Too Early, Just the Right Spot ;) or Steal: 2020 Edition

Every year we draft and every year we panic and pick a player too early. Some of us reach for players and it pans out. In 2017 Corona Primer (Tim Tebow Time that season) took Marcell Ozuna in the 21st round. That year Ozuna Finished with 124 RBIs. I'm no doctor but if I was I would diagnose that pick as a Steal. You see where I'm going with this so without anymore wasted time I bring to you:

Too Early, Just the Right Spot ;) or Steal

Gerrit Cole - RE2PECT: #1 pick - Yahoo Avg ADP: 1.6


Team Dicks All Rise made a bold move to start off our draft. GM Kyle over here took a pitcher over Ronald Acuna Jr, Christian Yelich, Cody BelBigDonger and the Mickey Mantle of this generation Mike Trout. I know what he would say and what you are all saying "but but Trout will miss time because of the birth of his child. He might not even play this year". Well I have some fucking news for you...this is Mike Fucking Trout...he will play and he will be GREAT. Pitching will be important this year but I have a few rules I live by and one of them is if you have the first pick you take Mike Trout.

This one will hit you all in the feels and give you a secondary stomach ache wave of pain in about 15 mins but our boy Kyle had his first child June 5th. He and his wife Maria welcomed a precious daughter into this word. You know who went to work a couple of days after she was born? Kyle. You know what Trout is about to do after his child is born....Go back to work.

I can go on and on with a pros and cons list but the thing is pro and cons lists are all well and good but there's only ONE FUCKING ANSWER.

Too Early

Sonny Gray - RE2PECT: Round 6 pick 8 - Yahoo Avg ADP: Round 9 Pick 9

Another rule I live by is I never trust a guy with the nickname "Pickles". Nobody has ever been in a situation and said "Thank god Pickles is here" or "Hey your single you should date my friend Pickles, he's a great guy." With that being said I think anthony's Team made a solid move here drafting Pickles in the 6th round. Although Yahoo's "experts" would make you believe that Ant got a steal here I believe this is the best sport for Pickles.

What stood out in Gray's first start this year was his ability to get ground balls. This is huge pitching in Cincinnati and if he can keep that going while still striking out batters at a high rate Ant will have  a pretty good pitching staff.

On the flip side, Sonny Gray's alter and very lame ego "Pickles" could come out. Picture Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde except Mr. Hide is a little guy names Pickles who pouts all the time on the mound and gives up BOMBS.

Just the Right Spot ;)

Anthony Rendon - RE2PECT: Round 3 pick 33 - Yahoo Avg ADP: Round 2 Pick 5

You all fucked up on this one. You all saw a a minor oblique injury and got scared. That's where Clit Frazier came in and stole one of the best hitters in baseball. The 3 Nationals fans in this league should know better. How many little injuries did Rendon have during his time time with the Nats and came through to hit the piss out of the ball? I get it you won the World Series but they should have re-signed him this year. Trea, Soto and Rendon sounds a lot better than Trea, Soto and Starlin Castro.

Rendon returned last year and hit a bomb in the 8th inning. Didn't miss that much time...
