| - | 2023. Rockem Sockem 22 Preview: | + | ====== |
| - | Ahh Florida…thankfully I think Rockem is done with visiting the wang of the United States. Spring Training, World Baseball Classic, that sums it up. Hassles all around, league members on the precipice of life changing events, yet through it all I heard multiple times from all different people how happy they were to be in this, together. | + | Ahh Florida…thankfully I think Rockem is done with visiting the wang of the United States.

| Onto the preview. This is the most wide open draft and the most wide open MLB has been in our 22 years. No consensus anywhere, could be 100% wrong with my views below and I would not be shocked if the team I pick to finish 12th wins the whole thing; it is going to be a fun year of baseball. | Onto the preview.

| On top of all that uncertainty we have rules changes for 2023. Will lefty averages shoot through the roof, will SB totals rival Vince Coleman? Will absolutely nothing change?!? Can’t wait to watch it with you guys as the season plays out. | On top of all that uncertainty we have rules changes for 2023.

| - | As always I am just dealing with your team as of the draft with my takes; I can’t keep track if you picked up Johnny Hotnuts or slipped the tongue to Malcolm McVultureSave. I am not going off past managerial performances either…some of you have taken August off in previous seasons. | + | As always I am just dealing with your team as of the draft with my takes; I can’t keep track if you picked up Johnny Hotnuts or slipped the tongue to Malcolm McVultureSave. I am not going off past managerial performances either…some of you have taken August off in previous seasons. I am also doing this before I read your responses to my questions, any connection is just serendipitous. In Draft Order… |

| - | Burnes/Cole on the snake. | + | Burnes/Cole on the snake. Never a scenario I considered ever…..but the obvious choice at the time. It changed the draft for me because it forced me to go all offense and not upset with any of my choices for the next 12 rounds. Should have taken Brusdar before Lang……but oh well. |

| Behind Judge, Cole and Burnes, Bull went for 2 options, fairly steady producers (Albies, Correa, Lowe) and Orioles (Rutschman, Gunnar, Santander, Mateo). Hey man, we give sh!t to Vig and Wilson for picking Yanks, Bull’s team should just move into Camden yards…this could the right year to do it though, because none of those picks look like a stretch..If a few later picks like Baez return to form, look out for Big Bull…or if the O’s implode, welcome to Bodymore Murderland. | Behind Judge, Cole and Burnes, Bull went for 2 options, fairly steady producers (Albies, Correa, Lowe) and Orioles (Rutschman, Gunnar, Santander, Mateo).
