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.

1.51 ERA, 0.92 WHIP through 107.1 IP is crazy.

Yeah he and Turang have been ridiculously valuable… I’m still not in on Paris but fun when guys start like that.

Torkelson up to 12th overall?! Tried to warn you

Oh, that must be why you drafted him?

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
