Yeah, even though I don't care all that much for Jeter, it would have been hard to pass on him had he fallen to us.
Ichiro is a decent player, but NO power at all and decent, but not great OB limits his offensive production to me. Great glove however. Of course, he *will* play every single game for you so there's something to be said for that.
Your comments on Napoli are exactly why we traded down. Just didn't see anyone that we just *had* to have. In fact, had I known that no one would be taking pitching, we probably would have traded both picks to Smokey, who made a very interesting offer. Was anyone looking at Harden??
I think you made a good pick with Balfour, another guy who it would have been tough to pass on had he fallen.
