Each day, we'll be conducting preseason interviews, or draft postmortems, if you will.See what each manager had to say about his team immediately after the draft, and what he would change about it.
Up next: Andy, AKA Los Pollos Hermanos
Q: Which pick of yours did you like the most? Why?
A: Jeff Samardzija in Round 7. I have high hopes for this guy and I read an article in which he said he dumped his girlfriend because he wanted to prepare and stay mentally focused. Who wouldn't want a guy that dedicated on their team?
Q: Who was your biggest steal?
A: Cliff Lee. Yes, I'm declaring my biggest steal to be in the second round. I thought about taking him with my first pick, both before and during the draft, so him falling to me as the fifth pitcher drafted was very unexpected.
Q: Which pick would do over again? Why?
A: Alex Rios. I absolutely dislike him and he had a miserable season the last time I rostered him. I don't like taking players who have burnt me in the past, but he was sitting there for about three rounds past his projected value. By the 10th round and 114th overall, it simply became a value pick at that point.
Q: Where do you project yourself to finish in your division?
A: "If you're not first, you're last."
