I like the look/projections for Sam LeCure, and Kyle McLellan looks to get a bullpen job right out of spring.

I also like Alexi Ogando/Matt Harrison in the same situation. None of them are likely to be big holds guys starting out, but you should get value with them throughout the year.

I’d also look at Marco Estrada, Sam LeCure, Tom Gorzelanny, Ross Detwiler, Kyle Kendrick, and Jesse Litsch if the inflammation passes.

On the other hand, Jennings is available in the late 90′s on ESPN. Similar story for Heyward (top 70 on Yahoo) and early 100′s in ESPN. makes me shake my head how these collective /perts can disagree so much. Thanks goodness for Grey! BTW I’m all over Heyward like a fat kid on a Snickers.

I’m not that high on McCutch grey, gotta put that out there, being a pirate, not the highest BA Avg… i’d rather wait til about the 5-7th rounds and hit up some OF bargains (choo, victorino, etc then adam jones a little later)

*** that mock isn’t very accurate to what i’ve seen, J-Up never falls that far, i drafted 4 and he came back in the 2nd round? then mccutch into the 3rd? but still…. to each his own right….

I see him being drafted like he’s a sure thing… Just went for around $15 today in one of my leagues.

Thanks for the quick reply. I noticed you didn’t write this post and figured that was the case, but figured I’d ask for clarification anyway. I’m sure it happens, but I havent seen the commentators here differ that often on a guy this much.

Then in this post, he got a glowing review and he’s mentioned as a potential top 5 close this year. Haha, which is the real Betancourt?

Personally, I hope he has a fantastic year because I have him in a keeper league. But I have reservations (agism!). He’s as old as I am!!!

http://games.espn.go.com/flb/livedraftresults?position=ALL

Frank Frank’s ADP is 220 on ESPN. Another nice late option.

Betancourt is something….It’s very rare for a pitcher to collect double digit saves for the first time in his career when he’s over 35, but his peripherals are ridiculous. A 51% FB rate in Coors is definitely a reason for pause though.

I’d wager there’s probably one or two stronger teams in your league, but I do like the top-end of your pitching staff.
