| - | I was stoked to get Anthony volpe because I have been paying attention to him for a while and I think he will be a legit top 5 SS/MI. | + | |

| - | All the shit I read about him suggested he should go no later than the 8th round. | + | |

| Commish’s Take: | Commish’s Take: | ||
| - | Back in 2003, your humble Commish drafted Eric Hinske in the 4th round. The pick was notoriously bad, earning an award for the biggest bust to be named after him. However, he was reigning Rookie of the Year…Ladies err Gentlemen, I submit to you, the worst pick in Rockem History, Anthony Volpe in the 7th Round of Rockem 22. Will he make the Opening Day Roster? Doubtful (Editor' | + | While Birdie' |
| - | {{https:// | + | The snake always makes for reaching, but in overall evaluation, I think Ferrari was pretty restrained. Which, again in a wide open league, could be a plus, but Devers, Tucker, Seager Abreu, Reynolds, Kirk, Arraez, Marte all strike me as safe but not really the kind of guys that win you a league. The arms are a bit more intriguing with Verlander, Castillo, Cortes, Garcia, and Lopez who all could be dynamite, but the bullpen of just Bednar, that facking Mick Finnegan and maybe May weigh it down from reaching elite pitching status to these eyes. |
| - | Listen, I will confess I thought Vig was on to something after his first four rounds, I like all of the picks of Yordan (broken hand), Tatis (cheater), Max (insane) and Woodruff (umm looks doughy?) but Varsho was shaky and then Volpe…the cliff was well and good jumped off of. Tom’s draft last year was straight up Woof, but Vig may top him this year. | + | {{https:// |

| - | A collection of very iffy bounce backs (Bellinger, Kimbrel, Ozuna, Suarez) and a bunch of never was (Senga, Vargas, Kelenic, Torkelson) is a brutal combo. Vig’s taking on so much risk he is making Winston’s job look safe…too soon? | + | OK, let’s go to the robots and see what they say: |

It poo-poo’s Vig, Mike and Tom’s offensive.
