4, 5 & 6 ~ "We have experience"

The flavour of selections 4, 5 & 6 in the draft were based around experience.

Jobe Watson who succumbed to injury last year has been picked up by the Butterflies, Scott Thompson is a Stingray while Michael Barlow will pull on the purple and GOld of Yovi bay.

Watson once TPC royality is a geat pick up. If the Wada saga goes away and with his reported "falling back inlove" with the game are true, he could be a valuable 2-3 year option for Flemington. Watson still averaged 92 last year having been injured early more than once in games hurting his average.

Thomospns only barrier is his age, but his 102 average was his highest in three years and included a purple patch of three weeks of 138, 132 & 131 and well as a ceiling week of 150. Even if only a one year prospect, expect his numbers to count for the rays.

Barlow the youngest of the 3 looks to have finally turned a corner with his injuries (most memorably that severe broken leg) and mannaged 22 games last season. Having average 111 and 110 in '13 and '14 and missing a few games, his average dropped to 93 in last year despite palying nearly every game. The Pirates will be hoping he can combine form and fitness in the same year to get the best out of this 28 year old. his 103, 106, 142 end to the year brought him into contention.
