Thought I recognized the writing style.  Nice job Sandy - as usual.
I've liked Snell for some time and love his upside.  In a 20-team mega dynasty league my brother and I run on Yahoo, we had an interesting draft going into this past season.  For contextual purposes, the roster size is 25 MLB plus 9 prospects.  You can keep up to 17 MLB guys and up to 9 prospects.  We have an 8-round draft.  My brother and I played for the title last season and I lost, so I had pick #19, he had pick #20.  The mega prospects from the amateur draft the year before and international signings are always the first to go, leaving usually some quality major leaguers on the table.  After the first 17 or so picks, I saw Snell coming my way, and had analyzed my brother's team (you know where this is going).  Draft picks are tradeable in our league, so engineered a trade that added a 3rd rounder for me and I dropped one spot to #20.
 
Yep.  You guessed it...my bro picked Snell, who was my target all along.  I would love to see him get a real shot with the M's.  I don't know what his contract status is - but I would bet Z had Snell on the radar for a long time.  Since he agrees with me, of course I like his position.
