I know. Supposedly he was going to get some play there when Hart played first to give Aram a breather.

I was about to say, If you dont notice I dont believe in going for youth and promise...I like guys doing it now.
MSU...you have the exact opposite approach.

Only reason I drafted Bauer is because he will more than likely start the reason in the show.
I drafted Alvarez, and I'm sure I'll end up dropping him. There isn't shite at 3B outside of the starters and I was going to take a chance; only 1 other guy I had interest in and he didn't even get drafted...

These are my opinions. I haven't read any of the other predictions, i've been typing these. and i dont know who 9 of the 12 teams belong too, so no biases here. Good luck to everyone
1. Team 31- strong group of keepers to start. 2 top 5 OF, & 3 really good pitchers. Dude hit the draft out of the park. One of the top 2 drafts overall. His picks from rounds 7-14 put his team over top. Got known commodities instead of reaching of unknown up & comers.
2. Barry- Barry's first 5 picks were pretty much better than some of the keepers in this league. Beckett & Ubaldo should pay off big time. Beltran and LoMo to put in his OF. Very solid. I thought he had one of the 3 best keeper sets to begin with. Could be "1a", but i put him at 2 cause i liked 31's draft better.
3. Heir 2 Throne- Strong, strong set of keepers. Prob the best overall balanced in the league. CbY & Swisher were 2 solid additions at the top, then 2 solid closers. Up & down his draft wasn't great, but it was good enough at the top, along with his keepers, to put at 3.
4. Dumbass Cajun-His draft was the only one that stacked up with 31's. I feel that his first 14 picks will be assets. That's pretty damn good ratio. His keepers were solid. If Howard comes back to strength, should be a playoff team.
5. Hot Stove- His keepers were well selected based on balance alone. His draft was also solid. First 7 picks i really liked. He absolutely stole Carlos Pena. And keep an eye on Allen Craig. If Mat Latos pitches like an ace, he will be fine. If not, his SP needs to add some depth.
6. Louis T- Louie's keepers, ehh, not that pretty. But will be productive. His first 5 picks were some of the best in the league. I like Bauer and Belt too. His picks in Rd 11-15 were awesome value which vaulted him to #6 on my list. He needs Dempster or Edwin Jackson to really step up.
7. Giambi Mustache- I didn't like him keeping Andrus or Mauer, but sometimes you have to go with what you have. I will say this, he has a 6 deep pitching staff. On offense he picked up Papi & Berkman, who if healthy, will pick up that slack of keeping light hitting Elvis and Mauer. Willingham in the 9th was a steal, Yunel in the 17th was the steal of the draft. Seriously?
8. Toula- Toula loaded up on arms in the draft, which may pay off, but i thought he should have added some pop early in the draft. 1st hitter he took was in the 5th, and it was Kendrys, who is boom or bust. He's going to have to depend on him, Quentin, Boesch, & Vernon Wells for pop. EEK! Toula has a track record though, and should make it work.
9. Team Swag- I like the youth on his team..Solid keepers. His staff could be scary-good...Or scary bad. How will Pineda handle NY? Darvish? Hudson? He backed it up with some decent depth, but boom or bust there. On the hitting front, had one of the worst drafts in the league. I like Rasmus's potential for a breakout though.
10. CE Tiger- I dont like the fact he only kept 1 pitcher, but adding Shields & Romero in the 1st/2nd was huge. Luebke was a huge reach. I saw his hitting keepers as middle of the pack, and overall I thought he had a bad draft on the hitting front. The only guy i really like was Mat Gamel. And he's a huge question mark. Keeping 1 pitcher kept him from adding bats early in the draft. Killed his team make up.
11. GingerPaps- I saw a keeper set with some questions. Tommy Hanson & Carl Crawford have injury problems. Ike Davis is an unknown. David Wright coming off a bad year. Desmond Jennings unproven. Too many ??? for my liking. I thought he did a good job getting some impactful bats early in the draft. But he totally ignored SP. If all goes right and the guys i mentioned earlier come through, he could move up 4-5 spots. His 4/5 SP are Volquez and Cahill, which is not ideal with an injury prone Hanson.
12. Red Cross- We go from question marks with team above, to more here. Bryce Harper/Jason Heyward/Buster Posey/Adam Wainwright/Strasburg/Netafali Feliz. Look don't get me wrong. Those guys may have more promise than any other keeper group. Stras, Posey and Wainwright coming off injury though. How will they respond? Heyward coming off a bad year and having a bad spring. How will Feliz take to being a starter? How much time will Harper see? That is not what has him in last at this point. His draft was just horrible too. Im just searching for the value & impact players here to pick up the slack of these ???'s. Ryan Roberts and Bonafacio are the 2nd and 3rd hitters taken. Neil Walker was first. Confusing. I liked the Zimmerman pick, as well as Billingsley in middle of the draft. Look, if he can get anything from Bay and Morneau, he may be able to salvage something here. Going back to his keepers, i think those guys should perform rather well. But the question marks are there. and the draft was bad, which puts him in 12th.
