"...Francisco Cordero had 44 saves, but he’s in Cincinnati now, a far cry from the Brewers run support." '07 Brewers Runs 801 vs 783 for '07 Reds, not a far cry.

Except the ball flies out of the yard in Cincy and Cordero can be a zoo. I'm expecting him to have a good year overall, but with some extra meltdown numbers, I dont think his peripherals will be as good as you think they will be. Just my 2 cents...

where do you have Dan Haren?

nice article josh

[Omaha Red Sox]

where do you have Dan Haren?

I could have gone with either Haren or Lackey at the 10 spot.

Curtis Granderson in the 3rd huh?

My round projections were done after participating, viewing, and compiling numerous mock drafts and Granderson averaged out to the 3rd round. Mock Draft Central, for example, has him as at 27, which would put him in the 3rd. Not that I would, but my point of the article was not only to give my opinions on the best at their positions, but also give drafters an idea on where they might be able to draft them as well.

Nice catch. I didn't realize it was that close, but I expect the Brewers to be much better this season than the Reds were in '07 and will be in '08. I do not believe Cordero gets 40 saves again.


Ok, so I just found this thread.
