So we're giving Dinger a B- on that pick, right?
-
Like most Cards prospects, Harrison Bader looks annoyingly good. But like most Cards prospects these days, him grabbing a starting role at any point will be a bit of a crap shoot. Just so much competition in that organization to have to surpass. Just ask Tommy Pham - 1.5 WAR in only 50 games last year, and this year he doesn't even get a chance. In almost every other organization he would have been anointed... as something in 2016.

I feel pretty even about it. I needed something else on offense anyway and it made sense for my team and timeline - with Villar fully entrenched as a first division SS now and Reyes maybe coming back soon I could afford to trade the SS depth. I shopped Turner and Manaea and other pieces aggressively for a big bat and Puig was basically as "big" as it got. It was Puig or JUpton - pick your poison. The price tags on Braun and Cespedes were higher and I got dead air on most other inquiries. I was motivated to do a trade before the cutdown, for obvious reasons. I think KK made the smart choice in not promoting Turner. Prospects need to force their way up in this league IMO. Hopefully Yazl Pweeg can get healthy..

So many big trades happening during this draft. Yazl Pweeg, DeGrom, Schwarber, Lester, Dealin Betances... Turner, JP Crawdad.

The draft is roaring along, and with all of the close proximity picks for people remaining, we should be done extremely quickly this year. DDL looking good, as always.

"Am a playoff team" = never made the playoffs

Top end seems thinner than usual but it's not drastically different. Last year's draft flattened off after pick 6. 2014 and 2013 don't look amazing throughout the top - elite names are kind of randomly dispersed in the first round or two. I guess my point is that the top end of the 2015 draft was special. I don't think this one is much different than the two drafts before 2015.

deal

Well we let playoff finishes dictate the bottom 8 picks. SVG won't get it done when it matters this year.
-
I just looked up some reports. He actually sounds good. I'm expecting Ace version of Marco Estrada with more fastball, in Marlins Park.
-
Literally just did this and decided to take Chris Paddack, small sample size be damned. I see KK on the spreadsheet and he is up.
-
I'm here! Give me ten minutes to sort the entire minor leagues by wRC+ and K-BB%

It's his name backwards lol

Hmmm I'll give you my Round 2 waiver for them
-
Oh I'll take those in the trade if you don't mind. Might be upgrades for me, slightly?
-
confirmed
-
Cut Rookie Davis, William McKinney, and Harold Ramirez. Trea Turner extremely likely to be on the move before midnight. Dangle your big fish if you haven't already...
-
Picks don't disappear until the deadline tonight
-
A Rod or Jepsen for pick upgrade? Anyone?
-
Sammy is cutting Chi Chi and Funkhouser
-
lol
-
The farm system is so depleted at the upper levels that they kind of need to draft a lot of boring college dudes anyway... like it or not.
-
f***, I guess I need to change my sig now

Anecdotes are useless in this conversation and you should know it. Nobody in our leagues would have drafted an 18th rounder in 2010, just like nobody in the DDL drafted Tanner Houck in 2014. Being said, I find it easy to believe that Bryant, if he signed out of HS, would/could have debuted at 20 or 21, a la Correa, Fernandez, Lindor, etc etc etc.
