[USML Announce] Drafy Day Observations......

[Jeffrey Winick]

I'm certainly no fan of Mark Reynolds and his .198 average, but I do 
think he'll put up the power numbers.  The problem is that Adam Dunn 
will hit more home runs (perhaps a lot more) and is nearly a lock to 
hit at his standard .260 average.  For $11 more, he was the far better 
way to go.

As for comparisons to Edwin Encarnacion, I'm no fan of his either, but 
he's $8 cheaper and he hit 21 home runs last year in only 330 at bats 
due to health issues.  If he can stay healthy, at least he has some 
upside.

Mark's point is well taken and why Andy's buy of Alex Rodriguez (and 
maybe Rich's buy of Michael Young) now looks so shrewd.  There simply 
wasn't much available at third base.

Agreed on Reynolds IF he hits .198 again, but if he hits .240 (more
consistent with prior years), then $18 seems non-puzzling.  That said, I
am not wild about having him.  I wish I had bought a 3B earlier; there
were not many left when I bought him.  Encarnacion went later for $10
with lower power numbers and comparable average (again, assuming .240).

Puzzlers: Scott Baker-$20....Mark Reynolds-$18.....Red Hots filling
ute with Yorvit....Nukes.....A. Escobar-$22.....David
Ortiz-$1.....Berliners getting away with buying both Verlander and
Lester (granted, they ended up with Teahan and Encarnacion, but
still.....).....

First report of post-draft injury: was it Duchscherer (MRH-$1) and his
hip? Didn't he get that replaced yet?
