Next Sim: Monday @ 6:30 AM

[NYgiantsfan5689]

Gonna do this pretty soon after the draft.

Deadline is 12 AM (midnight) for all changes.

I will upload the site with all draft picks after the draft so that if any picks don't belong in the minors section they are put, you can move them.

[Providence A's]

I'll have my changes after the draft...waiting for General to post my trade. Buck didn't think he had to send it to General because I did...

[NYgiantsfan5689]

draft is complete, sim still stands.

[Providence A's]

changes sent...leave my setup and closer the same. I didn't specify that in my PM, but didn't think I really needed, too...just making sure.

[NYgiantsfan5689]

i gotcha

[HollywoodLeo]

I don't know who I got in round 2 on cuz I forgot to send my list.

Is the full draft list posted somewhere?

The good news is (for me) Philly got Fukudome and you did not.

[HollywoodLeo]

He lasted that long?

[NYgiantsfan5689]

i'm updating the site in like 10 minutes, so it will show it then

That he did. I really didn't want a 32 year old outfielder and I'm more in need of power and not Roger Cedeno II. So basically PA gets Soto out of Beltran and replaces Beltran with his 2nd rounder. Highway robbery!

twas my hopeful strategy all the long

I would have been happy with just moving Soto to LF and Hermida to CF as a result of the Beltran trade, but it was too good to pass up. I get immediate help, albeit older, but he'll be cheap for the duration (league minimum for 3 seasons before he hits arby).

[HollywoodLeo]

I don't know if I would have taken him anyways, though.

My OF is full and I already spent my first round pick on a 28 year old pitcher as is.

[Kingdom]

I just didn't want him in the division.
We all just about drafted ML ready types.

[Providence A's]

I really would have been stupid not to take him...the specs really started to fall off at that point. So it was pick a guy I may never have a use for or pick a guy I can use now and that should be around for 4 - 5 years. Essentially, I traded Beltran for 3B/SS/LF/RF 5.0 spec Soto and OF 3.0 Fukudome like KoZ said...that never would have passed especially given that Fukudome will be working for the minimum since he was drafted and not signed as a FA or something.

[Kingdom]

Right time right place.
