This year’s draft is going to produce some serious all stars. Great and deep.

I traded my #1 (which looks like 3rd pick) for Rads catcher--now I bet he is glad he made the trade
but the Chicago pick will definitely help me.......... :D

This is one of those times where trading for future picks totally works out. Even playoff picks are huge in a class like this.

That's why I don't mind acquiring a lot of future 1st's, you never know.......

The catcher would probably be in the top 7 or 8, so it's not the worst move you could of made.

I find consistently that R1 picks are really more valuable in this larger league. You basically will get a starter in most drafts. R2 are crapshoots. As I look at playoff teams it’s rare to have any R2 hitters, usually only see R2 relievers.

Yeah the trade w Frostee was pretty fair. I expected top 3. Too bad it isn’t #1 but I’ll get a bonafide player. Amore Dubois will keep improving and I’m short a solid catcher w good health. But that’s life to compete!
