It's so cool not being the one erroneously posting in the draft thread for a change.

I'm gonna be super happy if a certain punto makes it to me.

I was thinking about Joyce myself, but his massive platoon splits kind of ruin him for me.

KC, fix your pick since Altuve was taken also.

I know he's next to useless against LHP, but with Longo, Craig, and Lucroy all being right-handed bats, I think I'll be fine.

please keep this stuff to the discussion thread guys

I don't know how I posted that in the wrong thread this morning but that's entirely my fault. Sorry!

Also my team is going to have the worst offense in the league. Probably going to be a mistake. But maybe....

I was! I took a nap and it was good, then I picked a guy who was impossible to pass up because he's the best hitter on the board by a mile. If anyone wants to package some picks for Butler or Ortiz I will be happy to listen but I'm perfectly happy to have them hitting next to each other for 153 or so games.

I felt like Q should not have gotten this far. Like, far better than Corbin.

And Alexei should have gone after goddamn Desmond. Starlin before Alexei is :psyduck:

Yeah I waffled between Quintana and walker for a long time with my last pick, and I probably would've picked up alexei with my next one.
