This cool card I got from Justin's World (check his blog here) reminded me how frustrating guys like Aroldis Chapman can be from a draft perspective.
Guys like Chapman are great players but may not get enough playing time to be worth a high draft pick. It is especially frustrating when the players ahead of these guys on the team's depth chart are fantasy duds or may loose their jobs. In cases like this I don't want to waste a pick on either Francisco Cordero (the Red's current closer) or Chapman (the guy who should be the Red's closer). I mean if Cordero just barely holds onto his job his numbers will hurt my team AND prevent them from using the superior fantasy player.
Another example from the same division would be Tyler Colvin. It seems to me that he did enough last year to earn a starting job, but instead he will likely split time with the likes of Fukodome, Pena, and Soriano. If those three guys are healthy all year, the at bats they take away from Colvin make an otherwise intriguing player so much less appealing in the draft.
Anyway, maybe this is just me venting. Thanks anyway for the card Justin! I like it regardless of whether Chapman ends up on my fantasy team this year!
