Whew!... I can jump ahead here and make my selection.

When I took Billy Williams last round, I gambled that I could get the SS I wanted this round. I had to sweat out a bunch of folks w/o a shortstop (only 4 were taken). I did not want the default SS and I'm not going to draft high enough in round 25 to get one. Thankfully, I moved ahead of mllama54 in this round so I can take...

2021 Carlos Correa, Astros

Another stud hitter who lasted too long. Now I'm really glad I drafted Billy Williams last round. No way he makes it to me this round.

I almost took Williams two rounds back but nabbed Edmonds instead. I considered him but then really was sure I was taking Trout last round before switching to Santo because I feared a run at 3b. Manny was by far the best bat left for me here and I decided I couldn’t pass him up.

I came thisclose to taking Manny instead of Vizquel earlier in this round. I still can't decide if I made the right choice.
