Wonder if he will learn from it and be better in the future or whether that's just the way he is.<br />CaputoPat Caputohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05102662407927366439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29764383.post-56587178535389126302009-04-23T22:36:00.000-04:002009-04-23T22:36:00.000-04:00Mike,

At least give Anderson a chance to see if he hits well enough to justify a spot in the lineup everyday, especially at leadoff because of his speed. You can always change if he slumps.<br />CaputoPat Caputohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05102662407927366439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29764383.post-89622468251305470762009-04-23T16:04:00.000-04:002009-04-23T16:04:00.000-04:00Hey Pat, if money is not an issue I would go with ...Hey Pat, if money is not an issue I would go with the QB and an OT at 20. Why not, blow up the draft and set yourself up for next year draft and be ready to go for the 2010 season. Stanford is not going help too much this year and drafting OT at 20 is smart because you find out he can play or not. The second round pick get ILB or Defensive Linemen. With the two third rounders get your safety and Barryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05922015140899150083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29764383.post-79371041214116511642009-04-23T15:29:00.000-04:002009-04-23T15:29:00.000-04:00Pat,

(Or at least that neither player will be "special", just average) I would prefer Maulaluga or Laurenitus to Curry. I wouldn't even mind one of the LB's from the next tier like McKillop. There are a slew of good MLB prospects this year!

Leaving him in for a second innings, though, is asking for trouble. I think Bonine goes to Toledo when Bondo comes back, but is it certain that Rincon will be the one to go when Zumaya comes back?

I personally don't like stafford with the first pick, but I won't hate it. I actually like stafford cause then next year you focus your draft prep on Taylor Mays. THis draft after stafford you need to target maddog52https://www.blogger.com/profile/11049733361898347116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29764383.post-76610415076287900842009-04-22T16:22:00.000-04:002009-04-22T16:22:00.000-04:00Especially with the Thames injury I really believe...Especially with the Thames injury I really believe we should make Guillen the DH, move Granderson down the lineup, and put Anderson in LF and at the top of the lineup.<br /><br />I agree that Granderson is a catalyst for us, but with his ability to hit for extra bases he could be much more deadly with guys on base.<br /><br />Doesn't this lineup look more dangerous than what Leyland is throwing Mikenoreply@blogger.com
