Day 3 in the books. Here is the roster grid and rosters have been updated online.
Observations
- Three teams have two starters. Which two do you like the best?
- Pedro Martinez and Zach Greinke (John J)
- Greg Maddux and Christy Mathewson (Joe V)
- Randy Johnson and P Alexander (Richard G)
- Justin P has set a new unofficial record - earliest reliever taken. Red Ryan was taken 75th overall last year (Rd 4), a record then, but JP jumped even early at 70th (Rd 3).
- Jake Arrieta joins the previously drafted Zach Greinke as two high risk/high reward players taken in crucial early rounds.
- Overall, this continues to be the best draft in our history. Owners have done their homework!
Really good drafting so far. I think what will really make or break teams will be the players drafted starting next week. All 3 of those pitching duos are pretty nice. If Greinke turns out to be a top tier pitcher, teaming with Pedro could be lethal. I like Arrieta just as much as Greinke, maybe even better. Kudos to the owners who took a chance on each of them.
