3.3 Joey Votto

Perhaps a round early based on past performance, but I think he will post much bigger power numbers this season and in the future. And I'm almost certain he will continue to hit for average. Besides, I was going to take Zimmerman so I had to go with plan B.

I think you took him at the right time. I even considered taking him despite having Pujols. In the end, I didn't think it was worth doing at the expense of letting a premium position slip away, but nonetheless it was the right time to take him IMHO.

I'm glad to have some validation. Fangraphs agrees with me, too. I think you made an excellent pick with Zimmerman.

Yeah I'm actually glad Reynolds got taken. He's clearly the more glamorous pick of the two, but I was trying to talk myself into taking Zimmerman instead, if both were available, because I think he's (seemingly) in the process of taking his game to another level. I think Zimmerman is someone that will be very reliable for the next several years.

3.4 Brian McCann

Premium position, age 26, and top tier. I really wanted CC here but I have a hard time every year making myself draft pitching...

HayPay has traded David Wright to Atomic Dumpling for Alex Rodriguez.

The two players were drafted consecutively. David Wright was selected with the 2.6 pick and A-Rod was taken with the 2.7 pick. We were discussing our selections and decided to make the swap.

In before the buzzer...nicely done on a great pick.

IowaRed · 02-28-2010, 11:02 AM

I'm not sure I understand the trade rules. The 2 managers just make the trade and then we decide whether we want to protest after it's already been done? I obviously wouldn't have a problem with the A-Rod/Wright trade and wouldn't suspect cheating/collusion but shouldn't we have at least a 1-day review period so that Yahoo just didn't make the switch and then have to switch back if there is a problem?

3.6 Jimmy Rollins

Championship!

AtomicDumpling · 02-28-2010, 01:08 PM

I texted HayPay to let him know his turn was up. He called back immediately and asked me to post his pick as:

3.7 Clayton Kershaw

Vada Pinson Fan is now on the clock with pick 3.8!

I'm here and will be making my pick within an hour.
