Funny thing is Enscheff I agree with most of the things you say. You're just an a-hole if anyone disagrees with you.
If Wright makes it there, he's our pick. I don't think he will though.
I think we pass on Lewis if he's there, and we could pass on Gore as well.
I'm gonna go with Austin Beck or Shane Baz as the most likely picks.
See, you can't even have a discussion with me without getting childish.
Pointing out you were wrong in your rankings with IA, isn't the same as being a grammar Nazi.
You go to great pains to call out people who think Anderson might have been BPA based on rankings you obviously weren't even really aware of.

This is silly...Can we have one thread that doesn't turn in to this?
I don't think you can't equate Hiura and Anderson however. I think when you have a guy ~10 on most boards, then signability and ability to extend talent further in draft can make Anderson BPA. If I am deciding between 3 guys who are at the top of my boards and that 3rd guy could come in at 2 million cheaper, then I might think he is the BPA..for what I want to accomplish.
Hiura is what you are saying ANderson was.. at consensus 15-20 guy. .. harder to spin that and also harder to justify him being the BPA because the Braves are not in the same setup like last year.
Folks that disagree and present actual facts and data are great to discuss with. I have discussion with the intelligent members on the board all the time when we disagree. NSACPI, thewpk, harry, sometimes matt and smoot when they aren't hopped up on sugar.
But you're right, I don't get along well with stupid people that can't assimilate new knowledge, apply that knowledge logically, and/or think their ignorant opinions are as relevant as well informed opinions based on data.
Then everyone jumps in because I called Anderson a 15-20 instead of a ~10 guy as evidence that I was wrong about him not being BPA. Picking the #10 guy at 3 is about the same as picking the #15 guy at 5 as far as BPA considerations go. Yet here we are, with a group of derps giving each other props because they proved me "wrong".

If the braves draft someone that turns out to be the best player available we find out in this thread that that person was in fact not the best player available and the braves couldn't possibly have thought they were the best player available because journalists and hobbyists sell content purporting to get the draft right and clearly the braves didn't feel differently despite their hypothetically having drafted the best player available.

Come off your ego; its not about proving you 'wrong'.
We disagree, its really fine.
Do you think there's any chance that a guy ranked ~10 might be seen as BPA by a team drafting #3? We can both agree that this is hardly an exact science and opinions can vary quite a bit between scouts.
Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...
Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?
Heyman says Royce Lewis has a high price tag.
