2017 Re-Draft
What if the 2017 Draft had a do-over?
Here is where players were picked in the first round and where they should have been picked:
1. Dansby Swanson - Claysburg. Based on talent and needing a future shortstop, this was a great pick. Based on what happened in 2017 the better pick would have been Aaron Judge. Who knew?
2. Andrew Benintendi - Oahu. I can't see an option for Oahu where this wasn't a good pick. Oh wait, Bobby Wilson is your catcher? I might have gone Gary Sanchez here. Catchers are a little harder to find than outfielders.
3. Gary Sanchez - Canfield. The next best player. Can't see anything wrong with picking him here.
4. Alex Bregman - Brighton. Bregman, then Contreras. Two harder positions to fill. The next two off most draft boards. Seems reasonable to me.
5. Wilsson Contreras - Brighton
6. Julio Urias - Halifax. This guy could potentially be a stud. He might be the right pick here. If Halifax had it to do over I am guessing he might have taken Fulmer instead.
7. Michael Fulmer - Lake Isabella - The best pitcher on the board at that time.
8. David Dahl - Nassau. Good pick for Nassau at the time, if, he had stayed healthy in 2017. I'm guessing Nassau wishes he had taken Trea Turner with either of his next couple picks.
9. Kenta Maeda - Nassau. If you needed pitching this was the best guy on the board that was remaining.
10. Trea Turner - Oahu. Let me get this straight, Oahu drafted Benintendi, Turner, and Judge in this draft?
11. Nomar Mazara - Spokane. Another good pick for current and future value. Hopefully he figures out how to field. Can't think of a better pick in this position unless you have the gift of foresight that Oahu has and you take Travis Shaw at this point.
12. Aledmys Diaz - Halifax. Filled a need for the playoff team. Was the right pick at the right time.
13. Seung-hwan Oh - Bowling Green. If you want to win the World Series you take a reliever in the first round, it's just what you do.
14. Trevor Story - Omyassis. Another need for the Omyassis team. I can't see them finding a better shortstop option at this point.
15. Alex Reyes - London. Another possible stud. I'm guessing London wished they had taken Giolito, Bundy, or Berrios at this point though.
16. Jameson Taillon - Spokane. Solid pick placement. Interchangeable with the guys taken after him.
17. Chris Devenski - Vero Beach. Probably wishes he had taken someone else as the season went South. Maybe a good spot for a Bundy or someone that ended up starting.
18. Edwin Diaz - Claysburg. Honestly don't know enough about Edwin Diaz to make a suggestion on this one. We'll assume he was the best pick.
19. Orlando Arcia - Kansas City. KC got on the shortstop bandwagon. He is turning out alright.
20. Sean Manaea - San Antonio. Solid pick to end the first round. Looks pretty decent to me.
Other notables - Round 2: Dylan Bundy, Lucas Giolito, Josh Bell. Round 3: Jose Berrios, Aaron Judge. Round 5: Travis Shaw. Round 9: Felipe Rivero. Round 17: Tommy Pham
Obviously the big one that got lost in the shuffle was Judge in the 3rd. I managed to pick up a couple guys that are going to pay huge dividends for me this year later in the 2017 draft, showing that it really is just a giant craps shoot.

2015 Draft Preview
I've already warned you that I'm not too confident about any of these picks. But you've asked so you shall receive.
1) Jose Abreu- Nassau
This one is easy enough. Lucas Duda will move back to outfield to accommodate Abreu at first this season. Assuming the two of them put up their expected seasons in 2015, Nassau will eventually have to make a choice between the two as I don't expect Duda to receive any more OF time going forward.
2) Jorge Soler- Evanston
Evanston traded both Xander Bogaerts and James Shields for the right to this pick and this is one of the very few predictions I am sure of. Soler impressed in his brief Cubs debut and although the strikeout rate is a little high the soon-to-be 23 year old has power for days.
3) Gregory Polanco- Vero Beach
This is an unusual spot for David Gandy as Vero Beach's first losing season in history nets them a top three pick. Luckily they can use this to infuse some young talent to an aging team. Polanco lit up AAA in 2014 and although it didn't yet translate to the big leagues he has all the tools to believe in him as at least a regular in the lineup.
