Yeah you're right. I probably would have looked further but I liked the sound of Randolph better than my stat scout targets and felt the risk is probably similar.
E: Actually I take that back and am now filled with regret. Someone trade me a pick for a prospect + something.
That why I got him in the 5th round? None of my guys have debuted yet because I stat scouted them really young. The second draft I was a moron and took all recent draftees, which was a mistake, but also not stat scouted.
chill out guy
I got two sexy college bats already and was going back and forth between a couple of pitchers and a couple of bats. Randolph's profile somewhat intriguing, but then my GF said she liked his name so I grabbed him.
There is an extra tab on the DDL spreadsheet FYI, all picks and draft order can be discerned there. Thanks for picking Allard, not sure I'd have passed but also not sure I want the risk.
That's why you shouldn't stat scout, even if lots of scouting publications loved him more after he continued putting up big numbers. Always better to go for the Albert Almora types.
