Day 2 draft thread

You choose unwisely my friend.

I grew up at a time when the Skins were dominant and the O's had Ripken. The Nats and Ravens didn't exist. It's not a choice, it's definitely involuntary.

By the way, I'd love to see a nice overslot pick, and Kevin Brady, sometime in the next 5 rounds. I actually like our 1, 3 and 5 picks, and am ok with our 2 pick.

Why the dislike for Simon?

Why the dislike for Simon?

Because he doesn't have any margin for error, from my brief reading of him. Stuff seems average.

Seatle up. James Benrippa? Ranch Cucamonga?

I think the focus on these pitchers comes down to the fact that teams like KC and SD(last year mostly) have shown how important BP arms are and how you can use mostly unheralded guys who are fairly young. And the picks that TOR and TB got in the sandwich round mostly came from there FA relievers.

This is also dependent on the draft not changing anything besides slotting and possibly trades, but it is not the worst strategy. Take a guy in the 4-6th round, have him in the majors in 2 years so he can help your pen for less than 500k, then lose him to FA in a few years only to replace him with another MiL and a sandwich pick. Just a thought...

Well, that wasn't a conservative pick.

Interesting, Stotle didn't seem that impressed for the money it might take.

Darn it. I was still hoping we went for Osigh. Pending medicals, he'd have been nice in this range.

Of course...It may cost 3-4 million to sign him but may be worth it..Lots of upside there.