4) Masahiro Tanaka- Washington
The rich get richer. The perennial powerhouse Booze Hounds has a couple options here but either way they should land an impact player. Although Tanaka dazzled in the Bronx, questions surround his shoulder injury and if he can avoid damaging it again while still putting up similar numbers in 2015. Despite that and the other options available, Tanaka is the best get here at #4.
5) Mookie Betts- Halifax
Halifax has a second base opening and Betts is probably the top player on the board here. The question is how much second base will Betts play in Boston. He likely will play a little bit of everything giving Halifax some flexibility going forward as long as he can continue to hit. So far, he's excelled at every level he's been at, including his 2014 MLB debut..
6) George Springer, Oahu
His 33% strikeout may scare some people away but Springer sure has some power. Before a leg injury ended his MLB season, Springer hit 20 homers with just under 300 AB. While he may not continue that pace over a full season, his average should go up, and his considerable upside and potential should make him the newest Glorius Wonder outfielder.
7) Billy Hamilton, Spokane
If there is one player who fits Spokane's profile, it's Billy. He is already a top defensive outfielder and is obviously a fantastic baserunner who will challenge Jarrod Dyson for the TBA stolen base title this year. The speedster's big question mark is if he can hit enough. The key seems to be if Hamilton can cut down on his number of fly balls. I'm betting Larry Hill will take the chance that he can.
8) Yordano Ventura, Canfield
Ventura can flat out throw. His fastball is consistently in the upper-90's and he reached a maximum of 101.9 mph in his brief 2013. The talent is there and Canfield certainly needs to add some starting pitching to the roster. Ventura seems to be the perfect fit.
9) Jacob deGrom, Bowling Green
The Bowlers have been trying to rebuild for a number of years but the injury bug keeps knocking their top picks out of action, Jurickson Profar the latest victim. Although that has pushed their team back a bit, the talent base is still there and they can add to it with the reigning NL ROY deGrom. Although deGrom is already 26 years old, this team could quickly turn their fortune around if they can get full seasons from everyone and deGrom would be an excellent addition to a rotation already featuring Max Scherzer, Tanner Roark, and Jake Odorizzi.
10) JD Martinez, Kansas City
This may seem a little high for what is likely a career-best year, but Kansas City has a team that can compete today and Martinez would fill a hole with his big bat this season. My projections have KCB entering the draft as the third-best EML team. Martinez would give the team a top hitter overall and would push them up to the second-best team in the league.
11) Javier Baez, Whiskey Island
Baez is one of the most difficult players to project in this draft. Many see the potential, many others see the strikeouts and find it difficult to the stardom others predict. Whiskey Island could use a starting pitcher here and I am probably the least confident about this pick than any other in the round, but it may be too hard to pass up on Baez' talent here.
12) Danny Santana, Washington
Washington becomes he first team with the two picks in the draft here at #12. They've been denied a chance to win another title for too many years and Santana would improve this year's team. Current shortstop Troy Tulowitzki may be on of the best players in the game but as always has injury concerns. Santana can fill in at SS for Tulo when necessary and also play some LF against RHP as well.
13) Nick Castellanos, Canfield
With Canfield's second pick of the draft, Castellanos would provide a young third baseman that they hope would beat out current 3B Matt Dominguez. He's far from a sure thing but he has enough offensive potential that he may stick as the starter for Detroit.
14) Marcus Stroman, Brighton
With the first of two consecutive picks, Brighton can add an exciting young arm who could pitch out of the bullpen this year. Stroman's minor league numbers were terrific and impressed in the majors. I'm a big fan and believe Brighton would be ecstatic to add him at 14 if he doesn't get picked up by Whiskey Island first.
15) Dellin Betances, Brighton
Yes he's a reliever. Although Brighton has declined a bit from previous years, they are still a likely playoff team and adding both Stroman and Betances to Joe Smith in the bullpen would give them a strong bullpen for October's late innings.
16) Taijuan Walker, Washington
I'm not in the business of predicting trades, but I would not be surprised to see someone else in this pick come draft time. If Washington does stay at #16, Walker is likely the best talent left on the board and would likely end up with the Booze Hounds.
