However, I should note because of Bonn-Bonn's draft position, he had the league maximum break in between his picks at 51 and 70, so it's likely McCutchen wouldn't have made it back to him at 70, so using the 50th or 51st on McCutchen is justifiable if he really likes McCutchen.

[Kingdom]

Maybe he likes his hair, and that was the selling point.

[realmofotalk]

Umm, yeah, good luck with the cornrows effect. Because it has worked just wonderfully for Kwame Brown, Tyronn Lue, and Vladimir Radmanovic.

And Smush Parker!

What is the average position for McCutchen? Is round 5 too high in a 10 team league.. basing it on he's going to make the leap in his first full year? On the flip side, Cantu is that low? You know he's going to give you power and drive in others, and because the other corner guys are Bonificio and Gaby Sanchez, the playing time is always there.

McCutchen went middle of round 8, Cantu round 18, Zambrano round 11 in mine.

That is way too high for RRS you silly Mariners fan

[Porter]

It might be, I was running out of time trying to find JA Happ. RRS will be a solid starter.

[missionhockey21]

Vernon Wells is an interesting pick, how has he looked in the spring?

[MarinersFan87]

Yeah, RRS was the last guy I took in my draft, but I think he's going to have a solid year.

[Porter]

I put him on a watch list. I havent heard too much and I needed another MR.

Still comatose
