Recordando la parte superior del borrador de expansión de 1997

En caso de que te lo hayas perdido, el fundador de MLBTR, Tim Dierkes, y yo nos estamos preparando para un proyecto de expansión simulado que comenzará el jueves a la 1 p.m. CONNECTICUT. En la víspera de nuestro evento, pensé que valdría la pena volver a 1997, la última vez que hubo un proyecto de expansión real en Major League Baseball, y enfocarme específicamente en los primeros 10 jugadores a quienes los Devil Rays y Diamondbacks se llevaron tablero. En la mayoría de los casos, es realmente difícil destacar cerca de la parte superior de ese borrador (aquí hay 70 selecciones si está interesado). Tal vez los leñadores de Portland de Tim y mis Vipers de Las Vegas tropezarán con más gemas el jueves. 1.) Tony Saunders, LHP, Devil Rays: Saunders, que entonces tenía 23 años, venía de un año de novato con los Marlins en el que lanzó una efectividad de 4.61 / 4.46 FIP en 111 1/3 entradas. Poco sabían él o Tampa Bay que su carrera no se extendería mucho más allá de eso. Saunders hizo 40 aperturas y lanzó 234 1/3 entradas de 4.53 ERA / 4.51 FIP de 1998-99, pero se rompió el brazo (advertencia: ese video es difícil de ver) en el montículo en la segunda de esas temporadas y lo rompió nuevamente mientras rehabilitaba al año siguiente. Tuvo que retirarse después de eso. 2.) Brian Anderson, LHP, Diamondbacks: Veinticinco en ese momento, Anderson era un ex No. 3 en la selección general (1993) que venía de una racha de pitcheo poco espectacular con los Angelinos y los Indios cuando fue de Cleveland a Arizona en el draft de expansión. Pero Anderson terminó comiendo muchas entradas como miembro de los Diamondbacks, con quienes registró una efectividad de 4.52 / 4.91 FIP con 4.39 K / 9 y 1.64 BB / 9 en 840 cuadros 2/3 de 1998-2002. Formó parte del único equipo ganador de la Serie Mundial de los D-backs en 2001. 3.) Jeff Suppan, RHP, Diamondbacks: Entonces 22, Suppan venía de un período regular en partes de tres temporadas con los Medias Rojas cuando los Diamondbacks lo seleccionaron. Apenas lanzó para los Diamondbacks, ya que los Reales lo compraron en 1998 después de que Suppan sumó 66 entradas de 6.68 ERA en Arizona. Sin embargo, Suppan tuvo una larga carrera en las Grandes Ligas. Como miembro de algunos equipos diferentes, se combinó para una efectividad de 4.70 / 4.86 FIP y 2,542 2/3 entradas de 1995-2012. 4.) Quinton McCracken, OF, Devil Rays: Un ex Rockie que tenía 27 años cuando llegó el draft de expansión, McCracken tuvo un comienzo decente en Tampa Bay en 1998, cuando bateó .292 / .335 / .410 con siete jonrones, 19 robos y 1.5 fWAR en 675 placas. apariciones. Sin embargo, debido en parte a un LCA desgarrado, McCracken solo reunió una línea de .229 / .308 / .291 con un jonrón, seis robos y menos-1.4 fWAR en 202 PA de 1999-2000. Los Rays lo liberaron después de eso. 5.) Gabe Alvarez, 3B, Diamondbacks: Álvarez, a quien Arizona tomó de San Diego, nunca jugó para Arizona. Los Diamondbacks cambiaron a Álvarez, al derecho Matt Drews y al jugador de cuadro Joe Randa a los Tigres por el tercera base Travis Fryman el día del draft de expansión. Ninguno de Álvarez, Drews o Randa ofreció mucho impacto en Detroit. Fryman no jugó para Arizona, que rápidamente lo volcó y dejó a Tom Martin a Cleveland para el tercera base Matt Williams. 6.) Bobby Abreu, OF, Devil Rays: Esto podría haber sido un robo absoluto para Tampa Bay, pero el club lo desperdició. Abreu, a quien los D-Rays obtuvieron de los Astros, pasó a disfrutar al menos de un "Salón de la Muy Buena Carrera". Jugó con algunos equipos (principalmente los Filis) de 1996-2014 y recortó .291 / .395 / .475 con 288 jonrones, 400 robos y 59.8 fWAR. Sin embargo, ninguna de sus 10.081 apariciones en el plato llegó como Ray, ya que el club lo entregó a los Filis por el campocorto Kevin Stocker el día del draft. Stocker tomó 804 PA con Tampa Bay de 1998-2000 y bateó .250 / .329 / .347 con nueve jonrones. 7.) Jorge Fábregas, C, Diamondbacks: Los Diamondbacks querían tanto a Fábregas que estaban felices de que Tampa Bay tomara a Abreu en su lugar. Ups Más recientemente, miembro de los Medias Blancas cuando los Diamondbacks lo recogieron, Fábregas tuvo una corta temporada en Arizona. Amasó 167 PA con el equipo en 1998 y bateó .199 / .263 / .245. Los D-back lo cambiaron a él y al derecho Willie Blair a los Mets ese verano por RHP Nelson Figueroa y el jardinero Bernard Gilkey. 8.) Miguel Cairo, INF, Devil Rays: Veintitrés cuando los Rays lo sacaron de los Cachorros, El Cairo terminó durando 17 temporadas con varios clubes diferentes, aunque nunca fue una gran amenaza ofensiva. Su OPS como Devil Ray de 1998-2000 (.675) coincidió con su marca de por vida. 9.) Karim García, OF, Diamondbacks: Esto no podría haber funcionado mejor para Arizona, y tuvo poco que ver con las contribuciones de García en su uniforme. Después de pasar a los Dodgers de 22 años, los Diamondbacks vieron a García girar en una línea de .222 / .260 / .381 en 354 PA en 1998. Los D-backs luego cambiaron a García a los Tigres por el jardinero Luis González. , quien fue sobresaliente en el desierto entre 1999 y 2006 y cuyo éxito en la Serie Mundial contra Mariano Rivera y los Yankees en 2001 siempre contará como uno de los momentos más emblemáticos en la historia del béisbol. 10.) Rich Butler, OF, Devil Rays: Butler se unió a Tampa Bay como un jugador de 24 años que jugó en los siete juegos con los Azulejos en 1997. Apareció en 79 como Devil Ray entre 1998 y 1999, pero nunca volvió a jugar en las mayores después de combinar para golpear. .219 / .274 / .350 en 259 PA durante esas dos temporadas.