17) Collin McHugh, London
Although London is usually pitching-heavy, they will need another starter this season. McHugh would be the top pitcher available for a team looking to get to their first TBA Championship.
18) Kevin Kiermaier, Colorado Springs
At this point in the draft, I have almost no idea. So why not Kiermaier? He's a potential gold glove outfielder so even if he doesn't hit like this going forward he still will provide value. He can immediately help in the outfield for another team with playoff and championship aspirations.
19) Joe Panik, San Antonio
Panik is nothing special but Chase Utley is aging and Panik should provide a steady presence here for when Utley finally declines past the point of being a starting second baseman in the TBA.
20) Andrew Heaney, Evanston
Similar to Colorado Springs pick, this could be anyone here. Although Panik would be a nice addition here if he lasted as they could use a second baseman, Heaney is a young starting pitcher to add to their stable of starting pitchers.
A couple of days left until we find out how poor these predictions turn out!
1) Jose Abreu- Nassau
This one is easy enough. Lucas Duda will move back to outfield to accommodate Abreu at first this season. Assuming the two of them put up their expected seasons in 2015, Nassau will eventually have to make a choice between the two as I don't expect Duda to receive any more OF time going forward.

Rick Porcello(1-1) was on top of his game in Oahu as he tossed a beauty of a
no-hitter against the Oahu Glorius Wonders. The Nassau team won by a score
of 1 to 0.
Porcello had overwhelming stuff this afternoon. He simply never gave the Oahu
batters a decent pitch to drive. He only walked one Oahu batter. What a day
for the fans. They were on the edge of their seats from the 7th inning on.
With every out, the electricity in the air mounted. Nassau had only 3 hits
for the afternoon.
Preston Claiborne(1-1) absorbed the loss in relief. He surrendered 1 hit and
1 walk in 1 inning. 'Porcello was simply incredible' losing pitcher
Claiborne said. 'I hate to admit this but I'd pay to watch a man pitch like
that'

Clayton Kershaw(3-0) was on top of his game in Reno as he tossed a beauty of a
no-hitter against the Reno Aces. The San Antonio Alamos won by a score of 6
to 0.
Kershaw had overwhelming stuff tonight. He simply never gave the Reno batters
a decent pitch to drive. He walked 2 Reno batters. The tension built to a
fever pitch. After the 8th inning everybody in the ballpark was anticipating
what would happen in the 9th. San Antonio had 13 hits for the night.
Hiroki Kuroda(0-2) was hit with the loss. 'Kershaw made us look bad' Rich
Robertson said. 'I've seen a lot of good performances in my time and this one
will be tucked away in my memory bank for a long time to come'

Reno Needs
Good afternoon,
Since we can't send out emails letting everyone know what we need yet and since Eamonn is already bugging me to trade him a bunch of guys, I thought I'd just blog about the current and soon to be former defending Champions needs for 2014.
We need:
Picks
A Third Baseman
A Centerfielder (could actually use Bruce as a 1 in RF instead of a 2 in CF)
A Fourth and Fifth Starting Pitcher
What we have to give up:
We have a pick in each round except the first
Billy Butler or Anthony Rizzo (prefer to keep Rizzo or upgrade)
Marco Scutaro
Wily Peralta
Jeremy Hellickson
Tyson Ross
Alex Presley
Francisco Rodriguez
Jose Veras
Ryan Lavarway
Tyler Flowers
Dee Gordon
Pedro Florimon
Ryan Raburn potentially
Jeremy Guthrie
if you need innings:
Kevin Correia
What we look like so far:
C - Carlos Santana
1B - Anthony Rizzo, Billy Butler
2B - Omar Infante
3B - EMPTY
SS - Jean Segura
LF - EMPTY
CF - Jay Bruce
RF - Hunter Pence
Bench - Marco Scutaro
Bench - Ryan Raburn
Bench - Ryan Lavarnway
SP - Mat Latos
SP - Jhoulys Chacin
SP - Wade Miley
SP - Wily Peralta
SP - Tyson Ross
CP - Greg Holland
RP - Jake McGee
RP - Jose Veras
RP - Francisco Rodriguez
RP - Brad Ziegler
