Of the 3 drafts I have been in so far, this has been the most straight forward draft I have been in. No one has been grabbing crazy picks

I agree. I think the drop in talent comes after 12

i think there are still some sleepers all over you just gotta do your reading. im in a 20 teamer and my top 3 picks are pretty as hell. and in a 14 teamer I got Dahl and Addison Russell. MMMM MMMM Good.

MMMM MMMM Good. Pretty sure my other team takes the cake here. I had 3 first round picks... 1, 3, and 15 overall. Zunino, Gausman, Dahl. And then Mike Wacha in the second round. Granted, that particular team is in extreme rebuilding mode. But a draft like that will help the rebuilding process quite a bit.

I agree. There are plenty of guys. I just really like what shapes up to be the top 12 in this league.

And the top 12 are gone... who goes now?

Great pick with Wacha. Love him. Was hoping he'd last til my next one.

I was actually surprised he was still there. I knew i didnt have a shot at a few guys, so i had him targeted early. I'm happy.

Wacha was the safer pick for me.

BOOM. That hurt. Was hoping one of those last four would fall to me.

BOOM. That hurt. Was hoping one of those last four would fall to me. I was pretty stoked when Puig fell to me! i literally checked the list of drafted players a dozen times because I didn't believe he was available. If he wasn't there, Gallo would've been my consolation prize...

Fun fact: Ryu went 2nd overall in another draft I'm in this off-season. My friend and I have come up completely empty trying to explain this.

That is insane. I certainly wouldn't take him over most of the guys in the first round of the June draft. Throw in Soler and Puig, and he's at best in the 20-25 range in my opinion. I just don't trust the inflated stats guys put up over in those Asian leagues (or Central American either for that matter). Just throws another kink in the works when you've got to adjust to a new lifestyle on top of playing in the bigs.
Not to say he couldn't be a phenom. I just am hesitant to buy into those high dollar signings from Asia

How the gyroball was going to revolutionize American baseball? How absolutely nothing that was predicted came true? See also: "Toads: fat, pussy."

That's exactly what I was thinking about too. Dice-K had a couple great-solid years, but quickly died out and fell to obscurity.

Alright, because this league seems quite active and I'm all for interesting discussions...
Can anyone out there top "Ryu goes #2 overall" for draft-related fuckupery?

Not in a serious league. In some mock drafts I've done, some people were being idiots and took the lowest ranked guys 1st overall just to be stupid
