2011 MLB Draft

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Blah.

Your shortstop is looking like a potential star in the making so you know he'll be gone in a few years ... so you take a top shortstop in the draft. Siiiiiiick. Why do I bother with the MLB Draft. :chuckles:
 
If you draft based off how your MLB SS looks now instead of BAP, you're in trouble..
 
There's some Jim guy in the chat on espn and he sounds just like boobie..

Your shortstop is also capable of playing 2B, as is Lindor. He's also only 17 which means even if he makes the bigs as a 22 year old, Asdrubal will be 30. Never pass on BPA, especially for a guy who hasn't even produced at a "star" level for even half a year yet. Hell, the Nats took Rendon and they have an All-Star 3B in Zimmerman already.
 
Yeah, I agree about BPA. Just looking for instant gratification like we all want. If Kipnis doesn't work out at 2B then having Lindor is a plus I guess even though he's so young he's probably 4 years away.

Not me....but I love the pick.

As my original post clearly shows.

Asdrubal Cabrera is probably wearing a different uniform by the time Lindor takes over....

Ohhh, except if Dan Gilbert takes over....in which case we'll sign ALL our stars to long term deals and more. :D

Yeah I know, which is what I said in my original post. It's hard to be like, "oh yeah, Lindor! Looks good" when you know they probably want him to take over for Cabrera when he goes to the Pinstripes.
 
Really it's just about taking the best player on the board.

MLB depth chart's don't apply when you're drafting...
 
To belabor my point, i believe the Rays have like 190 picks in the first round.
 
What time does the 2nd round start tomorrow?
