 So usually I only look at the draft and not the injuries that affect/effect/whatever it, but this one is impossible, immediately Mike’s team was re-shaped as Altuve’s thumb was shattered in the WBC post draft. It hurts his squad, but with very flexible stat fillers like Mookie and Witt Jr. he may be able to withhold the 2-3 months without the three apples high Altuve. So usually I only look at the draft and not the injuries that affect/effect/whatever it, but this one is impossible, immediately Mike’s team was re-shaped as Altuve’s thumb was shattered in the WBC post draft.

 Let’s look at his arms first. Can Cease, Javier, Rodon, Snell be legit number 1’s? Yes, Yes, Yes (with a new arm) and Meh (with a pitch clock). There is enough potential there to get the mouth watering and with a semi-healthy Sale waiting in the wings and a decent bullpen of Robertson, Barlow, and Mike’s boy Karinchak, he shouldn’t be hurting on the D side of things. Let’s look at his arms first.

 I find it interesting that our celebrated Commish and reigning champion asked me to write the preview for his team this year. Can he really be sure that I’ll be objective? Hold no grudges? It was, after all, only six months ago that I had to watch him stumble, fumble and crawl his way across the finish line to Rockem glory - putting an end to my meteoric rise from the ashes and crushing my Rockem dreams. I find it interesting that our celebrated Commish and reigning champion asked me to write the preview for his team this year.

 Those three gentlemen alone should provide the commish with some pretty tasty offensive stats. We round things out with that OF - Jimenez, Stanton and Buxton (sounds like Buxom - see Jacqueline Bisset above) and the Commish could have some serious pop! I also think that Vaughn was a steal in the 10th round. I’m not crazy about Rendon as the starting 3B but I won’t be too quick to judge.

 The Champ just keeps drafting teams that I like, steady across the board and def with a legit shot to win the league. I know I usually work up to predictions with these, but there is not a lot to make fun of here. Safe 1st round stat filler (Jose), Top arm (Sandy), solid combo of power and speed guys (Olson, Wander, Garcia, Gimenez, McCarthy) and a good mix of SP’s (Urias, Triston, Peralta) and CL’s (Duran, Leclerc and maybe Phillips). I think BK’s team is going to be good..blah blah blah.

 Not drafting a pitcher until the seventh round gave him a pretty well rounded Bat Cave as Soto, Ohtani, Anderson, Bregman, and Teoscar give a good mix of power, avg, sb’s and O’Neill is a sexy wild card who could be great or a waste of a pick. I dig the gamble with a solid base already in place.

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. Having said that, I don't know if you guys cared about him at all. He may NOT even start. I probably could have waited another 6 rounds to get him. Maybe more.

On the pitching side, things are much closer and the purple people eater digs on Jay Vig, Bull and Fatone and is not a fan of Tom, McNally and Moon’s collective staffs.
  
-1.    86 degrees.    Felt very cold about the how the draft would turn out like the pool when we first got to the house but didnt feel like the 104 degrees we try to get the pool to after the draft was over.+Overall, here is how Yahoo! See’s it shaking out and if the robot is right (which it hasn’t been yet), this will be a blow out:
  
-2.    Luis Castillo as my 2nd pitcher i hope will pay dividends this season.+- Bull 105.5
  
-3.    Vig Rather than punt a category , he chose to punt a position (MI) this year shows we are all playing checkers while he plays chess.+Moon 96
  
-4    From Gatorade via Twitter.  Now go get your shinebox!!+- Fatone 86.5

-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. +- Tom 52.5

-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. +
