Since I am doing so well (again), I was looking at my draft and draft strategy (i.e. was that a wise move at that time). I thought I would toss this one up for the folks.
Was I crazy in the 7th round (94th player) to take Glaus? So far he has 524 AB, an expected .252 BA, 36 HR, 102 R, 100 RBI, 3SB. My first six picks were Tex, AmRam, Carlos Lee, J. Lugo, BJ Ryan, J. Schmidt.
The other players that went before my next pick were:
Burrell Pat
Blalock Hank
Roberts Brian
Webb Brandon
Mora Melvin
Lackey John
Valverde Jose
Gomes Jonny
Edmonds Jim
Beltre Adrian
Myers Brett
Benitez Armando
Gonzalez Mike
Thome Jim
Cano Robinson
Gordon Tom
Polanco Placido
Freel Ryan
Iguchi Tadahito
Patterson John
Guardado Eddie
Jones Todd
Thoughts? Hindsite is dangerous, but based on what we all thought we knew in March, was Glaus in the 7th worth the risk to BA?

Baseball is a slow, boring, complex, cerebral game that doesn't lend itself to histrionics. You 'take in' a baseball game, something odd to say about a football or basketball game, with the clock running and the bodies flying.

Wayne,
You might find the NY2 draft results of particular interest because the owner with pick #94 (not me) also selected Troy Glaus. Following your lead, here were the players selected before Team 04 in NY2 selected again in round 8.
Torii Hunter
Derrick Turnbow
Curt Schilling
John Patterson
Andy Pettitte
Brian Roberts (my pick)
Randy Winn
John Lackey
Brett Myers
Chipper Jones
Jason Giambi
Oliver Perez
A.J. Burnett
Pat Burrell
Trevor Hoffman
Mark Loretta
Mark Buehrle (my pick - what happened?!)
Barry Zito
Brad Wilkerson
Francisco Cordero
Noah Lowry
Jason Varitek
Kevin
