I see your thought process of going with a few older players that are closer to the majors and it makes sense. I think if you/me continue pulling the younger guys we will have to weed out some rookie league prospects to keep some sort of balance. I think either approach is acceptable but in a couple seasons we may be forced to sign free agents to bridge the gap until the rookie league guys are ready. | ||

This is the guy I drafted; he just threw an absolute gem and has an ERA just above 2.00 -- and I drafted him in the fourth round last season. So, in just under one season, he has pitched in 69 league innings with an ERA of 3.13. Yes, this is in Division V, but nonetheless his numbers are still impressive. | ||

I have that similar logjam but I think it will work itself out a bit over time and when I need to thin the roster a bit I can make some more informed choices. I did go any player this week but the most promising one was an 18 year old who is in rookie ball. | ||
