Just getting back to this. Damn, thought the report said he was a roster lock but starting uncertain.

New league, new team, no protection. He's going to be lonely in Oakland I would think.

Id like to hear Bmac thoughts if he reads this by any chance.

Eta: and a scouting report on Peacock & Parker plz

Took him in the 15th round tonight, so that's a steal imo because there's really no risk there.

If he was a MI then you'd be right buy OF is stacked.

Yeah, that definitely affects it.

Our league is a keeper, so I may look at him a little higher than 12-15, but I'm glad I thought about it more before making a plunge too early.

Someone will reach on him early. If it isn't you, you aren't going to get him. Not saying it's right or wrong, but someone will be intrigued enough with him to reach on him.

Keeper league drafts are difficult to predict. Everyone will reach and "overpay" for their guys at some point.

If you want Cespedes, then go for him. I typically have one or two guys a year that I'm willing to reach a couple rounds early for.

Just make sure you follow them up with a lot of safe picks after.

Yeah, that's kind of my thought with it.

I have a pretty good nucleus already, and I'm going to wind up with one of Miggy, Tulo or Cano tonight to add to it, so I guess I'll just have to see where I'm at when it comes to the area where I'm comfortable taking him.

I like how Barry was saying he went in the 6th round in the dat keeper draft was supposed to be some concrete reason to draft him late Lulz

Joe Magarane made a good point. That big swing he has is going to turn into K's once the season gets going. i kind of agree

He's hitting fastballs a long way

Pitchers will figure him out and start throwing off speed to him. He will still hit 25 though IMO

Wish redd would participate more. Thinking about starting a vote to kick him out. Hate to do it.
