So glad I inherited a 18/16/16 SS when I got this team In 2.5 years of drafting I've managed only one guy (Ramos) that might be able to play middle infield.

ephenssta Joined: 06/29/2016 Posts: 196 Inactive	I'll hope to put him at second or 2B but will probably re-evaluate when he's closer to see if SS is a need. I've had decent luck finding good enough defensive SS, but they often lack the offense to produce anything meaningful.

Totally expecting an 11-pot ... Manuel Félix was a nice surprise Updated Sunday, March 25 2018 @ 2:37:19 pm PDT

My minors are dreadful and he could end up being good enough to be a barely serviceable third baseman. This guy is a clone of my current 3B, only drop everything down a couple points. Do I keep him knowing that I probably won't draft anyone else this season and, more importantly, won't be able to claim anyone? I dunno.

Twenty years old and still in Rookie ball, plus he looks underdeveloped to me — I would cut him without a second thought. Of course, this is coming from a guy who can’t even stay in V to the guy sitting in a tie for the lead in Legends East right now, so… yeah, here’s the salt shaker to go with that.
