I did want who you drafted but not at the cost. They aren't same value :)

Yeah, this draft is pretty light on hitting compared to the pitching side.  There was also a swing of about 15 more pitchers as compared to last year.  There'll probably be some nice finds on the hitting side in the later rounds as a result.

I had a busy first round and now I am done until the 4th round LOL I got two of the better hitting prospects while they were available. I think I'll be able to use Selgado as a starter, too. I really wanted Caton but the one guy I wanted was the 1 guy drafted before I could pick.

OK, so picking 4th I had no chance at Caton... Not sad with adding 3 starting pitchers, but Caton was my preference...

Sorry about the delay. I was asleep when my pick woke up. Wish I was still asleep on my day off but the Universe was having no part of that
