You take him and make a run at him. If he doesn't sign, then you took the BPA and get a pick next year anyhow.

You can spend that money in LA or at the deadline anyhow.

Slightly OT - Posturing

Why would any teams posture by lying about who they are picking? Since picks can’t be traded, there is no fear that someone will trade up to take the player they want. Just say who you want, and hope he’s still there when you pick. If someone likes him ahead of you, he’ll be gone regardless of what you say.

There have been a lot of weird things that i have seen in my life before, but this tops them all. Do you really believe that there is/was such a thing as a flying spaghetti monster? Seriously, how fucking old are you? I know there’s such a thing as freedom of speech and expression, but this kinda shit should be banned. Theres is only one God and one Holy Word. Why dont you people get that? How much sense does it make to say that decreasing numbers of pirates lead to an increase in average global temperature? Is that science or some fifth grader trying to sound smart?"

Switch hitter

been doing it since he was 2 or 3. Awesome bat speed. Might be a decent 3B down the road.

Hits for average, hits for power, great patience, plus base runner, despite mediocre speed.

Think Chipper Jones
