The Southern California Trojans, a Strat-O-Matic Baseball Dynasty

[DanGarion]

So back in March a guy from work asked me if I was interested in joining a local Strat-O-Matic league. Up until that point I had never played Strat, heck I had never actually seen the cards up close till then either. I was going to be taking over a team that had basically been run into the ground and didn't have any high draft picks for the upcoming 2010 draft. I was basically being thrown to the wolves...

A little background. From what I've gathered so far this specific league Really Ultimate Baseball League (RUBL) http://rublstrat.com has been around for about 30 years and most of the team owners (12 teams 10 owners) have been in the league for much of that time. There is one other guy that joined the league last year (2009) so he's sort of taken me under his wing and taught me the ropes this season.

My background, I've played OOTP for years the Real World Baseball League ( The RWBL (http://rwbl.net) ) has been my home for years even with a couple year hiatus for the league. Other than that I've been in a fantasy baseball keeper league for years. Strat is a different beast altogether but you can loosely use keeper league knowledge to help to build your team, the main thing is to remember you are dealing with how players already performed more so than you are worry about how they will do in the future (although that does come into play since the league is a keeper league with a yearly draft).

So this is where I was before the draft. Remember I really didn't understand that much about the game and what was happening, all I really knew is that I didn't have any picks in the first three rounds of the upcoming draft (I had pick 4.4 and 5.5)

Realizing my team was going to suck in 2010 the guy that got me to join helped me quickly make a trade of Marco Scutaro for 2011 2nd, 2012 3rd, and SS Ryan Theriot. Which filled some gaps I had in my draft for the upcoming seasons.

Here are the first two rounds of the 2010 draft (remember I had no picks till 4.4).

If anyone wants to see the rest of the draft I can provide it, I just didn't want to bore you all. :)

[DanGarion]

Here is what I got in the 2010 draft.

4 4 Randy Wells Orange Trojans 40
5 5 Luke Gregerson Orange Trojans 53
6 5 Kris Medlen Orange Trojans 65
9 5 Ramon Santiago Orange Trojans 101
10 5 Jorge De La Rosa Orange Trojans 113
11 5 Adam Kennedy Orange Trojans 125
12 5 Bob Howry Orange Trojans 137

I picked up these guys in the toss pile (basically the pile everyone throws their guys into when they are cutting down to their 40 man roster).
101 2 Zach Duke Orange Trojans 1202
101 8 Jim Thome Orange Trojans 1208
Brett Cecil
Here are the players I tossed after the draft (and my feelings on what they did in 2010) to get down to my 40 man roster (I'll post my roster in the next post)

Sean Marshall - had a great 2010 and will be great for someones bullpen next season
Chris Ray - another MR that will probably help someone out next season
Brian Schnider - nothing of note
Mike Jacobs - nothing of note
Jason Giambi - nothing of note
Chris Davis - Hits righties well, but I projected that he wasn't going to end up doing much for the Rangers and I guessed right.
Mike Fontenot - nothing of note
Mike Aviles - probably could have helped me, hit well this year, but if I remember correctly he's not good defensively
Eric Byrnes - nothing of note
Jody Gerut - nothing of note
Jose Guillen - nothing of note

[JonInMiddleGA]

Wouldn't almost anything be better in CF than McLouth?

[DanGarion]

Wouldn't almost anything be better in CF than McLouth?

See that's the rub, McLouth in 2009 ain't half bad so for playing him in 2010 it's a decent choice, but in 2010 he's going to suck mightily so next year I'll probably keep him on my 40 man roster but no where near the 25 man.

Here are the trades I've made this season.


Trojans Trade Jim Thome for Gotham 2011 4th and 2011 7th

Trojans Trade Felix Pie to Baskerville for Humberto Quintero
Trojans Trade Ramon Santiago (will update when I remember)
Trojans Trade Brad Hawpe (will update when I remember)
Trojans Trade Brian Wilson for Death Valley's 2012 3rd, Gotham's 2011 8th and Brad Bergensen

I should be playing my last 7 series tomorrow and Tuesday after that I will update the standings and then work on posting my teams performances...

[DanGarion]

The Orange Trojans, went 1-2 against fellow cellar dweller Del Mar Stallions. The Trojans also went 2-4 against the team they traded their 2011 1st Draft to (a team they went 0-14 against before finally winning in the third game this weekend). These results have major implications on who may end up with the 1st overall pick of the draft... As it stands the Trojans are 41-109 and the Stallions are 46-109. 162 games make the season. There is very little change the Trojans will win 5 more games this season with 12 left.

