(Insert realmins pick here) was a terrible pick. I dont know what min was thinking to select (insert realmins pick here). He will be dropped by May.

I agree both are bad. Personally I think Choo could still contribute in OBP and be useful but I have enough old vet OF/UTIL bats as is so wanted to swap one for pitching and I'm hoping Miller can somehow rebound.

It's not like these were bad picks at the time. A lot of this was getting unlucky. It goes to show how easy it is for high picks and good prospects to flame out and lose value.
Even looking at the different from finishing 18th to 20th. 15-18 is a death zone. Look how unlucky Boxy got in the lottery. TCA and z3r0s take home Abreu + Tanaka, while Boxy takes Eddie Butler two picks later..
A lot seemed to go well though so I don't think a lot of rebuilds will go as smoothly. Getting a stud like Tanaka from the waiver draft, a lot of the prospects building on their resume, a Story breakout. Not to take anything away from z3r0s, he did an amazing job with all these trades and is impressing with the moves he just made -- I just think it will be a rarity for teams to pull it off as smoothly as he did.

Scary good and young.. the next dynasty.
I predict:
Dinger, Silver, Silvio, Njh as division winners.
EDIT: Turkey Bacon is a super close race. North, TCA, and njh could all easily take it. Especially if TCA has someone other than TDA as his starting UTIL.
