Assessing the draft: Phightin Sillies


(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.)

Adam took us all on a great ride last year, winning some huge matchups and staying in the playoff race right up until the final month. But this year is not off to a good start, with him having missed most of the draft.


Focus: Hitting. Adam didn't take a live pitcher until the 11th round and that was a closer. His first starter was Round 14.

Storyline: When will Adam show up? We knew he was going to miss the first few rounds because he was at a Flyers game, but we didn't know when he would get there. He finally arrived in the teens to stop the bleeding.

Headscratcher: When Adam was unaware he didn't have Kendry Morales and B.J. Upton on his roster. Why didn't he know he was losing two draft picks for keeping Josh Beckett and Manny Ramirez, despite the rules being clearly told to him and posted everywhere?
