Oh yeah, Kyle did sneak in and get one of those top picks.

Regardless he's still got his starting outfield and 1b for the next 10 years.

It's almost as if he had planned for this long, long ago. Average age of Stoney's team is around 16.

Average age of mine meanwhile is 160.

Remember, although they're high end, they're still prospects (except Abreu), and probably half of them will bust, and by that I mean put up cards that are not that useful in a 12-team league more often that not. Look at Profar as just 1 cautionary tale.

And another for instance - Pederson's D is said to be OK in CF but definitely not above average. So let's say he gets a 3 range year after year and has ongoing trouble with LHPs (as he has had in the minors) but puts up .280/.350/.450 vs RHs. That puts him in the $4-5M salary bracket - maybe useful but not a star.

If Betts can put up a 2 range anywhere his bat should be playable, his floor is probably higher than the other 2 OFs, but I would not go counting chickens on Pederson & Polanco in this format. The bar is so much higher with only 12 teams, it's one reason I will often go for cards early vs. "BPA" in these drafts and save my prospecting for later rounds...

Hi guys, back from ski trip but still on vacation. 70 in Lincoln today so I'll be bookending the ski trip with a little golf

Thanks for the patience while I was gone.

Welcome back Stoney. Bill and I were giving you props for your young upcoming players you drafted. QK has shot down any chance of success in your team's future.

is there any interest in Brandon Phillips for a pick at this point of the draft?
