Not so sure about north of .250, or how far north, but that's not the point of Howard. You don't really have to defend him. Ayebatter was clearly joking.

I guess finishing your hitters means you don't have to send PMs anymore. :-b

So yeah, I don't fully trust Mariano's ability to end his career on a high note.

Love the Jon Jay pick btw. He doesn't do anything great, but he's decent in every category. Pretty good 20th round value.

Wil Myers has been at the top of my draft board for about 3 rounds right now, but in this league it would really hurt if he doesn't make the opening day roster.

Yeah, it is a risk with Myers, but worst comes to the worst, I've blown my 21st rounder. Will be watching the rest of ST with great interest!

I think Myers is a good gamble pick for a solid season. These guys getting taken right now are mostly fliers anyway, but it's always worth a gamble on a Rookie of the Year candidate if everything swings right.

I think it's a longshot that he makes the opening day roster in which case I would think he would have to be dropped and even then its another gamble that he hits for anything more than .250. I do agree that in the 21st round it's a low risk pick. If he still had C eligibility he would have been gone a long time ago.

RJ gets another hour because of daylight savings time, but after that I'm picking.

I'm not saying don't but remember it's not even St.Patty's Day yet and we only have a couple of rounds to go. ;-D

I don't see any reason to rush, especially on a weekend. We'll be done in a less than 2 days the rate we've been going.
