2014 Early Season Draft Results

[Sea Wolves]

Glad the Abreu generated some good (great) content.

How about a first rounder that I am struggling with. Sure...SS...good team...contract year...once had really good numbers. Has had more than 350 AB only once in the last three years. Yet he is going high. Of course it is Hanley Ramirez. According to one of the roto-sites that will remain nameless, Ramirez ended last season with a fractured rib and a nerve problem in his back, but they're no longer issues (right!). He went through a back-strengthening program over the winter to address the nerve issue.

And he is a first rounder? More risky than Tulo? What a huge gamble, especially in the first round, or is it just me?

I guess the people taking Hanley are hoping/expecting the high upside potential offsets the injury risk... Really, how different is Hanley from Carlos Gonzales? Gonzales hasn't played a full season in years, but is a perennial first round pick (usually somewhere between 6 and 10). An owner of Gonzales can't seriously expect a full season's production, but his high per game production teamed with a fill-in OF still generates first round results. Can the same be said of Hanley? I'm not sure, but I would think anyone who is drafting him in the first round needs to take another SS eligible player in the first 8-10 rounds if they want to cover themselves.

Good point about CarGo, but I will say Hanley's best year out of the last three is about what CarGo's average has been over the last three. Still, out of McCutchen, Braun, CarGo, Jones and Ellsbury, CarGo would be my fifth choice.

Interesting to see six RPs selected one after the other from 5.11 through 6.1. Seems like RPs are going earlier this year than in prior years. Last year, it was Kimbrel, and at some point Chapman, but now there is a group of 5-8 RPs that go very early. I guess it is a reflection that more RPs now are considered to be elite (plus uncertainty with some teams' bullpens make clear-cut closers more scarce). While I am less comfortable taking RPs early than many, I do understand the thinking, especially if an RP can get you 100+ Ks and have great ratios. It will be interesting to see how many of these top tier RPs deliver value compared to draft position.

I get that Cano is a guy you can set your watch to, but in the DC format, I'm surprised he's a first rounder in basically every draft (move to SEA aside - I'd feel the same if he was in NYY).

I'd like to shake the collective hand of the 15 folks in the draft where he went 20th overall, which, to my mind, seems much more reasonable than his current ADP of 9.15.

I got neither.

[CALI CARTEL]

We had a guy in my most recent DC that went over 20 picks earlier than his previous early pick (over 70 ahead of his ADP), he'll show up at the very bottom of one these Top 6 Round reports soon and is sure to warrant a comment or two.

[Captain Hook]

Seems like a certain Diamondback outfielder keeps making his way up the lists .....

[CALI CARTEL]

WHOA!!!!

1 7 Paul Goldschmidt 1B

Steal

[Bronx Yankees]

That last draft had some interesting picks.

Goldie at 1.7 - wow, someone must have been smiling
Davis at 1.13 - I realize some regression risk, but that is a nice bargain too IMO
Choo at 2.10 - that is about a round earlier than what I've seen; not sure I see value there
Freeman at 3.7 - another nice surprise for the owner in the seven hole
Pujols at 4.15 - I'm not high on him this year, but, still ... end of fourth round? I'd be a buyer there too.

Mike
