Alright, I've decided what player I want to pick. Let's get these next 10 picks done with quickly so I don't have to sweat too long.

I want to give credit on a few of the picks that came of the board late 1st and the start of the 2nd.
Though I loathe to give Joe any credit for his draft picks, the Teidemann was fire. He had helium and deserved to be picked in the 1st.
I can't say enough about how interesting Connor Prielipp is as an arm. This is the type of guy that traditionally slips in our drafts. Looks like the league scouting is getting real good.
This kid Gordon Graceffo is a velo popup guy. He fell outside my scouting model, but I know he has a chance to be good. Love to see high floor guys get some love.
I mean, everyone knows I love guys like Rafaela. D first and power are basically the only reasons I draft CFs anymore.
I'm trying to add more Mariners to my farm, so a special shout out for Edwin Arroyo.

1. Houston is really Krug’ing up the draft.
2. I don’t know why you’d *intentionally* want to add more Mariners to your system, unless you’re an M’a fan. That organization destroys every prospect outside of Julio Rodriguez.

That organization destroys every prospect outside of Julio Rodriguez. Sean and I are both Mariner fans. Patrick too. And they've gotten a lot better when it comes to developing pitchers. But I avoid Mariner hitting prospects like I do Rockies pitching prospects.

Hmm. Sounds like Matt Kevin must be an M’s fan by extension then.
That will never get old. Ever.

] For starters, I want to know what scenario caused the Flores parents to name both brothers “Wilmer.” I’ve only heard of George Foreman pulling that off before. Raul Mondesi sees nothing wrong with this.

I am actually an Angels fan. Its hard to be objective and not just want to draft all there players. It even crossed my mind to draft there shortstop they just picked up. I am mostly just trying to take the best available player for my needs.

I am mostly just trying to take the best available player for my needs. I'm a Tiger fan. In my two picks so far, they've both been Tiger players. I feel you.

Jackson Ferris was on my list of guys I had hoped would drop to 5.01.

Absolutely excellent pick by Philly of Steer. I thought he had already been taken. I think Longenhangen is underrating him over at FG, and while I don't think he'll be a star, I think he'll be better than a utility player like Longenhangen predicted pre-season.

2-19 KC Royals select Carson Whisenhunt, LHP, East Carolina - SF Giants Org This is going to be an interesting one to follow. He was the top college pitcher on my board when you took him, Nate, but I admit the PED suspension for the whole season worried me. Made me wonder how much of his previous accomplishments were real and how much were aided.

I don't think PEDs affect pitchers the same way they do hitters. I think the only real advantage they give them is quicker recovery time. I don't think they necessarily add mph to a fastball like PEDs add to a hitter's HR power.

I don't think they necessarily add mph to a fastball like PEDs add to a hitter's HR power. Adding arm strength is typically not the goal of PEDs for pitchers. Usually it's adding leg strength and back strength to aid in both velo and recovery. An article I read many years ago about Clemens and the accusations against him explained it better. I'm literally butchering it. There are performance benefits though beyond just recovery.

I have the spreadsheet updated through 3.01, I think. Please check your roster to make sure I have your newly drafted player(s) on it, spelled correctly, and listed correctly, etc.
Ed, you can disregard this post for now.

With their first pick in this draft, Detroit will... Detroit had three 1st round picks.

Kinda shocked this guy hasn't been taken yet. Searched for him many times, so hopefully I didn't miss anything. Jordan Beck, OF - Tennessee (Rockies draft pick) I love it when people answer their own questions. And yeah, I get it. The Rockies have developed hitters. But if you put your trust in anything Monfort touches, you're just playing with fire.

Cleveland selects Tanner Bibee, SP , Cleveland organization Dangit. Bibee was a guy I considered when I took Graceffo. Thought he was going to make it to me. So close, yet so far.

I had a 5th round grade on him because I haven't seen recent video of his pitches. Command first guy that was on the rise. I hope the pick works out. He was one of my more interesting follows.

You can thank Cleveland regional scout Keith Law for bringing him to my attention. Was all ready to go a different direction until 24 hours ago. Hoping he pays off, seems to have some momentum right now.

LAD's quest for middle of the order collegiate hitters who beat the piss out of the ball in college and had success in wooden bat leagues continues with Max Wagner, 3B, Baltimore Orioles Organization. And another one bites the dust. This pick is value.
