(Editor's note: This is the latest in a series of posts briefly breaking down each team's draft. It will culminate in the debut of the 2010 Power Rankings at the end.)
Chris, from all reports, has actually gotten over last season's unbelievably dramatic loss in the final week of the regular season. He's ready for a new season of baseball, especially after his Bronx Bombers (the real ones) captured No. 27. But oh what I wouldn't give to see another ending for the Bronx Bombers (the fantasy ones) like last year's!
Focus: Hitting. Chris took Mark Reynolds with the first live pick, making him the only manager in the league with two 40-plus homer guys. He stacked up with hitters early and often, using his first three live picks on them and six of his first seven.
Storyline: Chris is usually one to speak his mind during the draft, chat with the other managers and give his two cents. But there was very little of that, prompting one to wonder if this is a new Chris we are seeing? A new, more focused manager lacking trash talking?
Headscratcher: For some reason, Chris is obsessed with Carlos Quentin this year. He's completely overvaluing the outfielder, hardly taking into account how injury-prone he is. He took Quentin in the 10th round over proven, healthy guys. But the bigger headscratcher came when Chris declared Quentin would hit 40 HRs and 110 RBIs!

also the same manager who took 2 injury plagued centers in basketball that have had monster years... and no, there will be plenty of trash talking, what kind of absurd thought is that?
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for Quentin to prove me right
ReplyDeleteI think Quentin is gonna have a nice year as well, maybe not 40 Hr's but I could def see 30+. He may have reached a little but he should probably get a decent return
