My teams are at 5, and 4 respectively. Been a hell of a year! :drunken:

One of these teams can be trusted to draft reliably... the other, not so much.

there isn't a surefire #1 in this draft so the top spot isn't that important

I agree. You also can't trade down a la the NFL, at least the top pick gives you the choice of guys you want. Even if the team is pulling a Pirates type move where you draft a 2nd-3rd round talent for underslot, at least you can get the higher draft pool $$ allotment.
Who the hell knows what the Sox will do, I mean I don't have a lot of confidence in Getz who hasn't really developed anyone in the time he has been the MiLB director.

Cards management is showing it's flaws, but they have a great scouting director in Randy Flores. We'll see.

I don't know why they instituted the lottery in baseball. Unlike the NBA, there's not much difference between the first handful of picks but, just like the NBA, it doesn't stop anyone from tanking.

How is the Subdivision ever going to top this years first rounder, Jacob Gonzales who is smashing a scorching .203/.290/.278 line at Low A, and Low A for those of you scoring at home, is the equivalent to Division 2.

Deal.

You should’ve anchored with Benetti. Someone needs to get you a copy of Art of the Deal.

The Sox drafted Jacob Gonzalez.

You know its a Caller genius thread when he can't get the name right.
