What a deep, deep, deep position. Franco/Correa at 10/11 feels both absolutely absurd and perfectly correct. I could quibble with Semien (still don’t think his performance is repeatable; he was an average batter for 3 months of the season and ridiculously hot for 3 months of the season) and Anderson (LOVE him as a player, but I’d take Franco or Correa, personally, unless I really needed the SB boost) being above Franco/Correa… but I could also go the other way.
Agreed on the depth. I was ready to come up with plenty of arguments about how Brendan Rodgers is going to shoot up the list by spring training, but then I wasn’t really sure if he would even get past Willy Adames at #16. Can’t pick a bad one, it seems.
this is why i never pick a SS early in drafts