Posted above at how my cards are laying out for next season. Nelson Cruz is going to be a beast. Jeff Baker is funny because his card kills lefties, but he can't do shit against a righty.

[DanGarion]

Here is my pitching staff next season, getting Kershaw AND Haren for basically Buster Posey or Jason Heyward (and Luke Gregerson) was an amazing deal.

[DanGarion]

Only was able to play one series this week went 1-2. I have 9 games left all against the same team (the owner has been a real slacker with showing up to game nights all season).

I'm starting to look towards the draft and what I'm going to have to do to start improving my team. I'm not going to push to improve much for 2011, looking more towards 2012, I'm not planning to throw in the season, but considering the team I have I should get the #1 pick next season. Which means I need to start thinking about who is going to come up in 2011 in the MLB since they will have cards for the 2012 draft.

[DanGarion]

Well the season is over. 43-119 was our overall record with the worst record in the league. I barely edged out the other worst team by 1 game.

Here are some statistics to look over.

Nelson Cruz (25) was top 25 in Home Runs
Nate McLouth (77) was 12th in BB
Ian Stewart (145), Overbay (141), Cruz (138), and McLouth (131) all were in top 20 in Ks
McLouth (17) Stolen Bases were 25th best
McLouth (13), Chris Iannetta (12), and Ryan Theriot (9) like to get hit by pitches

Pitching Highlights
Matt Garza (237), Scott Baker (213), and Jorge dela Rosa (201) were top 25 in innings pitched
Garza (255), De La Rosa (255), Baker (238) were all top 10 in hits allowed
Garza (18), De La Rosa (16), Baker (16), lost a lot...
De La Rosa (13), Garza (12), Luke Hochevar (10), Baker (8) were basically forced to complete games when they sucked (all top 10)
Suprisingly enough Garza (3) was third in Shutouts, that's what happens when complete so many games
DeLaRosa (42), Baker (40), and Garza (37) suffered from whiplash all season being top 10 in HRs allowed
Garza (206) was 12th in Ks
DeLaRosa (107) was 4th in BB, Garza's (92) was good for 13th

[DanGarion]

Ok the finalized draft list has been sent out. Our 2011 draft is on March 11th. Here are the picks I have.

2.1
2.8
4.3
5.2
5.8
5.11
6.12
8.3
9.1
10.1
11.1
12.1

So far it appears as if the guy I want to draft at 2.1 will be available and will be a steal at the spot (Austin Jackson). I will probably attempt to get a 1B, MI, or SP at 2.8 and then hope to be able to get some stuff as I wait for my 4th and 5 round picks. One thing to look forward to is that I will have the first pick in the discard pile, and I'm sure some teams discards will be better than the pieces I currently have on my team.

[ntndeacon]

Let's go trojans!

[DanGarion]

I've traded my 2.8 pick for a #1 in 2012 (will probably be somewhere around 1.8-1.12 in 2012). My team has way of competing in 2011 anyway so an extra #1 in next years draft could be a goldmine.

[DanGarion]

Draft day is Friday. Odds are I will get Austin Jackson with my 2.1 pick. That will be a nice building block. After that I'm not sure what exactly I will pick up but I'm hoping something falls to me at 4.3 that will improve my offense.

[DanGarion]

Well draft day came and the Trojans were unable to get Austin Jackson at 2.1. The team that drafted 1.10 went against his projected choice which set off a trade for the 1.12 spot that ended up getting Austin Jackson. The Trojans ended up with Logan Morrison. Not a bad card or player, but his current defense leaves something to be desired (he's a 5e8).

Here is how the first two rounds of the draft went.

Overall Round Pick Team Player
1 1 1 Gotham Buster Posey
2 1 2 Garyville Jason Heyward
3 1 3 Del Mar Carlos Santana
4 1 4 Del Mar Mike Stanton
5 1 5 Springfield Pedro Alverez
6 1 6 Grosse Pointe Stephen Strausburg
7 1 7 San Gabriel Daniel Hudson

11 1 11 Baskerville Madison Bumgarner
12 1 12 Canyon Gulch Austin Jackson
13 2 1 Orange Logan Morrison

16 2 4 Fryburg Jose Bautista
17 2 5 Springfield Brian Matusz
18 2 6 San Gabriel Even Meek
19 2 7 Gotham Aubrey Huff
20 2 8 Death Valley Daric Barton

22 2 10 Grosse Pointe Jose Tabata
23 2 11 Baskerville Jaime Garcia
24 2 12 Death Valley Colby Lewis

[DanGarion]

Here is the Orange Trojans draftees.

