if you are basing your picks on PECOTA he's actually really good if you're not relying on his bat too much. They have him as having a roughly equivalent WAR to Matt Kemp and Coco Crisp

Good defense at a prime defensive position. As long as he isn't batting leadoff, and he can manage like a .330 OBP he's probably a useful player.

Hey, I (PIT) desperately want to trade up for one of the next few picks. I'll offer my 8th and 9th round pick for somebody's upcoming pick and their 11th if anyone's interested.

I'm fine with that, especially since I'm probably 5 days away from my next pick anyway.

The trade between mentholmoose and I is contigent on if his guy is available at my draft pick. Otherwise I'll make my selection. If someone can pm me when my pick is up that would be real cool if he's not picking. A pm will notify my phone :buddy:

Sweet.

I thought about Frazier right after I drafted Victorino, and I was sure he wouldn't last until my last pick.

Frazier and Owings are great picks for this late. I strongly considered Frazier, but figured Alexei's defense at SS bested Frazier's output at 3rd. Good pick regardless.

Fowler's harder for me to get a handle on. Good OFs from Colorado tend to be suspect in my book.

I was considering Polanco too, but I just don't know enough about how he'd perform in this game to evaluate what round was appropriate.

I was just kinda browsing through a list of SP's yet taken and had to check a couple times since I was surprised he lasted this long. Let's hope OOTP doesn't hate him for some reason.

Speaking of which, I'm not going to edit any current suspensions, so don't draft those guys (unless you don't care about them missing however much time they're going to miss). If the game tries to auto one of them to someone I'll just edit their ratings to be terrible so it won't bring them up.

Nothing related to their skills--just that Dozier got a very entertaining reaction compared to this compliment.
