I hope everyone does that. Especially in the ME.Money wrote:A reliever at 4.2 is happening a lot more. I just can't get myself there.
Some experts project him to have elite upside, which would be quite a value in the third round.DOUGHBOYS wrote:I know there will be those who back him or have already taken him in drafts.
But, why does Carl Crawford merit third round picks? We are drafting for 2012, right?
Crawford starts the year with an injury, playing for a team that he hasn't played well for, and hitting down in the lineup. That's a trio of things that has me scared.
He could start the year when Ryan Braun does, or at the least, be nursing an injury before Braun gets back.
Somebody set me straight. Why is Carl Crawford a third round pick?
Dan, these last four draft results show that Crawford's value is definitely declining since the announcement of his wrist injury. In the four drafts listed above, he went 3.12, 3.9, 4.12 and 5.6. That's a decline from his ADP of around 31, 32 earlier in the year. Granted, in two of the drafts above he remained in the third round, but in two of them he did drop to the fourth and fifth rounds. I just looked at two more and he went 5.10 and 4.4. So his stock is definitely falling and I wouldn't be surprised if it continues to remain in the fourth and fifth rounds when he's out of sight and out of mind during spring training.DOUGHBOYS wrote:I know there will be those who back him or have already taken him in drafts.

Dough I totally agree with you. Crawford has good upside, with the potential to be elite I guess, but I will not be rostering him in any round before 6 or 7. Therefor, I will not be rostering him in 2012, because there is always that guy who is smarter than the rest who jumps on the player that is sure to repeat his numbers from 4 years ago because he is now on their team for this yearDOUGHBOYS wrote:How about something tangible?
He has elite upside (sigh) because of what he did in Tampa. He has under performed as a Red Sox player and unlike last year, he starts the season with an injury and a place in the lower part of the order.
Are the 'experts' really dictating third round or is it pie in the sky hopes?
I'm not ripping on Carl Crawford. I think he has a great head on his shoulders, great athlete, and a great player on most teams.
But, he seems like a square peg in a round hole there.
Also, I'm trying to promote talk about players. There doesn't seem to be near the opinion of players as in past years.
Have the slow drafts taken the place of opinions?
Are folks guarded about what is on the Boards?
I'm not pointing this conversation at you, Whipsaw, you were just kind enough to answer.
It is open for everybody.
Really, just trying to get some conversation going....
I was just trying to goad you with all of your favorite words. I agree completely that Crawford is largely unrosterable at his current ADP or anything within two rounds of it. Back end of the fifth I'd start to get real tempted, but still would probably pass.DOUGHBOYS wrote:How about something tangible?
