JAMES BEST DUKES MEMORIAL LGE draft thread.

Fernandez was my unquestioned next pick.

I guess it's good to know I wasn't gonna get him anyway...he was mine too.

DAMN...wish I HADN'T contacted him. can only imagine who tom is gonna SNATCH. one after another after another...

Hey, I'm gonna pick in a minute, but I've been agonizing over this next choice since last night....really Fernandez & Gomez were the logical/obvious next choices (despite my "two handfuls" comment, which was a total misdirect), and now I'm flailing. There are no "obvious" next picks now; the total offensive studs left are either fragile or one-sided, and the best of the pitchers are gone.....I'm stymied.

An unenthusiastic pick.

echo everything tom said...it was either goldschmidt or that guy...at least I don't have to worry about injury roll on 9

Ha, MEAT! Soler was def a short-list guy, very nearly picked him. But RF seems fairly deep...then again, so is 1B. Like I said, I'm flailing.
