I voted for Vince Denney, although I personally wouldn't pick any of these guys as high as it seems you're picking unless I was intending to trade the guy I picked.

I try to avoid prospects in the draft with a great but undeveloped changeup as much as possible. Been burned by too many of those guys not developing that changeup already. However, Denney has a solid repertoire otherwise and his solid fastball despite low velocity compared to the other three guys suggests that pitch can become very effective with a velocity uptick or two. Meanwhile, 65 potential for Lopez's fastball despite nearly max velocity would mean his base rating for his fastball isn't great if your scout is accurate.

Again, I'd personally pick none of these guys unless the top bat on the board is much worse, or try to flip whichever of these guys I did pick unless one of the changeup guys showed rapid improvement, but if I had to pick one of these guys it'd be Denney.

Great minds! I did pick Denney.

I had way too many young bats at that point that I knew were going to hold down those positions for the years to come.

At some point I needed my pitching to catch up to the god status of the hitters.

Great question! I look forward to following their progressions.

I’m not enamored with any of the four, but if I had to draft one it would be Lopez. Only lefty of the 4 & has the best arm.

Denney seems like he’ll be a gopherball machine.

So Cline, whom nobody voted for, is the first to reach the Majors, however unimpressive his first part-season's performance.

I voted for Eckhard. That's why I don't make my living as a scout.

The land of opportunity!

The last two standing were both taken in the expansion draft.

Cline was having a solid season then tore his ****. Thems the breaks.
