He was the pitcher I was strongly debating instead of Stroman, and the one I almost selected my last pick rather than a bat. In the end, I like Stroman's stuff a little better which is why I took Stroman. As for taking the bat, I didn't like the idea of only having 2 bats heading into rounds 6 and 7 where things would really start thinning out. I also have Manaea on the farm (and Appel, although I know a lot don't like him), and both should be up sooner rather than later. I just couldn't justify taking that 3rd starting pitcher there. I hope I don't regret it.
