[Jerlins]

Wow, two things happened, one surprising, the other, not so much. I KNEW Hawk would be the one with Posey, I just thought he'd go in RD 2 instead of 1. Discussing the draft with a fellow strat geek at my store, I mentioned I'd really want Posey with pick 2 but would never make it to me because of Hawk. Sadly, I know who your 2nd pick will be too, who I was targeting for RD 3 :cry:

[nythawk129921]

Yeah figured Id better take Posey 1st because I was afraid he might be gone before my 2nd round pick.Still have 2 players on my board so we will see what happens 8-)

[Palmtana]

I discern the keeper-league effect with Bautista's "late" pick. In the other 3 pre-card leagues I've been in he's gone in the 1st Round at #4, #5 and #5. Can he approach what he did this year in the coming season?

[ironwill1]

I had Posey queued up with my 2nd pick.

[ironwill1]

Not sure about Bautista longterm, but next year will be fun. Cabrera, Bautista 3-4.

[tcochran]

Yeah, I have Bautista playing against you in the Finders-Keepers League, Kevin. What a pleasant surprise his 2010 season was!

According to the listing at Fangraphs, the Bill James projection for him in 2011 is still pretty good, although not as great as 2010: 34 HR, .251/.355/.509

[Palmtana]

Cabrera was in the top 4 in all 3 leagues. I took him with the 1st pick in visick's 1st pre-card league. I was going back and forth between he and Gonzalez and chose Miguel because he's a righty who hit's righties. Wish I would have picked Cargo though. So we'll be seeing you at Kaufmann then, ironwill?
