Draft thoughts.

[Roaddog]

Anybody else feel like Admin is trying to shove left handed pitchers down our throats? Not just this draft, and not just this league. All leagues.

the one thing i would never accuse the admins of doing these days is "anything at all", so I don't think so, ha. Is 9/32 lefties a lot? seems reasonable.

Well, good point regarding admin, Paul. No the number of lefties vs righties seems fine. The problem I have is there are very few right handed pitchers worth even looking at. What you are left with are marginal lefties. Oh, some of them will have decent ratings eventually, but lefties with only decent ratings just aren't very good. Maybe with VD, some of these can be OK, with favorable curves. But the thought of trotting out a B+/B lefty at age 23, against Detroit, scares the hell out of me.

It would be great to only have to worry about lefties verse Detroit...
Or Baltimore...
Or Washington...
Or, well, you've all seen my pitchers...
I mean, YIKES!!!

true, i didnt notice most of the pitchers i've ranked the highest in this draft are southpaws. I guess I never look at which hand they throw with, although a glance at the league-wide splits vRH and vLH indicates that I should.
