So I assume Nath is cool with wiper being generally unavailable.

I'll leave it to the thread to reconcile picks.

CVigg - we've got Biiiiigchips, Rebecca Twigley and uscpf who all can help you out as assistants.

Also, someone (preferably one of the owners involved in the trade) needs to flip all of Epipen/SteroidBoy's picks with all of TheUntouchable's picks. Only the first round changed.

Bosh slightly high for NBA guys. A couple players still available I'd prefer to build a team around for 1 year over him.

What was the justification for Rivers over Rodgers?

This is key imo. He's a good second banana in this but he's not other worldly on the offensive end (there are a couple of guys who still are) and is not a good defensive big. I really don't get the pick. Maybe if this were dynasty and you could project improvement in his game once he's use to not playing with mongoloids, but not in this.

whats not to get? Bosh is a top 10 NBA player who has never had any injury issues.

He's not top 10. I have all 8 of those taken before him ahead of him and several more.

No injury issues is what Victor is on about with results orientated thinking. The guy is 7 foot, he is therefore always susceptible to injury issues.

Taking an NFL or NBA player seems like -EV at this point. I'll leave it to you all to decide how bad an MLB pick this is.

Bosh made a huge jump offensively last year when he stopped taking so many jumpers. He's maybe not quite at one undrafted's level, but he's close and he does pretty much everything else better. It's hard to put too much blame on him defensively given how little the Raptors seem to care about defense. I'd expect his defense to be much better this year on the Heat. He's absolutely BPA in the NBA right now imo.

LL,

It would have been a much better pick a year ago. There are some serious injury concerns there now, imo.

Lincecum's fastball velocity.

As such there are a handful of pitchers I'd rather have.

There's at least one (maybe two) pitcher(s) I would take ahead of Lincecum in a single season draft. He wasn't great this year, and his velocity was down for a lot of the year.

Sorry LL I hate it.

There is one pitcher definitely ahead of him and it's way way too early for a pitcher at all.

AC_Cobra,

ok, but you would be in the minority imo. Bosh is damn good at basketballing.

I think there's an MLB player that was number 2 behind Pujols with a significant gap to the 3rd person. I don't mind an MLB pick here (although I wouldn't have), but I think you had to take a certain guy there if it was an MLB pick and it wasn't Lincecum.
