Underage and naughty thoughts on how good they can be?

Had been mulling hard on Potts since 31.

Oh and Sanchez is Potts in case anyone had the Potts version in their queue.

Giants · Post by **Giants** » Wed Feb 08, 2017 10:27 am

In case anyone is wondering, the guy I just took now goes by Potts. Trump's America?

Orioles · Post by **Orioles** » Wed Feb 08, 2017 10:58 am

Since he goes by Potts now, you should prob have that version on your roster and then we should delete the Sanchez version to avoid any future confusion.

Stobbe and Sanchez, great picks guys.

Potts/Sanchez was near the top of my list last pick for me as well.. he almost fell.

I didn't even see the Potts version, he's Sanchez on MLB draft tracker and fangraphs so I just Ctrl-F'ed that one. Shawn can you make the fix? Thanks, and thanks for the love on the pick. I very nearly took him at 30 and it would shock me not a bit if he turns out to be better than Kieboom. You hear that Carter? #motivation

Damn I had my eye on Reynolds

Same. Was hoping he'd continue to fly under the radar.

Cardinals · Post by **Cardinals** » Wed Feb 08, 2017 1:25 pm

Almost took Reynolds myself.

Giants · Post by **Giants** » Wed Feb 08, 2017 1:30 pm

Puig
Springer
McKinney...

Add Reynolds to the list of outfielders I thought about who went one pick after me, though in this case its the 2nd round instead of the 1st so we'll see...

It was a slight red flag when Jake passed on Reynolds, but felt the value at this point in the draft was too good to pass up, thanks for reconfirming gents.

By the way, he is available for trade!

Love the DJ Peters pick by Jim. Debated taking him over Stobbe but thought he'd make it to me again

He was first in my queue for the pick after Jim

Figured getting Chatham was wishful thinking.

Rockies · Post by **Rockies** » Sat Feb 11, 2017 5:56 pm

There go 2 guys at the top of my queue. Arg.

Reds · Post by **Reds** » Sun Feb 12, 2017 5:16 pm

I was hoping Fisher would last long enough to grab him at 93. Nice pick Shawn.

Thanks, I had actually been considering him at 65, glad he lasted until 80.

Rockies · Post by **Rockies** » Sun Feb 12, 2017 6:00 pm

Me too Shawn.. Was looking at him at my last pick. He probably wouldn't have made it to you Ken, since since Friedl went off of the board.

Dodgers · Post by **Dodgers** » Mon Feb 13, 2017 7:25 pm

Was wondering when Jose Miguel Fernandez would go, considered him for my pick.

Orioles · Post by **Orioles** » Mon Feb 13, 2017 7:58 pm

Was lucky he was around because the next 2 guys on my list (Fisher and Mays) had just gone off the board.

Red Sox are done drafting.

Quite a few teams still have cuts to make.

I think we need to tighten up the rules around this, I've been making sure to always be legal as I pick.

Mets · Post by **Mets** » Wed Feb 22, 2017 12:05 pm

I'm done drafting - but WTF?

Why does it take 16-24hrs to make 5th round picks?
