Even though I don't have a team, you guys should have a budget, because without it, you're basically doing a more complex keeper league draft. I think the budget adds another challenge, which should IMO make it more fun to build a team.

Well, if it does work out that way, you want to be Philly co-GM? I don't know if I have the wherewithal to include contract deets in my judgements.

I can't believe Posey lasted as long as he did. I guess some people have a thing against catchers since they don't play "every day".

Depending on who I get at first, Mssr. Buster may well end up playing somewhere every day.

Projection systems love the gently caress out of Gordon for his defense. I think he's actually the "most valuable" LF in BP 2014. I kinda wish I knew where my copy was now.

I don't know if anyone who's seen a Pence AB can call him a "good hitter," but he is quite productive on offense!

The joke is that Pence has an extremely silly stance/swing. I'm sure he'll do fine for you.

Obviously, it depends how much you're valuing the OOTP sim. His 50th percentile PECOTA line is .254/.358/.434.

It would be much more shocking if he had done so as a pitcher....

Besides, you just can't argue with that .333 BA. Contact skills for days. No patience, though.

I think it'll make the experience of the late rounds much more enjoyable if we admit the possibility of some fun (possibly gamey) picks, rather than diligently selecting fifth outfielders who will never play.

We're supposed to be drafting "our ideal 25 man roster." I interpret that to mean a team that can compete for the championship in Year One, but which also has a future. YMMV

He's a plus defender in Centerfield who gets on base at an average clip. This late in the draft I'm pretty happy with that pick

Ehh on the CF defense, but the point is that yeah, you are getting an adequate outfielder with a good eye, no power at all, and no chance of anything more than that. If someone wants to roll the dice on a fun lottery ticket, you're not contractually obligated to be lovely about it.

That sounds like "CRACK!" "Eep!" "Phew."
