No lineups yet...Taillon vs. Sale



I didn't realize that Sale was drafted the same year as Taillon.  Don't get me wrong, I still think Taillon can be a very good, if not even great, pitcher in MLB.  But to think, drafted after Taillon were Manny Machado, Sale, Yasmani Grandal, and Noah Syndergaard.



I know you can do this exercise with every draft, every year (though looking at the 2011 draft, I might still take Cole #1 overall...maybe Francisco Lindor...but I digress).  Anyway, I know you can do this every year, and that's the crapshoot that is the MLB draft.



Again, I do think Taillon is going to be special.  Time to get win #1 on the year!

Overturned or not, that's a great play by Freese.
