    • You guys are brutal. Methinks it's time for an intervention...

      Antonio Cardenas is the #3 overall pick.

      I had both pitchers taken 1 and 2 considerably lower on my board. Hmmmm.....

        You're bad indeed. He was actually #3 overall on my scouts list. Not sure what it means because the first 2 picks were 11 and 17 respectively.

            For what it's worth, Cardenas ranked out as the highest hitter on my board. Didn't have interest in taking him, but the bat should play.

            • Fantastic pick in Bornstein by Baltimore. He's advanced enough he should be ready to play in 1997.

              • I was surprised that Cardenas went at #3. Made my selection harder than I anticipated (pause).

                  I wanted to go get some more pitching but I couldn't pass on him. Too much potential.

                    Durable, advanced developmentally, plays a premium defensive position, has speed and runs the bases well. My scout had him #1 overall (not that I necessarily agreed wholeheartedly, but I liked him a lot).

                      Bornstein was one of the two ranked higher than Cardenas but I have had a tough time with young infielders so I wanted to get something to plug in there rather than the OF.

                        I personally had Cardenas ranked just slightly higher for that very reason. My scout thinks Cardenas is super defensively at 3B.

                            Huh?

                            So you took the number 3 overall guy on your list. Why not the first two guys?

                              Almost went with Aten at #2, but decided Baker had a better shot of sticking than Aten. I don't think you can go wrong with either.
