I don't appreciate the mocking of Dice-K and Vazquez. They've been
stalwarts on the K-9 staff over the years. Which says something
about my pitching.<br>
<br>
I guess we'll be talking trade later in the year ...<br>

<br>
1. Who is this Sabathiato guy?<br>
2. I was listening carefully and didn't hear a
single Wieters comment. In fact, Blocker looked
utterly unphased through the draft.<br>
3. Carl Crawford will likely be worth his $30
salary this year. More importantly, he will be one
of the better keepers for 2013. You can thank me
later.<br>

<div>
<div>I'll try, too ...<br>
<br>
DRAFT DAY STRATEGY<br>
<br>
*Dog Blocker as much as possible in retaliation
for the 2010 Wieters Trade.<br>
*After dealing Sabathiato to Winick, spend less
money on my entire pitching staff than CC's
salary.<br>
*Get outfielders who are likely to play every
day.<br>
*Limit myself to two cups of coffee so as not to
spend half the draft in pain because I had to
take a piss.<br>
<br>
WHAT WENT RIGHT<br>
<br>
*Succeeded in annoying Blocker and bidding up
enough of his guys to ensure that the Bombers
won't compete in 2012.<br>
*Sabathia's salary $34. Klein Nine pitching
staff $32. Check.<br>
*Got every day outfielders.<br>
*Limited coffee intake to two cups.<br>
<br>
WHAT WENT WRONG<br>
<br>
*In bidding up Blocker, I got stuck with some
bums myself. (Seth Smith at $12?)<br>
*Used the biggest coffee mug in Winick's office,
so two cups of coffee felt like five.<br>
*Ended up buying Carl Crawford when I had no
intention of doing so. Crawford was a "Winick
Pick," and the magazine said to bid with
confidence up to $30. I was blithely moving
things along, and then everyone else just
stopped.<br>

Great to see everyone. Dennis, welcome my friend
to the show that never ends. Jim B, congrats and
all the best to your wife and you. And to
everybody else, it was great to see everyone
looking so moderately healthy.<br>
<br>
Now, let me propose something. This proposal
certainly is not intended to displace Jeffrey's
typically self-serving analysis of the draft,
but I ask each team to consider posting its own
critical and objective analysis of its draft day
performance. <br>
<br>
I will begin:<br>
<br>
DRAFT DAY STRATEGY:<br>
* Avoid drafting Shoppach and Cervelli again.<br>
* Corner the market on SB by getting one more
impact SB guy.<br>
* Draft decent SP for under $20.<br>
* Draft one reasonably priced thumper. <br>
* Pick up enough sleepers and keepers via
auction and rotation draft to shop to Winick
when his team crashes and burns in June.<br>
<br>
WHAT WENT RIGHT<br>
* Arrived too late to gorge on doughnuts.<br>
* Personally escorted to draft by always
affable Mark Kerber.<br>
* Elvis at 27, nice SPs from 7 to 17.<br>
* Restocked the Prospect Parade (Segura-1,
yes!!).<br>
<br>
WHAT WENT WRONG<br>
* Arrived too late to gorge on doughnuts.<br>
* Personally escorted to draft by always
affable Mark Kerber.<br>
* Lind-21, Smoak-12, no thumpers and Andrus
surrounded by the likes of Getz and Brignac.<br>
<br>
<br>
OK--who's next??<br>
