The Other Billy Zoom's picture

Somehow the good Doctor has mentioned a "consensus" list of possibilities that will go high, "consensusing" from draft professionals, semi-pros, and amatuer hour.

With a new draft  guru for the M's, you just can't be sure in there is a formula other than an unweighted BPA.

But, I'm guessing DePoet will repeat his daily double with a college arm and a HS bat, or a HS bat and a college arm in their first two selections.

I was asstounded to learn than most major league clubs never get more than one starter (SP, reliever, or position player) out of any draft.

Do DePoet's methodology of churning the roster is an advantage that other clubs will soon be emulating.

Oh, yeah, Chris Crawford figures a player getting to the majors is based on 2/3 talent, and 1/3 development.

In the past, the M's have been a revolting development.

I'm going to the ticket window with a Sgt Schultz "I know nothing" approach in selecting a daily double.

SP David Peterson in the first, and 1 of 5 high school position players in the second:  C Luis Campuscho; OF Garrett Mitchell; 1B/3B Mark Vientos; 1B/3B Ryan Vilande; and C M.J. Melendez.

This wager is for recreational purposes only.