The best available players after the 1st round of the NFL Draft

Missouri QB Drew Lock is one of the key storylines to follow on Day 2 of the draft.

Three quarterbacks were taken in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft. Just not quite in the order everyone expected. Sure, Kyler Murray went first overall as expected to the Arizona Cardinals. Then the New York Giants shocked everyone by taking Duke’s Daniel Jones at No. 6. Washington ended Dwayne Haskins’ free fall, taking the Ohio State product at No. 15.

But the quarterback who missed out on the first round was Drew Lock of Missouri. Going into the second day of the draft, where Lock lands is the most intriguing storyline. But he’s not the best player available.

The second day of the draft will also feature plenty of offensive linemen, wide receivers and cornerbacks. Several of them, in fact, were considered first-round players by many.

The top player left is Washington cornerback Byron Murphy. Don’t expect him to last long in the second round.

Here are the best players available at the start of the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft:

17. Byron Murphy, CB, Washington

19. Cody Ford, OT, Oklahoma

22. Jawaan Taylor, OT, Florida

24. D.K. Metcalf, WR, Ole Miss

25. Greedy Williams, CB, LSU

27. Dalton Risner, OL, Kansas State

30. Nasir Adderley, S, Delaware

31. Hakeem Butler, WR, Iowa State

35. Irv Smith Jr., TE, Alabama

36. Deebo Samuel, WR, South Carolina

38. Dre’Mont Jones, DT. Ohio State

39. Deionte Thompson, S, Alabama

40. A.J. Brown, WR, Ole Miss

41. Rock Ya-Sin, CB, Temple

42. Chauncey Gardner-Johnson, S/CB, Florida

43. Kelvin Harmon, WR, North Carolina State

44. Erik McCoy, C, Texas A&M

45. Greg Little, OT, Ole Miss

46. Juan Thornhill, S, Virginia

47. Mack Wilson, LB, Alabama

48. Drew Lock, QB, Missouri

49. Jachai Polite, OLB/DE, Florida

50. Jaylon Ferguson, DE, Louisiana Tech

51. Zach Allen, DE, Boston College

52. David Montgomery, RB, Iowa State

53. Parris Campbell, WR, Ohio State
