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: Jack, AKA Billy Ball
Q: Which pick of yours did you like the most? Why?
A: This one is a no brainier. Getting Tulo back. At the number 5 pick I thought for sure he would be long gone. I actually had to quickly Google him in that 90-second slot to make sure something didn't happen that I missed since I was out on the golf course all day.
Q: Who was your biggest steal?
A: Time will tell on this one but getting Carl Crawford in the 9th draft round, Shane Victorino in the 8th draft round, and Rickie Weeks in the 7th draft round all feel like they were pretty measured risks. They could prove to be steals or busts, but at the slots I took them the risk/reward made sense and I hope the upside comes in.
Q: Which pick would do over again? Why?
A: Honestly - other than the catcher in the 5th round that I had to take for the forfeited pick - I would pick them all the same way. I generally picked the best player available (by my measure) through the first few rounds, then tried to fill in the position needs come mid draft.
Q: Where do you project yourself to finish in your division?
A: I'm a real estate guy. Go big or go home. I wish everyone good luck chasing second place.