13 2 1 Orange Logan Morrison
39 4 3 Orange Peter Bourjos
50 5 2 Orange Chris Johnson
56 5 8 Orange John Axford
59 5 11 Orange Brian Duensing
72 6 12 Orange Lou Marson
75 7 3 Orange Tyler Clippard
87 8 3 Orange Jason Motte
97 9 1 Orange Wilson Valdez
109 10 1 Orange Trevor Crowe
121 11 1 Orange Eric Hinske
133 12 1 Orange Andrew Cashner

Morrison, Bourjos, Johnson, and Crowe give me a decent core to build with, but it all depends on how they continue to play in real baseball the next couple years. The pitchers were mainly to just cover my relieving staff since the only holdover from last year is Dotel. Cashner ended up getting released so I could get to my 40 man roster. Valdez is an awesome SS defensively, so I will be using him till his at-bats run out.

Here is my complete roster.

Jeff Baker
Peter Bourjos
Marlon Byrd

Christian Guzman

18 Games in the Orange Trojans have traded Nelson Cruz for 2013, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd round picks and Pat Burrell.

[Ramzavail]

now if Matt Joyce could fulfill his promise, you're golden. Upsell Cruz and have a baby Nelson Cruz will less speed to play RF.

[DanGarion]

Yeah, I'm really banking on Joyce to turn the corner, his card is nice versus righties, but it's terrible versus lefties.

[DanGarion]

So through 51 games the Orange Trojans are 12-39 and 21 games back in their division. I'm well on my way to either the #1 or #2 pick (not that I'm bragging, since I really do try and win). Highlights for the season so far...

Matt Joyce has a 1.122 OPS in 32 games and 90 at-bats, 7 HRs, 19 extra base hits, .311 BA, .400 On Base, .722 slugging. All but 3 of these at-bats are against righties.

Jeff Baker continues to feast on lefties batting .306 with a .918 OPS.

Wilson Valdez has been an awesome fielder to have a SS, too bad he's only batting .142 (not to mention the 13 double plays he has hit into)...

I changed my philosophy about 12 games ago and decided to field the best possible fielding team for as long as I can this season. My offense regressed because of it, but I'm enjoying not giving up so many stupid plays just because someone can't reach the ball.

Tyler Clippard has been a great reliever. 2.63 ERA, 1.024 WHIP.

Lowlights.

Kershaw went 0-7 till he finally got his first win, he's pitched ok, but he really got hurt by our terrible defense through the first 40 games. I've already use 47% of his innings for the season and we are only 51 out of 162 games in!

Dotel has pitched atrocious even with trying to keep him only for righties and with no one on, I've been hurt a lot by him (fortunately we are usually out of the game when he's pitching so it doesn't really matter).

Kris Medlen and Brandon Marrow are probably not the best back of the rotation guys to have, both have WHIPs over 1.500 and ERAs over 5 (so does our #3 Garza).

I have three guys that normally start batting under the Mendoza line. (Valdez, Quintero, and Overbay)

33 Homeruns in 514 at-bats doesn't really scare the opponents.

We only produce 3.098 runs per game, while giving up a 5.14 ERA, something has to change there next year.

2012 Outlook.

Looking forward to drafting Hosmer or Hellickson with my top pick, hoping some more prospects will start playing sooner rather than later, the catcher from Toronto is looking nice as well.

As for the players I have, Joyce is playing awesome, along with Morrison (too bad he got hurt), Ianetta looks like a bounce back candidate. On the pitching front the top three of my rotation Garza, Haren, and Kershaw might get some improvement next season.

[DanGarion]

The Trojans have dropped 21 straight and are currently at 12-51.

[MrBug708]

There is a team based out of San Gabriel?!?

There is a team based out of San Gabriel?!?

It's just a name, I don't think he lives there.

[MrBug708]

Ah...ok. I lived there for 12 years of my life :)

Let's just say this year is worse than last...

I'm hoping to make a trade with another team to shore up my SS issue. Going to try and trade a couple of my 3rd round picks for JJ Hardy and hopefully a 2nd. We will see how that works, but it could really help make me a top half team next season.

[DanGarion]

Well the Trojans made a trade this week. Sending two of my 3rd round picks (3.1 and probably 3.6) for J.J. Hardy at the end of the year. Filling the gaping hole at SS. Hardy should be about a 2e7 with nice pop against both lefties and righties. Wish he had a little better onbase but there are no SS in the draft and he can play all season giving me some MUCH needed pop, especially when I compare him to my current options of Wilson Valdez, Nick Punto, and Christian Guzman.

[DanGarion]

Projections are showing that J.J. Hardy is a 2e8 at SS, which would awesome if true, plus he's got 50 TB chances against Lefties and 40 TB chances against Righties so things are looking good at SS.

[DanGarion]

How much do you feel the 1.1 draft pick is worth if I can get any of these players in the draft for it?


Eric Hosmer, 1B, 21, LH, Kansas City Royals
Michael Pineda, SP, 22, RH, Seattle Mariners
Jeremy Hellickson, SP, Tampa Bay Rays
Brett Lawrie, 3B, 21, RH, Toronto Blue Jays
Dustin Ackley, 2B, 23, LH, Seattle Mariners
Mike Moustakas, 3B, 23, LH, Kansas City Royals
Domonic Brown, RF, Philadelphia Phillies
Jemile Weeks, 2B, 24, S, Oakland Athletics
Jason Kipnis, 2B, 24, LH, Cleveland Indians
Aroldis Chapman, SP, Cincinnati Reds
Desmond Jennings, LF, Tampa Bay Rays


And any other player that didn't have 125 ABs before the season started or 50 IPs.

[DanGarion]

Ok so the season is almost over (only 12 more games to go) but I'm already looking to next year. Here are some projections on my teams performance next season, showing RAA for the players in a 12 team league. This is before the draft. I have some definite areas needed for improvement.

I made a website for my team, oh and the team name has officially changed.

SoCal Trojans Baseball (http://inocnetwork.com/socaltrojanbaseball/)

[DanGarion]

Orange -- Trojans Baseball Monday announced the team has changed its official name to the Southern California (SoCal) Trojans of Orange. This change will effective January 1, 2012.
The inclusion of Southern California reflects the original name by the owners in January 1976 and recognizes the Trojans as the Really Ultimate Baseball's Left Division representative in the Southern California territory that Really Ultimate Baseball expects the team to serve.

The Southern California region, which is comprised of the entire Southern Half of California, is the second largest media market in the country. This name change will strengthen the Trojans' long-term economic health by enhancing the marketability through this metropolitan area and beyond.

Trojans Baseball and the "SC" brand will now to be the marketing focus of the organization and Trojans Stadium of Orange remains the home of the 2011 defending Let Division Cellar Dweller team.

End of season roster notes

C Humberto Quintero -
C/1B?/3B? Chris Ianetta + looking forward to him actually having a starting job
C Lou Marson - does hit LH though so depending on draft may keep

1B Lyle Overbay DROP
1B/2B/3B/RF/LF? Jeff Baker + because of LH results and utility

SS JJ Hardy ++ Starting SS
1B/LF/RF Eric Hinske -
3B Chris Johnson -
2B/3B/SS Nick Punto Utility
3B Ian Stewart 40 Man
2B/SS Ryan Theriot - but may have to keep if I can't get a 2B

LF/1B? Logan Morrison ++ penned in at LF all season, although his defense hurts
LF Alfonso Soriano + hits lefties has power, can't field
OF Ryan Spilborghs DROP
RF/LF Matt Joyce ++ starting RF against righties, wish he hit lefties, love his defense
CF Peter Bourjos + Starting CF, just wish he had better OB to lead off
LF Pat Burrell + probably a DROP
CF Marlon Byrd TRADE, with Bourjos in CF I need to find someone to trade him to, hits RH
OF Trevor Crowe Possibly No Card 40 Man
RF/CF Kosuke Fukudome - but looking to DROP due to age
CF Carlos Gomez + to hit LH and occasional platon start there, he's young, I will miss the ability to play him in OF

