-On the O side, Power shouldn’t be an issue with the Incredible Hulk, err Judge, Vinnie Badabing Pastquatch and Eugenio. He shows some speed with Turner and Crews while the most exciting part of Moon’s team is his young OF stars with Churo and Langford. If those two put it all together this could be a very very tough squad…jesus christ did I just talk myself into liking Moon’s team?!?!+On the O side, Power shouldn’t be an issue with the Incredible Hulk, err Judge, Vinnie Badabing Pastquatch and Eugenio.

-Thanks Paul.+Thanks for noting Paul. Well,thanks for the music I guess...
  
-To be honest, I was stretching the theme a little bit up there because outside of those players, his team is pretty together, if a touch underwhelming with the likes of Santandar, Webb, Garcia, Springer and Paredes. As usual I think some of Tom's risks pay off, some crap the bed and some are inbetween…what does that add up to?+To be honest, I was stretching the theme a little bit up there because outside of those players, his team is pretty together, if a touch underwhelming. The likes of Santandar, Webb, Garcia, Springer and Paredes are OK, but not boner inducing like that lady who played Joan Baez in that Dylan flick...smoking.

 Prediction: Middle third. I think the middle feels about right with this squad. Prediction: Middle third. I think the middle feels about right with this squad.

-My initial sense from Tangled Upton Blue is all or nothing. If De La Cruz is the deal, Ju-Rod keeps it kosher, Swaggy V is the superstar we all want him to be and Crochet is a CY Young winner…woof. All of that is possible, but I am not sure it is likely. After the top three on Offense, he has some dependable, if not super exciting bats (Naylor, Siemen, Perez, Castellanos, Nimmo O’Neil) should be stable. If Arozarena gets it together that could be a great pick. Truly though the offense runs through the up and coming superstars for Don, if they deliver and watch out.+My initial sense from Tangled Upton Blue is all or nothing.

 On the Pitching front, he backed up Crochet with Burnes, Bibee and Perralta. Very solid. I have buried the lead here though as for the first time ever (not checking if that is accurate) McNally drafted 2 closers!!! Iglesias and Duran are top notch and Yates will def sneak a few SV’s….hmm don’t look now but Don’s team could be sneaky good. On the Pitching front, he backed up Crochet with Burnes, Bibee and Perralta.

 The first bat off the board is a recovering Acuna? Mike’s plan was certainly different this year, but if Acuna is in form, if Albies is back and if Bellinger and Bichette both smoke some herb and hallucinate themselves as MVP candidates again maybe Mike can make a run. But wow, that was a whole lot of ‘if’s”. As this team stands I don’t think all of them hit the board. The first bat off the board is a recovering Acuna?

-Mike goes for all or nothing these days and looking much more probable one way than the other at this point…+Mike goes for all or nothing these days and looking much more probable one way than the other at this point…MIke didn't like my pick for the drafting spot, so he really isn't going to like this...
