I like to make my pancakes with cinnamon and vanilla. Waffle House All-Star Slam might just be the meal I would choose for a last meal. Winter Draft is a distant third for me if those are the 3 choices. Im a cinnamon and vanilla guy in my pancakes as well but lately I've been using the cake batter flavoring in place of vanilla. There's a restaurant down in Colorado Springs that uses crystallized sugar or something in their pancakes. I couldn't get them to give me any other recipe details. Those are some of the best pancakes I've ever had because they hold together like a good spongy sourdough pancake, but they taste like birthday cake. It's baffling and amazing. |

It was between Ryan and one other guy. But there was more information out on Ryan because the prospect list for the other guy's team still wasn't out on multiple sites. But if both players started out next season hot, Ryan would be a Top 5 draft candidate while the other might still last until late in the 1st.
Only concern now is if Ryan's fastball heavy approach can cut it in the rotation or if he does have to move to the pen.

Well, I guess he isnt dropping to the summer draft. Alcantara was the other player I was looking at. 1500 is releasing the Yankees tomorrow. If its glowing I'm going to be pissed. But I just couldn't find enough on him since the end of last season. Everything was from his signing in 2018.

Surprised Alcantara made it to the penultimate pick. Thought he'd go Top 10 since he was a top five IFA from 2018.

Maybe everyone except Connor was using Ty's search parameters and just couldn't find him

I can't talk myself out of my clear #2 after Ryan got plucked. Ahahahahaha! So tasty. More of a case of throwing the war to win a battle. Waiting 11+ days to make your pick- and then just taking the most obvious guy left on the board anyway- came off like a huge dick move to a lot of GMs in the league. But I guess after not making the Series, you had to take your victories where you could get them. Enjoy Joe Ryan. JIm |

