Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the #11 pick is protected. I thought if you failed to sign the player with a comp pick, that you lose it.
Did you guys know that since Phelps went to Notre Dame, he was intellectually superior to everyone else, thus knowing to use the inside move to pick off Melky, AND to not catch a line drive with his bare hand.
I think the overreaction to these last 6 games is hilarious. This is a team that completely terrorized opponents during May. Good opponents too. If you thought they were going to play baseball at that same pace the entire year, give me what you're smoking.
Can't help but think a three way trade with Rasmus going to SEA could work. I was reading a board of theirs, and they are wanting a new CF. Not sure who a third team could be. NYM with Niese perhaps?
