Will Smith was a big get behind the dish with Buster getting older.  Pleased with reach on Solano in 4th round.

Not pleased with reach on Jorge Soler and Oscar Mercado.  Nice value in Robles and Carson Kelly.  View Urshela was one of the steals of draft in 5th round.  Team with good mix of young and old and primed for a run.

To Chesapeake Bay:  Brandon Nimmo, 8th Round Draft Pick (107th).
To Long Beach Island: Masahiro Tanaka, David Robertson.
Minor Adjustments before first series:

Chesapeake Bay picked up Jesse Biddle(RP), Ken Giles(RP) and dropped Andrew Chafin(RP), Trevor Cahill(RP).

Blake Trienen was top closer and could provide trade bait if season is as expected.  Pleased with reach on Flaherty in 3rd round.  Not pleased with reach on McFarland, Chafin, and Cahill.  Bad picks with Chafin and Cahill who then dropped.  Nice value in Fields, Pederson, and Plawecki.  View Baez has steal of draft in 14th round.  Very old team with injury problems.  Looking like the beginning of the end with this group.
