Opening Day

I wasnt a switch hitter but Id also hit from the right side and try to copy their stances when it was their turn in the lineup.

As a lefty who turned 6 in 1982, he was my favorite player to emulate. I used to like to hold and wiggle my bat. Thanks for the article

Upon further review (finding out he’s a Cardinals fan), I’ve dropped Small entirely from my prospect rankings, and replaced with with Boushley as the guy I want to see brought up if another spot opens in the rotation.

Just a general comment on drafts. There will be quality players who will eventually contribute in the majors available at 27, 63, and decreasingly so at every pick after that. Its the GMs job to find those guys. "What do you expect at 27?" Doesnt work for me. Reaching is an overused term with an unknowing definition. What I mean by that is it assumed the guy could be had later. Well in the teams at 28, 29, and 33 were all going to draft a player, 27 isnt a reach, but who knows what the other teams will do. Also if a guy can play, lets say Baseball Americas 190th ranked player, and he gets drafted at 27 and said player becomes one of the top 27 plauers in the draft it isnt a reach. Technically a "reach" is any guy drafted that cant play. Height is the least of my concerns, this isnt the NBA or NFL, no one is jumping over you to make a play.

I think Goodson counts as a late round RB. He was productive and test well athletically. I just read a list on NFL.com that has him ranked the best non drafted RB. I would not be surprised at all if he sticks.

Looking at drop rates, Moore and Pickens have the best hands in the draft. Watson is a super athlete that can’t catch, which can be problematic for WRs.

I think they are going to regret passing on Karlaftis twice, don’t hate their picks talent wise, but I think Karlaftis fell too far.

Andrew Whitworth “ playing in the NFL is about what you do on and off the field” ** stands there as the Packers announce they are making a women beater a millionaire. Sounds about right,

I personally hate that argument. A guy gets picked at (hypothetically) 19th, a ton of people will say "he would have been available at 30". Wrong, he wasn't available at 30.

Thats said, Karlaftis is the best player left IMO

Pickens and Skyy Moore have the best hands in this draft. I think they are still in a great spot still. Watson has the highest drop rate of any high rated WRs, scares me.
