Sweet draft man! I thought I had a good one! I am the padres and we had a top pick. I couldn't decide if I wanted this A pot. 3rd baseman (18 yo) or this A pot CF (22yo, but really good contact) I decided to pick the 3rd baseman, but in round two, the CF was still there!!! Got both, but rest of my picks were F pot!

I just finished April in year 3. My record is 13-11 which is good enough for 3rd place 4 games back of the Red and 3.5 back of the cardinals.

My top pitchers are Jarred Cosart(#4) and Paul Clemens (#5). Cosart is 0-1 with a 1.76ERA and 22K's in 30.2 innings. He needs some run support. Clemens is 3-1 with a 1.78ERA with 18k's in 30.1 innings. He is also sporting a WHIP of just 1.15. Lyles and Norris are both off to slow starts but will hopefully turn things around soon.

Hitting is my problem so far as I just can seem to get much run support for the pitchers. Bogey is my best hitter thus far hitting at a .351 clip, 0HR, 9RBI, and 9-9 in the stolen base department. Singleton started to put things together at the end of April and has his average up to .234 with 2HR, 9RBI. Altuve and Paredes have been pretty solid so far batting .333 and .278 respectively. The rest of the linup is struggling. Martinez is batting .198 with 1HR.. Chris Johnson fell off the planet and is hitting .222 with 1HR.. Lowrie is batting .194.. Castro .225.

Schafer is in AAA after a terrible start.. same with Happ. I am thinking it is about time for Castellanos' debut as he is hitting very well in AAA. I will also be searching the trade market soon for an OF. I currently have Paredes, Altuve, Ramiro Pena, and Delino Deshields at 2B. I also have an A prospect 1st baseman hitting well in AA who probably won't see the show because of singleton (and also 4 B rated prospects).

Perfect draft! Great job on the scouting!

thanx man.....the latter 4 guys weren't the highest overall players available at the time i picked them but i couldn't pass them up....this draft will hopefully add quality depth to the already-mediocre Astros farm
