AL East Thread

All the grades are based off of where they project guys vs where you take them, I’m sure you know

taking a guy 30 picks before their projections is as extreme as it gets I guess

You always liked to live on the edge anyway.

You know that’s roll

boring chalk guys can win the league, I’ll enjoy the guys I think are cool to grab a beer with

@DirtDirtDirt I hope you didn’t draft Eloy Jimenez. Out 5-6 months!!! Wow. That is a huge blow. That kid is just on the brink of being a major star.

The projections are ridiculous anyway. I saw Stanton was ranked like #125 overall. Judge was around #75. Gleyber Torres was way lower than he should have been, too.

Meanwhile, I think this is the big breakout year for Vlad Guerrero Jr and Moncada. I think they both put up monster numbers. Big fan of Gavin Lux with the Dodgers, too. He’s my sleeper pick and the latest star from the Dodgers’ prospect factory.

Months or Weeks? I thought I saw weeks.

Months.

White Sox GM Rick Hahn announced that Jimenez has suffered a ruptured left pectoral tendon and will require surgery. He is indeed expected to miss five to six months of action, putting his entire season in jeopardy.

I did get Vlad, I got the rookie on the White Sox, that white beast DH

I grabbed Wander Franco cause it’s a keeper league

got Tatis with the 5th overall pick

Damn

That's a major hit for them

Type of team that has the looks of the one that will knock off the Yanks in October

They gotta worry about the Twins and Indians first. Maybe even the Royals. (I'm higher on them than most)

Love those picks. Wander Franco is going to be a huge steal for you and I think Vlad is in the MVP race this year.

Tatis 5th is perfect. Saw some rankings that had him #1 overall(and had Trout as the 4th best outfielder?!?). I wasn’t buying any of that.

Great lineup, but not sure about that pitching. Lance Lynn isn’t scaring you in October.

My bad, Tatis 4th overall, I agonized between him and Mookie

I thought my choice would be between Soto and Trout

but:
Acuna
Soto
Trout
Tatis
Betts

Giliota has reached that true ace level
Hendricks is rated as the best closer in baseball

Koepech may have found himself as a dangerous middle inning guy

The rest of the rotation and pen have some holes

the Indians look like cellar dwellars to me

that lineup is brutal

some upside after Bieber but nothing that really screams dangerous team

I guess I’m old school but I’m taking Trout & Mookie 1 & 2. Tatis just doesn’t have the body of work for me to make him a slam-dunk top 3 pick. Acuna and Soto are hard to argue right at the top, but I’m still betting Betts and Trout outperform them.

Yeah that was a tough call for sure
I went with the young excitement

my whole draft was outside the box. I wanted Devers so bad and panicked, he would have def been there for me the next round.

They're young, but they seem to get more out of their pitching year after year than anyone except Tampa.

And Francona's a terrific manager. We'll see. I think they might surprise.

I thought Larussa was such a bad hire, now he has this loaded roster, be interesting
