CFs and SS are the most athletic baseball players. A lot of those guys could probably be successful in a number of sports. But pitchers are hyper specialists and they make up half the roster.
Yes worked out well. However I also took Sal Perez in the 8th and now he is riding my bench. And I dropped Arranda after auto draft took him in the second last round. Whoops.
Certain positions are definitely specialists like the guys in the trenches, the QB or the kickers but the way I am thinking about it is a lot more football players are multi sport athletes in high school and college than baseball players are.
Sure I don't think OLineman are excelling in too many other sports. But way more football players are multi sport athletes in college than baseball players.
I drafted him in the 16th round. Drafted Cole in the 15th round betting on a smooth return from surgery. Looks like a good bet so far.
Overall baseball players are more specialists that overall athletes. If you took players from the most athletic positions in football I think they would perform better overall.
It’s a good idea.
