Re: Early Quiz
1) Moss, Yelich and Kuroda
2) all were outside the top 10, Romo the farthest out.
3) Pujols, Hosmer, AGone. But I would take Hosmer ahead of Pujols and Adrian
4) might be cheating here as I took Revere in the 14th in the premature, I will go with the 14th here and hope for the 10th so I can claim I got Value
5) forgot the choices for Cole and Rosenthal, but will take the earliest choice as Rosenthal needs to crack the top 10 to push Papelbon & Soriano outside the top 10 closers.

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.

Re: Early Quiz
Congrats to Gary Cutler (Head 2 Head), he got every answer correct.
1. Brandon Moss- 10th
Christian Yelich- 15th
Huroki Kuroda- 20th
2. E, None of the above. All of these Closers were taken after 10 others had been selected.
3. A. Pujols was taken before both Hosmer and Gonzalez
4. B. Springer and Revere were both taken in the 14th round.
5. A. Cole and Rosenthal were taken in the 6th round.
This is newsworthy. Their drafters are beating the hype. It is hard to picture either pitcher rising too much more in drafts.
A rise would make Cole an instant ace and give Rosenthal, Kimbrel status.
It's just hard to see that happening, even after the hype machine kicks in.
I will have another quiz later today based on the Pre-mature draft.......
