Good morning.
This my official first mock draft for
2018. I did have an early one that had the average from two mock drafts, but I
really needed more to get a more accurate look at what the so-called experts
are saying.

We need to slip to # 3 so we can draft a shortstop!
ReplyDeleteLong range SS too...
ReplyDeleteMight Bryce Harper's likely season ending knee injury result in a Curtis trade to the Nats?
ReplyDeleteLOL I guess we traded Bruce to soon
ReplyDelete2017: what a long, strange trip it's been.
ReplyDeleteI bet we land the Oregon OF... I mean sandy only seems to like kids who play in Oregon schools
ReplyDeleteTotally unrelated to this article but did sandy trade Waller for a PTBNL so we wouldn't be able to kill the trade since we don't know who that player is yet...
ReplyDeleteAlso it says we sent cash ... can't you see the interview now... "See we told you it was not about salary dumps"
Eddie - my guess is the Mets did not send too much cash - but Walker was owed $5 MM so the Brewers likely thought that was too much.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the player to be named later will be Kirk Nieuwenhuis - he is hitting .235 for their AAA affiliate, with the usual excessive strikeouts.
Few think re-signing Neil Walker was a good idea - but if not for his badly pulled hammy in mid_June, he might be having a heckuva season. He stunk in April, but in 37 May and June games pre-hammy, he hit about .320/.390/.570. If he had kept that up, it sure would have seemed to NOT be excessive $$.
I would bring back walker to play 3b for a year...
ReplyDeleteI think that's smarter than multi year deal for moose...
Eddie, I wonder if he'd want something like 2 years, $20 million total. He might want a little more, but my guess is he'd want 2 years minimum. Two years would likely get us to Jhoan Urena or Andres Giminez., if they turn out to be viable major leaguers.
ReplyDeleteWalker cannot be nearly replaced by Cecchini nor Reynolds nor Evans, so they better not be thinking any of those 3 as solutions. They are not even close.
I would consider a 2 year deal but really I want a shot at the 2018 class... I would take any of the Donaldson machado (my favorite) or Harper...
ReplyDeleteI think the idea of 400 million is over
But all those guys are 3-4 hitters... by then cespedes is 2 years left ... wright I would think would be resolved and conforto would show if he is a real 3/4 hitter and the others (Rosario, dom smith) would show who they are
