So I autodrafted based on my pre-rank - here's my squad:
C - Buster Posey
1B - Joey Votto
2B - Daniel Murphy
3B - Josh Harrison
SS - Jean Segura
LF - Justin Upton
CF - Andrew McCutchen
RF - Jason Heyward
Util - Prince Fielder
BN - Wil Myers
BN - Trey Turner
BN/DL - Johnny Peralta
SP - Masahiro Tanaka
SP - Michael Pineda
SP - Wei-Yin Chen
SP - James Shields
SP/DL - Yu Darvish
RP1 - Andrew Bailey
RP2 - Brandon Finnegan
RP3 - Fernando Rodney
RP4-7 - Shitbags
BN - Trevor Bauer
Auto-draft basically took hitters first and pitchers last, so my offence is completely stacked. Looking to trade for an ace and decent relievers.
I had thought that we would have the dispersal draft before prospect cut-down/draft, but either way, it works for me. I do like the way that this spreads things out.
Ouch, that sucks big time. Didn't Cyborg do power rankings last year, that basically showed the expected ranking of each team, and how lucky/unlucky they were?
Laine would be fantastic, although anyone in the top 5-6 would be another significant piece. Really hoping that the Pens sneak in at the 7th or 8th seed & lose in the 1st round. 2 top 16 picks would be another great step in the rebuild.
A quick question on the dispersal draft: will our 15 keepers be selected before or after the dispersal draft (i.e. Will our 15 keepers include players taken in the dispersal draft)?
