Early NFBC Draft Results

[BEF]

Let's get back to the results:

NFBC Draft Champions League
Round 1:

1 3 Ryan Braun LF
2 13 David Wright 3B
3 3 Bryce Harper CF
4 13 Cliff Lee SP
5 3 Madison Bumgarner SP
6 13 Jose Altuve 2B

Thoughts?

Now that's a nice-looking start to a draft...

[Gekko]

this maybe a silly question.. but will mike trout fall in the draft with reports that he is weighing in at 240 pounds? there are reports out there that he has 6 burger lunches/dinners. he is a young guy so i think we can hope he drops some weight during the spring, but the larger question is: did this guy work out at all during the offseason? or did he just enjoy being on the cover of magazines and being told repeatedly that he is the greatest thing since sliced bread?

i think he is trying to beef up to hit 50hr this year.

HA! i love it. he actually only hit 23 homers total in the minor leagues while playing 286 games (according to MLB.com) but im sure the argument is that he is "growing" into a power hitter. I just know if i draft him id like those 40+ sbs and if he is the size of prince fielder i wonder just how many he will get.

Has Mark's Halladay hype worked? Greg, any mid-late Feb draft results to share?

[Gekko]

for those not paying attention, Halladay threw 2 nice innings this weekend. The key point to take away was that he was healthy AND felt great. the window of getting him at a huge discount is beginning to close. will be 4th round come end of march

[Gekko]

“Halladay was filthy,” said Tigers outfielder Torii Hunter, who struck out on a 1-2 changeup in the first inning. “I hadn’t faced him in a couple of years. He looked good. His fastball was sneaky. It had that late life. It was sinking and cutting. If he gets better from here, it’s scary.”

[Greg Ambrosius]

Has Mark's Halladay hype worked? Greg, any mid-late Feb draft results to share?

I promise to post some tomorrow. I just got way behind with a few items that had to get done first. Look for some tomorrow. Thanks.

[Greg Ambrosius]

Okay, I'm at least a week behind with these Draft Results, but it's been a crazy time around here. I'm either shoveling 7 inches of snow here or on SiriusXM or travelling somewhere or just on the phone with folks about the NFBC. It leaves little time for my Message Board duties.
