I don't know about that, he was drafted first in the second round. There are gonna be players not even drafted that end up putting in better numbers than guys we drafted relatively early on. If he was picked in say the 4th round, then yeah he'd be the bigger steal.

Come on Alex, he was the 21st player selected that will be top 5 for 10 years.

Look at it by rankings: Braun is PROBABLY top 10 this year (remember the loss of Prince), and was drafted 21st. There will be at least one guy who won't even be drafted, who will end up ranking in the top 200. Going by rankings, that would make him more valuable. Braun's numbers will be better obviously, but somebody out there will be a better deal.

Also with him being under so much scrutiny and with Prince Fielder gone I don't think he's going to be top 10

I don't think someone who is undrafted being ranked a mediocre 199 at the end of the season is a bigger steal than an MVP drafted 15+ slots lower than he should have been, but that's my opinion. Remember this is a dynasty league. We can revisit this in 5 years.

Yeah I forgot about the keeper aspect of it. 5 years from now he will most likely be the biggest steal. You're definitely right on that.

3 to 5 years out Braun might not even be playing baseball so dynasty or not he won't be a steal then eh? I have to agree he fell a little bit, but if he is picked within the top 2 rounds nobody is really a steal.

Without the suspension he was a middle 1st so an early 2nd is not the big of s fall. putz in the 10 was a bigger steal imo.

middle 1st round pick?
where have you been?
he's a top 5 in any league.
and getting a top 5 as 21st pick id definitely the steal of the draft
putz is a favourite player to you.
he wasn't even on any of my lists

My argument isn't that he will be out it is a possibility that any player can get hurt and not return to the game at anytime. Which is why I believe any top guy is worth a first or second rd pick and the ranking within those first two rounds of a draft is neither important nor discussion worthy.

Getting your panties in a bunch are we powerman? Time will tell who the "STEAL" of the draft is. It is not like Braun fell to round 6, he feel a 15 to 20 picks at best and in many leagues he went in 5th round. I think the coup would have been Erik getting Braun with KEMP, that would have been priceless.

Thanks, but I think I made a couple mistakes along the way. Moreland could be a great pick as I am a Rangers fan and he is under pressure this season to get the BA up if he wants to stay in the rotation. now that we are a few rounds into the draft strategies are comming into view. I know you will/should win the saves catagory each week. I am very nervous about the Halladay/Jennings trade too. I normally don't value SP anywhere near hitting but I just couldn't go into the season with DARVISH as my ace...lol I got out drafted in the 4th & 5th rounds and it took a trade and makeup picks later to fix it.
