Just signed my first IFA in $ in ages... and he's really good.

Nice pickup. Was it you I was going up against for alving delgado?

No. I never bid on that player

Once I dove into it, I was pretty impressed with the $ draft class.

It seems pretty deep

I ranked like 50% more players than I normally do...  I wish I had more picks.

I feel like I wound up with 8 guys who can produce at the ML level. It seems to be more concentrated on the sorts cbriese builds a defense around, but none of the stellar gloves are ****** bats. Most are mediocre, at the least.

Bittles vR worries me a bit. Otherwise they look solid. Bo Ryan is strong. Has potential to be similar to Nicky harper

Yeah, Bittles has the one bad split, but I figure his defense makes him worth the platoonable split.

I was surprised how far down my draft board those first few picks came from. Either everyone was doing a solid job not reaching, or I got hurt more by only going 17 in college scouting than I anticipated.

Pleased with my 1st two picks.

I drafted more college guys than I intended, based on my budget.

For some reason, when I looked at the board last night, I suspected I would end up with Childs as a worst case scenario, who I had ranked 9.  Worked out exactly like that.  He is decent for this draft given its depth, but great value in any other draft.  I like him, although I am pitching heavy in my system.  I ended up with 9 guys who can play somewhere in the bigs though.

You had a good draft.  We both got a lot of defensive players.

Komatsu with the 6th pick easily has the potential to be the best pitcher in Disease history, first true ace

I'm pretty sure my draft sucked considering all of my players are only asking for like $600k or less in bonus. 

good thing I got that IFA yesterday ;)

I'm pleased with bret's 1st two picks

I am very happy to get Julian Vasquez with the 27th pick.   I had him rated #6 and was shocked to see I landed a player that I had ranked in the top 10.
