  1. I'm pretty hot for a prospect, yet I'm actually fairly confident he'll fall to me at 38.
  2. Just heard back from GP, he's around and making his final considerations.
  3. Pick #8 and the 1-1 is still on the board. That says a lot about this draft class.
  4. Boxy told me who he's taking at 3 too. I could just say it, but I dunno if he changed his mind. I very much doubt it.
  5. Jack Flaherty is a good prospect. Any time the Cards draft a pitcher, I'm pretty much in.
  6. Given the lack of elite talent in the 2016 draft, I'd say yes.
  7. Completely untrue, I'm just a very impatient person. I blame the millenials for perpetuating a society that demands instant gratification.
  8. Why don't you take your anus of proof to a league you're actually in?
  9. min emailed me, he's taking Cornelius Randolph 1st overall.
  10. Devil's advocate: Doing our draft before July 1 means we get pro data on the International guys prior to drafting them next year. So now in DDL, we have at least a modicum of data on guys like Yusniel Diaz, rather than blindly drafting them as a 16 year olds, mixed in with all the college and HS kids, trying to decipher their talent level vs. the American kids, and then sitting on them for 10 months before we even see them take an AB in the DSL.
  11. So if you drafted Kris Bryant in 2010 as a Blue Jay and he signed, are you postulating that he would have debuted as a 20 year old instead of a 22 year old? That's pretty dubious. I'd rather have the chance to take a lottery ticket like that and hold onto him for three years; it's nice to at least have that option.
  12. If you turn pro right out of high school or after a couple years of college, how does that make any difference on when you arrive in the majors? If players develop faster in rookie ball than in college, it's not by much. If you have numbers to the contrary, by all means prove me wrong.
  13. What? Read that again. Players drafted out of high school who don't sign go to college, and either way they don't make it to the majors until they're 22/23 on average. The same is true of college players who don't sign, they go back to school for one more year but in the long run it doesn't make much difference as to when they actually arrive in the majors. The only difference is fantasy owners get annoyed at only having college data to look at. Unless they get injured or ruined, it's all the same in the end, and that can happen in college or as a pro.
  14. Not by much if at all. HS guys are still 4 years away and college guys are still 2ish.
  15. Why does it matter if a player signs or not? It doesn't change their talent level or how quickly they'll get to the majors. I would prefer to have the option to draft anyone in the draft, not just players who sign.
  16. Yeah he's not exactly ready, but their SS production was so pitiful it may yet be an upgrade.
  17. Yeah I'm pretty pumped to get this shindig started
