I'll give the correct answers tonight or tomorrow morning.
Unless somebody is cheating, it would be very hard to get 100%

#1= the order you have. 2= papelbon 3= that one could be anything- I will go with d. all I have- and probably wrong

1. Yelich 10th Kuroda 15th Moss 20th
2. Romo
3, 4, 5 - When in doubt, go with C

Fun distraction. Thanks. Here are my guesses.

1. Yelich 10, Moss 15, Kuroda 20
2. Soriano
3. B - Hosmer, Pujols, Gonzalez
4. B - Round 14
5. B - Round 8

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.

1. Match the round these players were taken?
A- Christian Yelich - 10tg
B- Brandon Moss - 15th
C- Huroki Kuroda - 20th

2. Which Closer was not in the top 10 of Closers drafted?
D- None of the above (somewhat confusing but by this answer, I believe all three were one of the top ten closers taken)

3. Which is true?
D- Pujols was taken after Hosmer and Gonzalez

4. George Springer and Ben Revere were taken with successive picks,
Was it in......
C- Round 18

5. Gerrit Cole and Trevor Rosenthal were taken in the same round.
Was it.....
C- Round 10

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.......
