Hey guys I'll be on a plane today so I may not be around to make my next pick.

I'm pretty sure next year after you set your 15 keepers we will have another draft

[Hollywood42]

Alright, here we go. First off, I gotta take my 3rd baseman before it's too late:

[7,12] Let it Sano: Todd Frazier (3B/1B)

He was a top-5 1st baseman last year, so I'm pleased to snag him this late, with both third and first eligibility.

I really struggled to find a guy that I liked here with my second pick (sorry for the wait!), but I ended up with this guy:

[8,1] Let it Sano: Kole Calhoun (OF)

Don't know a lot about him, but it looks like he hard a really nice year last year and will get a ton of runs, extra base hits, plus a bit of power. Taking a bit of a risk, I think, but hopefully it'll pay off

[Hollywood42]

Please PM someone a list of your next few preferences so we can keep this moving today, if possible

It's about time Todd Frazier went

[enbambam6986]

I'll take rusney castillo

[8,3] South Side Hitmen: Jeff Samardzija (SP)

I know I gotta represent the Sox somehow, and Shark seems like a safe bet at this point in the draft. With a bolstered offense and bullpen, I think Shark will get a lot more run support/wins than he has in the past. As my #4 in the rotation, I'm satisfied with him. I'll really be rooting for him this year, and hopefully for the next few years as well.

I was debating Samardzija, but for as good as everyone always says he is, his record has never shown that to me. Hasn't had a winning record since 2011 when he was 8-4. I just don't really get all the excitement around him, especially his recent free agency signing

He gets 0.0 run support

[Hollywood42]

I dunno, I'm sure he'll be better with the Sox than with the Cubs, but a .385 career ERA and never a single-season WAR over 2.0, I just don't see it yet

If Highroller can pick quick, hopefully we can catch awz before he gets on his flight

Like Sam said, wins and losses for Samardzija the past few years don't mean jack. When you play for the Cubs, you're going to lose a bunch of games lol. I think he'll be much better in the win/loss column at the very least this year. Not to mention he is a good strikeout pitcher too. At this point, I don't see too much risk in him.

[Hollywood42]

I'm sure he'll be better, I just need to see it first

Actually he had a 3.7 WAR this season (you have to combine his 2014 Cubs & Athletics stats) but you are right about one thing, he has never compiled many wins which may be a useless stat in real life but is a vital stat in fantasy baseball. However, now that he is pitching for a team that gets more run support hopefully he'll get more wins.

[Hollywood42]

My bad, Baseball Reference has a weird layout with WAR sometimes. But yeah, he should get more wins, I just need to see it first to see if he is really as good as everyone claims he is

Since it seems we've reached a halt in the draft, what do you all think as been the steal of the draft so far?

[Highroller]

Sorry, just got home from work. Let me recap real quick and I'll pick.

[awz50]

Hey guys Im still here flight got delayed not leaving till 5:30 EST now.

I like the Shark pick he is not to old (30 I believe?) and has had 2 solid seasons. Also for a number 4 guy you cant complain!

[Hollywood42]

Here's a couple picks that stand out to me as great value for when they were picked:

Johnny Cueto- Round 3, pick 5
Carlos Gomez- Round 4, pick 1
Evan Longoria- Round 7, pick 10

There's a lot more picks that have been really good ones for where they were in the draft, but those are 3 players I think could have gone a lot earlier than they did

[Highroller]

Going outside the box here but this is a guy I want locked up for years to come especially in the SS position so I don't want to chance him being gone later.

(8,4) Chicks Dig The Long Ball: Carlos Correa (SS)

[/QUOTE]

[enbambam6986]

Gomez strikesout too much

[sam11]

Wow surprised to see Correa go this early

[Hollywood42]

He does strike out a lot, yes. But he also steals a lot of bases, hits 20+ HRs, and will get in 70+ RBIs. His ADP this year so far is 9th overall. So, I think getting him in the 4th round is a great steal

Short stops have been ridiculously thin the last few years. He's the one prospect that I want and didn't want to risk waiting.
