Picks 41-65 have a 15 year WARP of 4.51, while Picks 66-90 have a 15 year WARP of 4.56. Drafts are a funny thing.
From Rotoworld:
Rotoworld's take, which I agree with 100%:Quote:
A few weeks after anointing Hunter Pence his No. 3 hitter, Astros manager Cecil Cooper indicated that Miguel Tejada would hit in that spot after being acquired from the Orioles.
Quote:
What a mess the Astros' lineup is going to be at the start of the year. Lance Berkman, who is far and away the favorite to have the best OBP on the team, is getting knocked down to the cleanup spot. $100 million man Carlos Lee will hit fifth, and Pence, who was second on the team in OBP last year, gets dropped to sixth. Consider that if everyone were to play 162 games, those three would combine to get about 180 fewer plate appearances than Michael Bourn, Kaz Matsui and Tejada. How anyone can think it's a good idea to have the best players hitting below the worst baffles us.
Plus he is a Drug Cheat
I wonder how the Astros will go about this now, lol.
They won't do anything differently.
Well, if the hype is as true as I think it is, they'll get 4-5 plate appearances a game...:P
I think the Devil Rays come in 4th in the AL East, and the Astrorioles take 5th. Unless Toronto has some injuries.
