I am watching pick after pick and wondering how people are picking everyone but Willie Calhoun at this point. Who cares about defense? The dude can hit and the rangers traded darvish for him. So obviously they are invested.
Jeff Zimmerman
9:05
I bet some guys have him higher but taking a chance on his ADP being low. It's one of the only ways to find values.
Craig in CHI
9:05
quick side story.... I once golfed with a scout from Triton (home of Kirby).  He said Gio had the best stuff he ever scouted.
Jeff Zimmerman
9:06
Giolito?
Zola with a steal
Craig in CHI
9:06
Gio Gonzalez
Jeff Zimmerman
9:07
OK .....
Last four picks are great values
Five
hibernation
9:07
cubs closer this late? dude...
Sneijer

I get that Calhoun's ADP is low. But at round 13 just get the best player available. Hes better than Longo,thames,C Davis, Ian happ, mancini, de shields, arcia, etc. I get you want value. But drafting crap before him so you can "steal" him later doesnt make sense.
Jeff Zimmerman

Also at this point, teams may have positions filled and Willie can just keep dropping
Britton?????? He might even pitch this year
Craig in CHI
9:09
Aaron Hicks, in that lineup, seems like a lock for nice production.
Jeff Zimmerman
9:09
Steve agrees
Craig in CHI
9:10
Zola with a coup.
Chris
9:10
Is Addison Russell ever going to put together a year like Simmons just had? Seems like they may be on similar career arcs
Jeff Zimmerman
9:11
I hope. The playing time concerns keep all the Cubs down
Craig in CHI
9:11
I watch Addy a ton.  I'm still in.  The talent jumps off the screen.
Sneijder
9:11
peraza, morales and britton. Holy what just happened
Jeff Zimmerman
9:11
Morales is actually not a bad pick but the others are horrible
Craig in CHI
9:12
If Duffy gets trade to a contender, that could be great value?
Erik
9:12
Peraza is a fine single category steals guy...in the 23rd round.
Jeff Zimmerman
9:13
Polanco is a nice pick there
Mike Podhorzer
9:13
how'd I get Brach after Britton?
Jeff Zimmerman
9:13
We're confused also
Craig in CHI
9:13
Polanco might be legit.  I heard a MINN beat writer on Al Melchior's pod.  They love him, there.
Colito
9:13
Zola is running away with this draft
Jeff Zimmerman
9:13
It's a nice team so far
Chris
9:13
Time to Go Big or Gohara
Jeff Zimmerman
9:14
He and Lamet will disappear soon.
9:15
In NL only, I'd love to grab both the LAD catchers. Tough to guess their playing time but combined overall value
Sneijder
9:15
This is a 2 catcher league, yes?
Jeff Zimmerman
9:16
yes
Erik
9:16
Weird for Sporer/Colette to take a second catcher in Barnes? I know he'll have 2B eligibility but the bat isn't an asset there.
Jeff Zimmerman
9:16
You should see some the 2nd catcher's rostered later. It'll be rough
9:17
And Reyes off the board as expected.
Sneijder
9:17
That was a fantastic Barnes pick then.
AW
9:17
I'm still not over Zola drafting Travis Shaw in the sixth. That was not okay
Jeff Zimmerman
9:18
High variance picks going now with Reyes, Brantley and Trumbo
Connecting…
