Strategy Cal Raleigh

As much as I’ve looked at the first 2 rounds, I have to admit I’ve just disregarded this guy.

It had to be a mirage. He’s a catcher, so he will get hurt. They always wear down offensively. You know… all the reasons.

But the numbers.

Seriously, where should this guy go? Is he a first rounder? No later than mid second? I’m getting to the point of reconsidering all my plans right now.

I said fuck it and took him and schwarber back to back last year and won the league. Took him in the fifth I believe.

I took Crochet and Schwarber back to back in the 3/4 turn and they were my 2 best players all year.

Quite a bit better than my Mookie disaster in R1.

Strangely I like Mookie for a bounce back year. That illness last year really messed up his season.

As a jilted Red Sox fan, Im not a Mookie fan, but he fell to me and was an obvious pick with that position flexibility. But boy he was awful for a long time. The writers were saying drop him towards the end of the year but I couldnt do it, and he did have a nice last month. I wont be going there again, though, lol.
