I like this team a lot. It’s a super risky team, but if a few of those picks pay off (Hamilton/Upton). You’re getting some great, great value.

What do you think of this draft in a 10-team league? Usually I lean on starting pitching more heavily but i thought I’d give this a shot… I drafted with the 7th pick in the first round:

C- Bengie Molina (16)
1B- Ryan Howard (2)
2B- Robinson Cano (5)
3B- Ryan Zimmerman (4)
SS- Jose Reyes (6)
OF- Ryan Braun (1)
OF- Justin Upton (3)
OF- Andre Ethier (10)
Util- Billy Butler (13)
Util- Carlos Gonzalez (17)

SP- Ubaldo Jimenez (7)
SP- Wandy Rodriguez (8)
RP- Jose Valverde (12)
RP- Frank Francisco (19)
P- Clayton Kershaw (9)
P- Jair Jurrjens (11)
P- Kevin Slowey (14)
P- Jorge De La Rosa (15)

BN- Jay Bruce (18), Carlos Quentin (20), Todd Helton (21), Cody Ross (22), Everth Cabrera (23)

So Josh Hamilton is a wash? Go ahead. Pass up drafting Josh Hamilton. When you see “30 Homeruns” next to the name “Hamilton, Josh” and his stats before the 2010 All – Star game, well, maybe you will change your mind.

That is one ugly ‘stash’ by the way. Try a nice wax job.

@TimSTi: I'd go for Phillips, you have two corner men already.

@Grey: Rollins will almost undoubtedly be a keeper. Is Phillips or Roberts or Pedroia a reach for that 39th pick? If not should I just get a big bat like Morneau? We use 2 util, 5of, ci, mi, and the 4 positions.

@Wyatt: No, I wouldn't. @TimSTi: I'd take a middle infielder or an outfielder -- think Rollins or Upton-type -- and a starter, think Lester-type.

@Grey: or @Anyone else: 10 team 5×5 3 keepers. I have 9th pick. My keepers are Pujols Kemp n Youk. I traded my 2nd and 4th picks away. Any advice what to target with my 1st and 3rd picks? Its a snake draft so I’ll have picks 39, 59 , 79, 82, 99 etc assuming the 30 keepers are picks 1-30. Thanks.

Grey: you have the oppurtunity to take Crawford in the 2nd round and Reyes in the 3rd, do you do it? Lets say you took Utley in the 1st, or Braun.

@David: You lose a round ahead for each year and 1st rounders are just 1st rounders. So a 1st rounder and a 2nd rounder would be two first rounders and you lose a third rounder, and so on.
