Post by LTJaeger »

Has anyone ever seen a better 2nd round pick than Byron Kiner?

For being drafted 30th overall this guy had a great career for me.

My best was this guy: lifetime .300 hitter, .491 slugging, gold glove 1B, and in the lineup every day for 10 full years and parts of four others. That league is now defunct, but I recall that draft was completely stacked with future HoFers.

Not sure anyone really goofed, he's put up massive numbers but in all honesty his grades weren't sensational. Based on his improves he was, at best low A+/low A vs RHP and A+/B+ vs LHP with A+, or high A, speed and the big A+ health at his peak. In most leagues those grades spell All Star, not 7 time MVP.

He also had very generous improves, 59 in PVR, so realistically on draft day he was low C+/C-, or possibly D+, vs RHP & B-,or C+/C vs LHP with C+ speed. So I can easily see a C+/D+, C+/C with C+ speed falling to the 2nd round . Generally that player will go in the 1st round, especially with the A+ health, but #17 overall certainly isn't beyond comprehension
