Don't let 'em get in your head too much. It was a bit early, but sometimes you have to take a chance
Thanks for the mentioning Omaha. Also, I'm glad everyone liked the D. Young pick, though you all conveniently forgot that it was me (not JCobb) who made the pick.
Braun: Even though he’s a good young player that can put up great numbers, the risk over taking him over proven guys such as Soriano/Guerrero/Ortiz/C.Lee, etc. isn’t worth it. He could end up putting good enough number up where he has good value there, but I’d rather not take the risk at 2.01. The most I would reach at him is around round 3, so I probably won’t be owning him this year.
Bay: He’s not the 5 stud he once was. He’s lost his speed and after having that brutal year last year I think it’s way too early to gamble on him at 5.06. I’d much rather have a couple young guys such as Pence, C.B.Young, Kinsler, etc.
I think you are missing the word "tool" between 5 and stud.
For the draft, Atkins at 28 was probably the biggest reach, I'd have a hard time committing to him as a top 3 player on my team over guys like Granderson and Morneau who were still on the board.

No, No, SG meant stud. Bay turned him down in the past

Yeah, I meant 5 tool stud. I was in a real rush and Omaha wanted the comments in as soon as possible. So I wrote those comments in about a couple of minutes.
Haven't had a chance to look at this yet guys, but I plan to on Wednesday and I plan to get the mocking bird icons handed out as well. Didn't want you guys to think I forgot or anything, just been really busy.
Yes doctor, I am sick. Sick of those who are spineless. Sick of those who feel self-entitled. Sick of those who are hypocrites. Yes doctor, an army is forming. Yes doctor, there will be a war. Yes doctor, there will be blood.....
