Looks more like a 2nd round prospect pick to me...there are some no-doubt prospects still out there. In other words, great player, but probably would have still been around for a bit.[/quote:84a746e1ad]
Maybe, but before the draft began, I had 3 players in mind, Castro, Ackley, and Montero. Heading into 2011, I'd have 4 2nd basemen (Ackley) and 2 (maybe 3) catchers (Montero), so while I might have drafted either of those two had I not moved up, I would have given serious thought to drafting the SS position with Gordon. It's doubtful Gordon would have made it back to him, and if he really wanted a SS, may as well draft him first. Heck, I might even draft one more come pick 24. :wink:
