My picks: Cody Bellinger and Hunter Greene
Apparently I’m loading up on NL Comeback Player of the Year candidates in Kris Bryant and Cody Bellinger, but I think they will both be in the conversation for the award. Watching some of Bellinger’s swings in spring training, he looked like the Bellinger of old (even though the numbers haven’t shown it yet), so I decided to roll the dice on him.
Greene was probably a riskier choice than the two Cardinals starters (Mikolas and Montgomery) who went after him in Round 15, but I like what could happen with the strikeouts.
Also, it took until the last pick of Round 15 for our first Oakland player to go in the draft. It could be a long season in the East Bay.
