6.9 SP Fransisco Liriano, MIN
Had a coin flip here in my mind. Couldn't see the difference- I'm sure one will be better than the other at the end of the season, but I couldn't divine it now. SI

If he does you get some great value in the 6th.

He's a solid 6th rounder because of his position, but health isn't his only concern. Over his last 1000 AB's, he's been terribly mediocre.

Edited because my bold didn't show up correctly. BTW, Roy, that grammatical error was for you. It's hard living in Chicago where everyone is a sCrUBS or White Sux fan, guh!

Well-played sir! My big problem is that I've lived in ten different states so I really haven't much of the opportunity to be the "home team" fan. So it sucks to be surrounded by other fans 99.9% of the time. |

Mat Latos was the other guy I was deciding between. Went with Liriano, tho.

I was *not* about to take Prado!
(But that's only because I have no idea who I'm about to take so I'm also hitting the lists) SI

Danny, if you had a choice between both, would you have gone Morales still?

Yes, though it was close. I think if this was 5x5 it's a tossup, but Morales should post a better OPS giving him the overall edge for the extra two categories. Of course, he has the greater health concern.

SO overall, I think Butler is the more safe choice, but Morales has a potential greater reward. I think both are solid picks though.

That was my thought, too- Morales had higher upside but higher volatility whereas I kindof knew what I was getting with Butler and, at worst or best, might be pleasantly surprised or slightly underwhelmed. Wow- 9 in the thread right now SI

I'm filling out brackets and playing Pokemon, so, in short- not much going on.

So is the next pick due by 10:18 or does anything after 10 move to the next morning?

(It's 6 hours so it would be 11:18) But, if no pick is made, the next one is slotted for 9am tomorrow morning. Typically, the last weekend we tighten those rules up a bit because we're getting down to the wire but, for now, the weekends are more relaxed, assuming people have more to do.
Of course, if someone (or multiple people) make(s) a pick overnight, then the next one is due at 10am. SI
