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.
Yeah...  I had that LF like 9th.

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

nice.  I like a couple of the guys I got.
For drafting 55-115, your top 3 picks are as good as I can ever remember your top 3 picks, other than last season

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

I had Bruce 2 and Brace 3.  Bruce is a better defender and a switch hitter.

I put a lot of time into the rankings this year due to my first pick being so low.  Nixon isn't bad and Wise will do too bad his Range isn't a little bit higher.

Sergei Nagy was a nice comp pick for Thumper Hunter
He was among the people I ranked.

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.
As will the guy I took right after you.
I'd prefer the guy you picked up over usk's indecisive pick

That should make Fister happy

The first four guys I took were all people I ranked, although getting two catchers is annoying.

if he signs, he will be very nice
Yeah...  I hope he does but I can deal with the compensation pick if he doesn't.  I have the money to up the offer.

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.
Yep

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.
It should be fairly obvious.

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

He second pitch is the only reason I had him a notch below.

I feel like I reached ranking Rudy Ross high enough that I got him with a supplemental pick, but I couldn't pass on a guy that projected to 80+ in both arm categories and 100 PC.

Indecisive?