Skip Foreplay’s Winter Draft Review
Baseball’s back bitches! After correctly predicting the Pirates to claw their way to the 2019 title, I’m here to shit all over your precious Winter Draft.
1) Chicago Cubs - Marco Luciano, "SS", San Francisco - Already moving the wrong way on defense, better hope the NL gets a DH. Also, I had a friend named Marco, he sucked at baseball, this one probably will too. Grade: F
2) New York Mets - Julio Rodriguez, OF, Seattle - He’s personable! He taught himself English! The good news is Seattle is great at developing prospects, so I’m sure nothing will go awry here. Grade: F
3) Houston Astros - Luis Matos, OF, San Francisco - I guarantee 75% of you had never heard of this guy before, and for good reason. Described as having “lightning-fast wood” which will probably lead to some performance anxiety down the road. Grade: F
4) Toronto Blue Jays - Orelvis Martinez, SS, Toronto - Needs a Dusty Colorado Twitter stan to be the next Wander Javier. Expect Or-Elvis in one of those “Trade me 1 of your 55s for 3 of my 40s” trade blocks soon. Grade: F
5) Minnesota Twins - Trejyn Fletcher, OF, St. Louis - Quick, name the best player ever from Maine.....No red flags with that 40%+ K rate. Grade: F
6) Washington Nationals - Thad Ward, RHP, Boston - Does this count as a 2 first name guy? If so, you’ve drafted a guy who’ll sit on your reserves until 2029. Grade: F
7) San Francisco Giants - Malcom Nunez, 3B, St. Louis - Nunez is short, fat, slow and can’t hit. His parents also missed an “L” in his name, SF gets one for this pick. Grade: F
8) New York Yankees - Gilberto Jimenez, OF, Boston - super fast and no power. Seems like the kind of guy Zips hates. Grade: F
9) St. Louis Cardinals - Matthew Thompson, RHP, Chicago AL - Nice news: MLB Pipeline ranked him 69th best in ‘19 MLB Draft. Bad news - reports of velocity decline are real, and they’re spectacular. Grade: F
10) Milwaukee Brewers - Emmanuel Clase, RHP, Cleveland - 80% chance Clase gets traded 4 minutes after he’s eligible because Sean shifts his vision for the Brew Crew for the 12th time in a year. Grade: F
11) Boston Red Sox - Jonathan Stiever, RHP, Chicago AL - Gives up a lot of HR and probably has a TJ coming soon with how the White Sox have been going. Grade: F
12) Detroit Tigers - Nick Quintana, 3B, Detroit - Major downgrade because of English first name/Hispanic last name. Also, I have never heard of him, so he probably blows. Grade: F
13) Seattle Mariners - Sam Hilliard, OF, Colorado - A 26 y/o Rockies OF who got a 75 OPS+ and -0.4 WAR projection before the draft. Sounds like a draft pick that was just doused with gas and lit on fire. Grade: F
14) Los Angeles Angels - Diego Cartaya, C, Los Angeles NL - My favorite type of prospect, the 18 year old catcher, what could go wrong? Grade: F
15) Arizona Diamondbacks - Aaron Bracho, 2B, Cleveland - This guy is going to be injured all the time. Mark my fucking words. Grade: F
16) Cincinnati Reds - Randy Arozarena, OF, Tampa Bay - Anyone the TB Rays acquire is automatically great*.
17) Kansas City Royals - Francisco Alvarez, C, New York NL - Oh look, another one of those 18 year old catchers. Next time just pickup a Barely Legal magazine, you’ll get more out of that. Grade: F
18) Philadelphia Phillies - Tommy Edman, GRADE A GRINDER, St. Louis - Congrats on your acquisition of David Eckstein 0.666. Grade: F
19) Cleveland Indians - Ryan Jeffers, C, Minnesota - One of my favorite things to do is steal one of Szymborski’s cats from his basement, bring it upstairs, and have it lick my balls while I’m nailing Dan’s mom. Jeffers shares a lot of the same qualities as that cat. Grade: F
20) Los Angeles Dodgers - Joey Cantillo, LHP, San Diego - Cantillo possesses a fastball that belongs in beer league softball. Grade: F
21) Oakland Athletics - Jhon Torres, OF, St. Louis - Knowing that St. Louis churns out diamonds from crap on a regular basis worries me, but the Midwest League is gonna chew him up. Grade: F
22) Miami Marlins - Aaron Civale, RHP, Cleveland - Shane Bieber he is not. Did you know Civale is Italian for “I am sorry”? Grade: F
23) Texas Rangers - Yoendrys Gomez, RHP, New York AL - Don’t be fooled, this is just Yohander Mendez’s alias. Grade: F
24) Colorado Rockies - Seth Corry, LHP, San Francisco - While being described as “rigid”, “stiff”, and “prone” are usually bad for a pitcher, they seem to be adjectives that many of you desire from the boys you pick. Grade: F
25) San Diego Padres - Antoine Kelly, LHP, Milwaukee - His scouting reports are filled with more ‘ifs’ than IFTTT’s global servers. Grade: F
26) Chicago White Sox - Ivan Herrera, C, St. Louis - My god, you idiots and young catchers. His nickname is Ivan the Terrible for a reason. Grade: F
27) Baltimore Orioles - Joe Ryan, RHP, Tampa Bay - This is the Matt Kevin of names in this draft, so assuredly is a fake persona, and exists only in an alternate universe in the future. Grade: F
28) Atlanta Braves - Josh Green, RHP, Atlanta - Thanks to Dan’s computer wizardry, Josh Green is now making that sweet NSBL money. He’ll be worthless in no time. Grade: F
29) Tampa Bay Rays - Kevin Alcantara, OF, New York AL - Over/Under on the number of dweebs in this league with a countdown clock to when Alcantara turns 18 is 6.5. Grade: F
30) Pittsburgh Pirates - Lane Thomas, OF, St. Louis - If he had a sweet nickname like Night Train he’d be ok, but your Lane is just a lame 8th OF. Grade: F
*- the exception is when they get a dude named Randy, and expect him to contribute. Go pick up his brother Todd while you’re at it. Grade: F

Skip is basically the journalistic equivalent to a cock-sock. Useless, stiff, and filled with the old cum of bitter cast-offs.

Not sure if I like this Skip Foreplay fellow. Seems like he's trying to give Skip McMountme a bad name...
