Jeff Zimmerman

10:15

Favorite pick of round 24. Tim McLeod gets it again with Freddy Galvis. Parra and Dyson in consideration

Erik

10:16

Would you treat Pujols kinda like a breakout prospect? Take him late enough that if he sucks, it doesn't hurt you, but there's some real upside if he bounces back at all. It's like he was so bad last year that all the downside risk is gone and all you're left with is upside.

Jeff Zimmerman

10:17

My issue with Pujols is he can't physically run. He looks broken

brandon p

10:18

isnt he the infield version of hunter pence?

Jeff Zimmerman

10:18

basically

10:20

I like some the picks this round. Best pick goes to Ciely with Kopech with Kela #2

Mudrock

10:20

Kela have an upside of 35 saves?

Jeff Zimmerman

10:20

Agree

is it me?

10:21

or is the Cubs center fielder still on the board?

Jeff Zimmerman

10:21

Yes he is ... I think

10:22

Nice Fowler pick

10:24

Tough stretch here

Mudrock

10:24

Nate Jones and Carson Smith compared to each other. Who would u take for the next two years

Jeff Zimmerman

10:25

Smith ... I think. I really liked him before he got hurt.

Based Paul

10:25

Did mondesi fall a bit into this one? Seems like deshields but way later

Jeff Zimmerman

10:26

Oh no. Mondesi can't hit. Horrible

Love Sabathia here. He could be worth 18 Wins

Mudrock

10:26

Same thing could be said on Jones too right?

Jeff Zimmerman

10:26

yep

Tommy B

10:26

Zinkie is the best just happily takes the boring established vet that falls. Its nearly his whole roster.

Jeff Zimmerman

10:27

Yep. Zero excitement going on with him

10:29

I may keep an eye on the Angels starters. Their IF D is so much better this year.

Erik

10:29

Zinkie's roster has zero upside though. Can you really win with that team? A bunch of above-average guys with no ceiling locks you into about fifth or sixth.

Jeff Zimmerman

10:30

If everyone is above average, you'll likely win. It's like a roster of 4 WAR players, you'll end up at 100 Wins.

10:32

I've had a ton of luck with an average team. Besides taking Bellinger in Tout Wars reserve picks, I have the worlds most boring team and beat everyone by a record-setting amount. And Zinkie was second. http://baseball7.onroto.com/baseball/webnew/display_live_scoring.pl?to...

Mudrock

10:32

This your round for angels

Jeff Zimmerman

10:33

Some nice upside picks with Cotton, Smith, and Hernandez (if he gets a full-time job).

Erik

10:34

I would like Zinkie's draft a lot more if he was taking shots at the next Bellinger in the reserve rounds.

Jeff Zimmerman

10:35

I think owners got burnt by Bellinger and are paying up this year for prospects.

That said, picking some upside now may be worth it

10:36

And picking Travis just put him on the DL

Tommy B

10:36

forgot about nunez MI eligible

Jeff Zimmerman

10:36

Nunez is like a Swiss Army knife

10:38

Vlad might as well go now

Erik

10:39

Is Bush more likely to pick up saves in Texas than Oh? I know they'll attempt to make him a starter, but there's every chance they abandon that and throw him back into the closer battle, right?

Jeff Zimmerman

10:39

I'm way higher on Kela

And I'd like to see Fister go

10:40

Good return last year but it is in Texas

Yopapa

10:40

JoeyBats love officialy terminated ?

Mudrock

10:40

Ryon Healy > gamel. M's Homer right here
