2020 WGOM Draft: Round 3

Remember, no need to draft a player at his primary position as long as he played the position you want him at for a reasonable time or could easily transition. Also, if you change your mind later you can move a guy to a different spot.

The board.

Here are our loosey goosey rules for this draft:

1. When you draft a player, please write something about why you drafted them.  Doesn't have to be long; this will just be more fun if people talk about their process or their affection for the players.

2. On the flip side, please don't heavily critique others' picks.  I mean if SoCal drafts Cody Bellinger with his first pick we can give him the side-eye, but this should be fun for everybody.

3. If you want your team to have a DH that's fine.  If you don't, that's fine too.

4. Draft players at positions they played at least for a reasonable amount of time or could easily transition to. For example, totally fine to draft Cesar Tovar in any outfield position or infield position, just not at catcher (which he did for one inning).  If you want to put Rickey Henderson at first base you could, but no putting Jim Thome in left field. Starting pitchers can relieve, so you don't have to draft a relief pitcher if you don't want to.

5. Draft a team that could reasonably play through a season.  In other words, at least two catchers, a few bench players, and at least five starters.  If it's getting late in the draft and you appear to be short in an area, I'll remind you.
