2045, BBA Ammy Draft Chatter

[GoldenOne]

I’d have loved to go for some position players but there just wasn’t anybody to touch Cole

If you need help trading that #1 overall pick, let me know. I've got plenty of recent experience, to include a knuckleballer.

I think it would be a real kings ransom if I were to even consider trading Cole, he’s looking like a generational pitcher. Of course if he fails off the cliff I know who to look for to dispose of him

My fees are relatively cheap.

Teams with those "Kings Ransoms" can come asking for Warren. I'm sure he'll be available real soon!

[GoldenOne]

so much good pitching at the top of the draft

I actually disagree, unless you are looking for bullpen pieces. Cole is about the only one that doesnt seem to have any "buts..." tied to him. Even with Turner for me - I went with the lower movement/higher control guy over Warren's lower stamina/lower velo, but it wasnt the easy choice.

I'll reserve my comments on the other guys until after they get drafted.

Considering the drafts we've had, I can see Lane's point. But can also see Brett's as well. The interesting thing about the draft is what does the GM value. I was sold on Warren after I saw him but was hesitant about certain things (stamina and Velo obviously). There were several other ways I could have gone as well and either been fine or screwed it up depending on development. This could be an interesting draft to look back at in 5-7 years just because of the diversity of the pitchers and what they offer.

I liked Rasmussen as well but have it stuck in my head now we need at least 7 MO from pitchers due to the ratings change.

You might want to rename him "Old King."

Of course we all evaluate SPs differently, but of the 6 pitches e taken so far, I see 5 top of the rotation guys.

[aaronweiner]

So I think that guy might be the replacement for Dave Martin.
