Slow draft, 12 team 5x5 mixed league with OBP is finishing up the 4th round. Took Votto with the 7th then nabbed Longoria on the way back before things started to go a bit wonky on me. It was looking like Adam Jones would fall to me in the 3rd but he and my backup plan of Kinsler both got nabbed right in front of me. Didn't care for my OF options as a pick right at that spot and there was a fairly deep tier of them that I felt would be left to pick what was left from in the 4th. Instead about 5 or 6 OF's got taken right before me at the 3-4 turn leaving me with the choices of Choo, B.J. Upton, and Jennings. Ended up grabbing Jennings for the greater upside since people in this league tend to reach more for youth and upside and let someone like Choo fall to me in the 5th. Was tempted in the 3rd to nab Strasburg as at that pick only Verlander and Kershaw had gone but there are a ton of good pitchers left that I'd be happy to have as my 1st one (Greinke, Gio, Cain, Price, Hamels, Felix, Bumgarner, Lee, Wainright, Scherzer, Zimmerman, etc.) so I don't feel rushed. Do have a feeling now that Price and Strasburg went late in the 3rd that there will be a big run at some time soon which should hopefully help me get Choo. Pitching definitely going slower this year than the last couple of years in this league. No matter whom I get for my first SP it's bound to be an improvement on what Lester and Latos did to my ratios in the first half of last year. Still probably not bright to pass on an OF earlier given we start 5 but it does seem like there are always more guys coming out of nowhere at OF than any other position each year since there are so many more starters per team.
