Wondering if anyone is gonna take a gamble on Courtney Hawkins towards the end of this draft.

 

The strikeout rate is disgustingly terrible, but the power isn't (.355 ISO!!!) and the age vs. level isn't either (19 in A+ is very solid).

 

The K rate was way lower last year, so it's possible that he's working on something right now.

 

lol, nvm he got drafted in February

I have like, 9 or 10 guys on my board that I still really like. 4 more picks but don't pick again until R4.

 

Every time my email gets a bump I say a little prayer to the ghost of the prospect version of Jesus Montero, asking that he spare my top targets.

I got some serious wide-eye when you said he was still available. Was defs thinking 'how to f*** did I not know he was unowned"

Hawkins is owned, Yahoo has ISO Horny owning him. I was shocked to read NJH's comment too.

 

One guy who isn't owned that I'm surprised about is Andrew Heaney, the #9 pick in the 2012 draft. Not a huge ceiling, but everyone thinks he profiles to be a good #3/4 type. And he was a top 10 pick just last year!

 

Jesus man, STFU. Some of us havent picked yet.

Name dropping in that sense is pretty retarded.

If we could just refrain from talking about undrafted prospects until the draft concludes, that would be a great use of common courtesy. I'm sitting on a list of guys I want and I really don't appreciate it getting cherrypicked because someone got alerted to a prospect they'd overlooked.

I traded my 1st, 2nd and 3rd for Harvey and Andrus. I'm OK with it.

 

I'm so jealous of Harvey... wanna trade him for Kohl Stewart, Nick Ciuffo, and however I draft next? That all works out right?

Me too :( Gibbers will rue the day he passed on Byron Buxton.

I think I just traded for the Elvis Andrus of CFs.

 

Basically.

 

Almost identical career slashies. Bourn has more SB upside, but he's also way older and CF isn't even close to as scarce as SS.

Meh, Bourn is probably Juan Pierre going forward, I think in general he's an overrated fantasy player. Still, I needed a CF and SBs so he was a great fit. I've been harassing Sammy for awhile to get him.

I've been supremely disappointed with him in my other fantasy league. I hope he picks up the steals for both our sakes.

You gonna call up Bo Puig soon? Or are you leaving him in the minors until the super 2 cutoff?

 

I don't believe in leaving my prospects down until the super 2 cutoff just so I can save a little cash.

 

He's being blocked by Victorino in the OF, and Howard at DH. So if someone wants to help poor Puig out and trade for one of those guys so that he has a spot to start, I'm sure Puig would be very grateful.

Have you thought about the email I sent on the weekend? Am definitely now willing to move the prospect you're interested in.

 

The Iwakuma Sweepstakes are heating up!

Were you ever featured on the show "Hoarders"? Because you have a s*** ton of pitchers.

Yes, it is. I'm just waiting for you guys to believe he's for real. He was money in Japan, and great ever since the Mariners started starting him. He's over 30, but he's Asian and those guys stay healthy and live forever, just ask Boxy's great great grandparents.

Well guys I think it is finally time for me to sell high on JPA who has been out of the lineup for a long ass time lol. If anyone has some good used bats that have been sawed off that will be the going rate. The guy is a top 5 catcher.... at something. Whose in?!?
