Pre-Draft trades:

To Chesapeake Bay: Mike Minor, Jose Leclerc.


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.

Minor Adjustments before first series:

Trade

To Chesapeake Bay:  Logan Forsythe.  
To Ocracoke:  Justin Wilson.

Matt Olson has a 99 home run range was a go for it selection with Alex Wood in first round.  Reach on Wilson, Iannetta, and Herrera were not good picks.  Nice picks with Delgado and Hill late for a SP.  Great pick with Hader and Happ.  Hader was our sleeper pick. Offense looks strong but pitching looks a bit behind compared to others.