SP Clayton Kershaw ++ Ace of the staff, the only thing that hurts is that he's a lefty
SP Dan Haren ++ 12 best card in the deck
SP Matt Garza ++ solid #3 for 12 team league
SP Scott Baker + if he can stay healthy in real life he makes me staff amazing
SP Brandon Morrow + really hope he turns the corner this year and becomes the solid #2 I think he can be
SP Randy Wells DROP just not looking good long term
SP Brad Bergesen DROP same here
SP Brett Cecil - might be worth keeping for the innings
SP Luke Hochevar 40 Man still has the chance to break out
SP Kris Medlen No Card 40 man another potential #2, but currently shelved till 2012
SP/MR Brian Duensing DROP worked great against lefties out of the pen for me, won't be as strong so I might not get my SP/MR swing man back
MR Jason Motte + gem of a pick up last year, I got lucky with all my picks in relief from last year, they all are keepers
MR Tyler Clippard ++ dominates both sides of the plate, will be a great guy to throw out there, especially since the innings he has
MR Octavio Dotel - usually just throw him out for one guy, if I keep him that will remain
CL John Axford + will probably share closing duties with Motte, but the 'stache will be back!

The RUBL commissioners office has officially announced that the Trojans' 1st round pick from Jamestown for the upcoming draft is the 7th pick of the draft! This is huge news as the Trojans are looking to acquire a solid 2B bat with this pick and projections are showing that this may be possible. More news to come.

[DanGarion]

Big news out of Southern California today. The Trojans just acquired the 5th overall pick of the 2012 draft. Trading away their 2nd in 2012 and the 3rd they acquired from Death Valley in the trade that sent Nelson Cruz packing early in 2011.

This solidifies the Trojans 2012 draft they have 3 1st round picks, which includes the names of Hosmer, Lawrie, Hellickson, Pineda, Ackley, and Jennnings.

[DanGarion]

I'm currently working on some offers to trade my #7 overall pick down into the 2nd round and get some future picks as well.

[DanGarion]

Well this is what my lineup is looking like it will be this season. It's not pretty but it's not terrible either. This is assuming I get my 3 choices for the first round.

[DanGarion]

I traded picks 3.7 and 3.11 in 2012 for pick 2.3. No more trading for me at this time. My plans are to get Hosmer, Ackley, Moustakas, and Wilson Ramos with my first 4 picks. I will then wait till pick 3.10 to continue drafting.

[DanGarion]

With the 2012 draft only 1 week away the Trojans are still making moves, sending Matt Garza to Grosse Pointe for FRY 2013 1st rounder (probably around 10-12th), GP 2013 6th rounder, Anibal Sanchez.

A little step back to step forward next year. I have 3 1st next season now.

[DanGarion]

Anyone want to chime in on if I should draft Wilson Ramos or Salvador Perez?

[DanGarion]

When we last left off the Mighty Trojans of SoCal were an also-ran in the RUBL, a lot has changed since then. 66 Games into the 2012 season the Southern California Trojans have been showing off how much they have improved from their embarrassingly depressing 2011 season by going 36-30 so far this season. With all-star caliber performances from newcomers Jeff Francoeur and Brandon McCarthy leading the way as the Trojans recently completed the third sweep (9-0 in the first half) of one of their division rivals the Gotham Knights. In game one of the most recent series the Trojan's Nick Punto failed to put down a bunt during a suicide squeeze attempt in the bottom of the eight with Brent Lillibridge on 3rd, but fortunately Lillibridge's stealing ability kicked in as he was able to slide in under the tag of Buster Posey at home to tie the game and lead to a Eric Hosmer sacrifice fly to put the Trojans ahead and give Clayton Kershaw his 6th win of the season. The luck continued as the Trojans were down 2-0 in the 6th inning of game two as Matt Downs came to the plate with bases loaded and hit a grandslam off of David Price. In game three the heroics of the Trojans weren't over, as they went to the 9th inning with a tied 5-5 ball game. Eric Hosmer started off the inning with a single. Jack Hanahan came to the plate (with one out) and promptly hit a doubled to center, Hosmer tried to leg it out to home but was thrown out at the plate. Gotham decided to walk shortstop J.J. Hardy so they could pitch to Endy Chavez with men on 1st and 2nd. Chavez hit a single to win the game in the bottom ninth and complete the 1st half sweep of the Knights.

[DanGarion]

I just realized I never posted my 2012 draft.

1st Round, Eric Hosmer, 1B
1st Round, Dustin Ackley, 2B
1st Round, Mike Moustakas, 3B

In case anyone is interested here are my team stats for 2011 and 2010, it's amazing to see how far my team has come.

