knife in the 4th. If all my other picks bust at least I will get a utility guy out of this draft...

I'm glad Genesis Cabrera is off the board. It just makes my decisions easier. I wasn't debating taking him at 4.9 at all. I didn't stay up 3+ hours last night juggling names like Genesis freaking Cabrera and Jacob bleeping Gonzalez while figuring out my obviously uninspired pick. That didn't happen at all and I'm not upset in the least.

Trade the pick to me for C Yan Gomes and his 1.5 WAR. It absolutely feels like a deal you would make.
Then, you will no longer have a difficult decision. It will be made for you.

One more pick then I finally get to make a selection!
I can't believe the guys I targeted for the 4th round are still there. I do suck at scouting, but this makes me feel like I really suck.

It looks like Patrick has just under an hour left to make a pick. If his 24 hours expires he can still pick until such time as Michael submits a valid Padres pick. Once that happens, the Seattle pick is lost... forever!

Just picked. Sorry about the delay... life got in the way.
Hope he's available.. never had the chance to check the rosters.

Looks like Colby has under an hour to pick. Same as before, once his 24 hours expires he can still choose until the team after him, Michael again, makes a pick.

I was wondering when Granite would go in this draft. I am surprised he lasted as long as he did. I added him to my list late last season or early last offseason, but I worried about his lack of power and Gathright-itis. But he is the kind of player you can enjoy rooting for because nothing is ever going to come easy for him and he's going to have to be a gamer his entire career.

The overall hit tool looks impressive though, espiacially in CF. I guess it depends on how high you think the OBP needs to be in order to support the low SLG %? |
