Here is my most updated draft:

Based off what I’ve read, the Cards are looking at a safe position player. I went with Wong for the fact that it’s a safe pick and a guy that could move quickly into a weak position. It’s not my favorite pick for them, but goes with what I’ve read and heard.

Ok, that’s fair. It’s pretty much a pick your best out of a bag of similarly rated kids.

What exactly are you disagreeing with?

I do tend to agree that Fernandez is at his projection physically, and probably is going to be a guy you have to worry about his conditioning. However, he also has the stuff NOW as opposed to a projection like a Owens. Fernandez is going to be expensive as well.

I also agree Stephenson will most likely be gone as well, but if we’re talking about who we like and don’t like, I’m going to talk about who I like and don’t like as much. Stephenson has been a guy I’ve really liked all along, and he could go anywhere from 15 to into the sandwich rounds. There will be surprise picks…there always are.

Completely disagree, Stephenson will be gone because he’s going to take slot for the Dodgers but Fernandez is already at his projection and I see him filling out like Jonathan Broxton. He screams closer. Which is good but not at 22 with all these other guys available.

Well yeah, I said above Norris is my top choice for that pick. Next to no chance Guerrieri is there, so I didn’t include him. Despite the fact that Owens is committed to my beloved Canes, I just don’t really “love” him. I think he’s a projection guy on velocity, and there are guys with velocity and stuff NOW, that also have projection.

I’ve cooled on Owens since my first thought on him.

I also have Norris, Owens and Guerrieri as better options. Guerrieri is the least likely to be there out of all the guys mentioned but his upside is extreme.

Robert Stephenson or Jose Fernandez are much better picks in my view.