[DanGarion]

It's been some time since there has been an update. We are in the final stretch of the 2012 season with my team out of the playoff race at 70-74. Only 6 more series to play till we are done for the year. I'm at a place where I know my team will be much worse next year. Many of my draft picks from this season didn't have better seasons than they did in 2011 which means 2013 will be a long hard year (much like that of 2011). But long term things look up, guys like Hosmer, Morrison, and Ackley are bound to rebound in 2013 which will improve my chances in 2014. Reddick and Moustakas are my shining lights from the 2012 draft since they both played well offensively and defensively. Pitching will be interesting, as already stated in the past left handed pitchers get a bit screwed in Strat because of the right bias of the game, so even though I have the best lefty in baseball with Kershaw it's not always perfect. McCarthy, Morrow, and Sanchez will be good pitchers but the first two have limited innings. Harrison and Holland will probably in the mix throughout the season as well.

My entire relieving staff is on the trade block, I've already sent 4 of them on their way for future growth. Motte, Johnson, and Pestano were traded for Ryan Madson. 2013 4th, 2013 5th, 2014 3rd, and 2014 4th. Dotel was sent packing for Danny Duffy (looking for him to come back in 2013 so he can put in some nice innings for me in 2014). The first trade really got my some value picks in the future, most of those guys were got in much lower rounds (8-11th rounds) so I'm getting value back for what they cost. Plus good relievers are useless for me in 2013 if I have no shot at the playoffs.

Some other trades I made after the 1st half proved we wouldn't make the playoffs.

Traded Mike Carp for a 2013 8th (not really much, but he wasn't going to help in 2013 anyway).
Traded Dan Haren, Peter Bourjos, SC 2014 4th for Ruben Tejada (EOY), Bud Norris, 2014 7th.

Tejada will primarily play SS next year since he's better offensively than J.J. Hardy, but Hardy will be getting a fair share of at-bats as well... Too bad Tejada didn't play any 2B.

As it stands Ackley, Hosmer, Morrison, Moustakas, Ramos, Reddick, Tejada, Kershaw, McCarthy, Morrow, and Sanchez are my key players for the future, everyone else is trade-able in the right situation since not many of them will provide much going forward. 2012 was a step forward but 2013 is a step back, not as bad as 2011, but I'm predicting I'll probably get the #1 next year...

DanGarion-

Love reading this thread, partly because I'm so jealous. I haven't picked up a Strat-o-matic set in a long time and it's because I don't have a group that could run a league. This sounds like a lot of fun and a great group you're with!

Thank you. My plan going forward is to write more about it instead of just posting numbers all the time. But the next post will be stats since the season is about to come to an end.

[DanGarion]

They released the defensive range preview today.

2012 Baseball Range Ratings Preview | the Strat-O-Matic Game Co. (http://www.strat-o-matic.com/community/announcements/2012-baseball-range-ratings-preview)

Happy to see that I have three 1s that will probably be playing out in the field all season next year. JJ Hardy at SS, Mike Moustakas at 3B, and Josh Reddick at RF.

[DanGarion]

SoCal Trojans trade Clayton Kershaw..

Garyville trades DM 2013 1st rounder (1.9), BAS 2014 1st rounder (Most likely 1.3 or higher), Michael Pineda (EOY), Joakim Soria (EOY) to Southern California for Clayton Kershaw (EOY).

Death Valley trades Rick Porcello (EOY) to Southern California for Matt Joyce, SC 2013 6th rounder. We will see how this one turns out eventually.

I have the follow 1st rounders in the upcoming 2013 draft on March 6th.

1.6
1.8
1.9
1.12

Looking forward to getting some good future with them.

[DanGarion]

My plan at the moment is to pick the following players.

In a perfect world I get...

Parker/Darvish/Moore (with my #6)
Simmons with #8
Rosario with #9
Harvey at #12

But that doesn't mean you will get the same answer from me next week. :)

[DanGarion]

Made a couple more trades.

Del Mar trades DM 2015 1st rounder to Southern California for DV 2013 2nd rounder, JAM 2013 5th rounder.

And

Death Valley trades FRY 2014 1st rounder, DV 2015 1st rounder, FRY 2015 1st rounder to Southern California for SC 2013 2nd rounder, SC 2013 3rd rounder, GP 2013 4th rounder, SC 2013 5th rounder, GP 2013 6th rounder and DV 2013 8th.

So now I have 4 1sts in the upcoming draft (just a couple weeks away) and I have 3 1sts each in the following drafts.

[DanGarion]

It is now looking like I will get Machado at #6, so then I will have my choice of 2 of the following pitchers (Parker, Darvish, Moore, Harvey) at 8 and 9 and then Rosario at 12.
