my Minor League pitching is very mediocre, and my hitting splits vsR leave something to be desired. and we obviously cant field at all.

clearly not a good team, but still stocked with legit MLers

You have a bunch of poor fielders and poor hitters that are still legitimate major league players?

So kinda like your $ team dherz?

Im not questioning why my team is performing as they are

It is weird though...  your team has a lot more talent on it than my current ML squad (haven't looked in a while but I remember it that way) and I really struggle to score runs as well.

cbriese defense is keeping that team competitive during the rebuild.

No kidding - how does Wallace slip to 12?

Walters is definitely a nice get at #13, but Wallace was the best position player I saw in the draft, and I don't that it's all that close. You might be able to make an argument for the C pimp took because of how good he is defensively, but he won't hit much against righties, and Wallace is a Philip May clone offensively, who can play 2B/CF. I didn't see the SS Murph got or the 1B Nellie picked.

This

Sergei Nagy was a nice comp pick for Thumper Hunter

Wallace will be really good, but I'm very pleased with Walters

Walters is really good.  I feel like the RP I got a few picks later will be nearly as good.

If those projections hold up, then he is great at that spot...  I doubt they do though.

I don't know, VD.  The 51's have the Robusk Seal of Awfulness, and your boys aren't matching up with them.

There are 8 decent to solid players on that team.

I probably overstepped.  Not awful, but certainly not good.

Was the 8 a legit count or an estimate.  If it was your real count I'm going to try and guess which 8.

Real count

Nice, I'll work on this later.

Like I said, I can see the argument for the C, and I'm not surprised you would have him rated more highly because you put a premium on his skill set, but I wouldn't take the LF over Wallace, and we must differ somewhere with projections on either Wallace or Brace Johnson, because I have Wallace being as good or better at almost literally everything.

Reviewing my slotting, Im not exactly sure why I moved Brace over Bruce, maybe Durability and Health?  Other than that, they project to be fairly similar players to Max Cedeno

Johnson does have the advantages in those areas, but Wallace isn' t weak in either, so I don't see it as anything to differentiate. The only skill where Johnson has an edge is baserunning, and IMO that's nowhere near enough to compensate for Wallace's defensive edge, and the fact that Wallace is a switch hitter will mean they aren't as close offensively as their ratings appear at the surface.

I was pretty happy with McCartin at 29, especially since I only took about 10 minutes to make a quick top 20.

Especially given that bret wasn't picking early this year...

nice.  I like a couple of the guys I got.

I had Wallace in the top 10, the OF that Patrick got, and the Catcher Pimp got were higher up on the board for me, as well as Brace Johnson.  The draft had a lot of strong pitchers.

I did not see much pitching this draft.

As will the guy I took right after you.
