My draft turned out to be less pitching heavy than I thought it was going to be. Based on the mock drafts I thought I was going to take about 5 SP in the first 8 rounds and maybe 7 in the first 12.

I planned on more pitching also, but wanted to shift it to rounds 4-9. Hoped for both Sasaki & Yamamoto… also Logan Webb, but you snagged him one pick before me.

Funny… I think the only real “homer” picks were of former Cardinals. Goldschmidt, Arozarena, Flaherty & Alcantara all went earlier than I would have expected.

The only pick I’m not thrilled about is Pressly in the 12th round. Wanted Fairbanks there, thought he was gone when he wasn’t, and pivoted.

I planned to go hitter heavy and ended up with 6 pitchers in the first 9 rounds.

Two relievers in 8 rounds.

How does FP have you 3rd? Are they foreseeing another Crochet/Houck/Lopez waiver lottery?

My watch list is alive and well.

I was happy to land both Schwellenbach and Cristopher Sanchez. I think they're both outperform candidates. I'm probably quite a bit more bullish on Sugano / Ray / Pfaadt than projections and experts.

Hitters, banking on overperformance from Andres Gimenez, Dylan Crews, Tommy Edman, Lars Nootbaar... and think Vlad has upside to his projection, could be an F U walk year! I could see him running past his HR / RBI / AVG / OPS projections of 31, 98, .298, .895, dreaming on a 2021 season from him.

Grabbed two of my unheralded stashes in Caleb Durbin and Alan Roden. They're projected at 7 HR and 16 SB between them. I think they blow past once they get playing time and I'm expecting both to surpass their PA projections. Durbin is little but maybe a menace.

I had both Sanchez and Schwellenbach last year… good picks. Yahoo probably had Spencer ranked too high, but he finally has a face.

Edman seemed like a stretch even in the 13th round. I’m guessing you had your eyes on a different SS, but missed? Jeremy Peña, Stott and “Babe” Fitzgerald all went down draft.

I missed on virtually every player I came in thinking was a ‘must’. Think I pivoted well, but I’m coming up short on SBs for sure.

Teoscar is available, BTW.

Tommy Edman paying off, 4 bombs already He and Gimenez have 7 HR between them... over 25% of their full season FP projection!

1.51 ERA, 0.92 WHIP through 107.1 IP is crazy.

…and maybe a Save? Surprising that Clase still doesn’t have one.

He’s intentionally rostering a bunch of non closers which is great for ERA and WHIP, but generally punts quality starts and wins… he’s gotten lucky with a bunch of vultured wins so far, but that’s not really sustainable. Doubtful he’ll end up 90+ wins that way, 5 of his 11 wins are from RP

You did because I had him on my watchlist and was planning to pick him up.

My observation wasn’t meant to offend or trash talk.

You have 1 save and are 3rd from the bottom in quality starts.
