Don't be too sure Bill Bavasi would know what to do with the #1 pick.

Last time he got it, he drafted Darin Erstad.

~Till the Halo burns out...

Since when am I here to HELP you? :-P

I have two jobs on this blog: putting down Bavasi, and being a retarded fanboy about Joe Saunders. HELP was negotiated off the contract for being too vague.

~Till the Halo burns out...

by Zu Long on Jul 3, 2008 6:34 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Bavasi could have done worse than Erstad.

While he wasn’t a tremendous player like all teams would like a #1 pick to be, Erstad was a solid contributor offensively for most of his career. And, if I remember correctly, he also played a pretty good outfield.

Take a look at the years before and after that 1995 draft. The #1 overall picks were Paul Wilson and Kris Benson. That would have been worse.

by schismatix on Jul 3, 2008 6:33 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

True enough.

But I objected to the Erstad decision because we picked a guy who was near major-league ready at a position WE DIDN’T NEED. Our OF was Tim Salmon, Jim Edmonds, and Garret Anderson. All in their early-mid 20s. We were fine in the outfield. Picking up quick to the majors outfielder with high skills but low tools using the number one pick made NO SENSE.

~Till the Halo burns out...

by Zu Long on Jul 3, 2008 6:38 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Also, Kris Benson looked like a great pick until the injury post-2000

He was never really the same after that.

Hey, I drink alcohol (pretty much) daily. One or two beers. Not a problem.

But they’re a business, so I guess they’re just trying to drum up customers.

He sounds like he's a capful of mouthwash from falling off the wagon

And so he has to be completely over-the-top crazy about how bad it is in his own mind.
