Gerrit Cole is a big reach here, though OOTP might bail you out.

Gerrit Cole? lol

I am literally on vacation in a cabin this week so I apologize if I'm stinking this up or something, but I think it was a reasonable choice. Or I could be really dumb!

Well rest assured in the next 22 rounds I will be able to do a little bit of research and still pick poorly.

Jeff Samardzija has finally been taken. Why did it take so long?

He was on my small list still but PECOTA also hates him I do believe (I think I read this months ago??? maybe not)

please keep this stuff to the discussion thread guys

I don't know how I posted that in the wrong thread this morning but that's entirely my fault. Sorry!

Also my team is going to have the worst offense in the league. Probably going to be a mistake. But maybe....

I considered Everth, but holy gently caress he can't get on base to save his life.

Luckily I don't plan on my team scoring many runs, so

Good defense at a prime defensive position. As long as he isn't batting leadoff, and he can manage like a .330 OBP he's probably a useful player.

I just wanted to have a guy with 100 stolen bases, but yeah

Confirmed

I believe I edited the spreadsheet correctly but if someone wants to doublecheck, be my guest.

And that's my offense completed.

Now about that pitching staff...

We are on complete opposite ends of the drafting spectrum as I finished my rotation in the 8th round.

I don't draft in a loooooong time now, but for future reference how interchangeable are positions? For example, would I be able to play Nelson Cruz at 1B without it being a disaster (even though he's never played there in his career), or is he stuck in the outfield?

e: ^^^ Boooo don't game OOTP draft to reality

That's fine if that's the case, I'm not trying to game anything. Just seeing what my options are at the assend of the draft. Position eligibility is very important obviously.

Unrelated: is it okay to trash talk at all, or discuss top 5 worst rotations/lineups, etc?

The A's lineup so far is 6 righties and 1 switch hitter. The rotation is all right handed pitching. Someone didn't think about handedness while drafting!

I think it seems a bit silly after coming this far, but I would support it if that's what everyone wants to do. As noted, it's not going to make a big difference.

I wonder which team has the highest payroll.

Not me! My team comes in at $58 million in 2014 salary going by Cot's. I assume the White Sox will have the lowest.

Oakland has their stuff on the team page. Let the machine determine the strategy things.
