[USML Announce] Draft Day Greetings

That would have been damned near impossible.  I'm guessing he's 5' 5" at most.

And despite the fact that he hit into two double plays, my stated conclusion was tongue in cheek.

Damn, I didn't realize Jose Altuve shrunk over the off-season.

At the behest of Brad I hopped on the first plane and headed to Florida to provide a first hand assessment of a few players of particular interest to Mr J. 

Michael Pineda - fat, oddly disinterested and had trouble finding the strike zone. Not looking good at all. 

Gleybar Torres - damn...the Cubs are going to miss this guy. But flags fly forever. 

Chad Green - I'm not sure who grabbed this guy but it was a stroke of genius. He throws hard and was overpowering the Nats hitters. 

Aaron Judge -  This kid is huge. You'd swear he lost his way from the football field if you didn't know better. But he's shortened up his swing and was peppering the ball. I'm a believer. 

Brett Gardner - Stole a base and looked like the catalyst he's always been. 

Joe Musgrove - Should be the 5th starter and he looked great. He's very tall and generates lots of downhill plane that resulted in ground ball after ground ball. 

Jose Altuve - Hit into a double play. Much smaller than expected. When he stood next to Musgrove it looked like father and son. Obviously overrated. 

Josh Reddick - It was warm but we moved close to the plate when Josh was at bat and he generated plenty of breeze to cool us down. 

More to follow.

Dennis,

The league agreed to allow you to extend Jose Berrios' contract a year early.  He is now $23, FA21.  :)

More importantly, when do rosters get updated on OnRoto?  I need to assess the job Brad did in rounding out my squad!

To be fair Brad, he is a Detroit pitcher and that was as close as you were going to get to being a Bonder-man.....

Dear Jeff, in anticipation of your worst pick list, let me clarify that when yesterday I said, "Be a man. be a Zimmermann," I did not intend to purchase Jordan Zimmermann for $1. I just want to make my record.

As always it was my favorite day of the year. Thanks to everyone for making it another successful draft day. 

Neither Triggs nor Reddick were the steal of the draft. The candidates for that honor will be released later this afternoon along with the candidates for worst pick of the draft.
