Who Goes In The First Round In 2013?

Post by Greg Ambrosius » Fri Oct 05, 2012 2:53 pm

It's never too early to start talking about the next draft and even though I'm sure the email league will be starting soon, it's time to talk about the top players for 2013. We've already talked about Mike Trout possibly being the first overall pick in 2013, but who else goes with him in the first round? I'll start here and let you add or delete from my list. It's time to talk about the next DRAFT!! :D

Who needs to be added or booted from this first round:

Miguel Cabrera
Ryan Braun
Mike Trout
Matt Kemp
Joey Votto
Josh Hamilton
Albert Pujols
Robinson Cano
Andrew McCutchen
Prince Fielder
Adrian Beltre
Carlos Gonzalez
Giancarlo Stanton
David Wright
Justin Verlander

On the edge:
Troy Tulowitzki
Adrian Gonzalez
Stephen Strasburg
Buster Posey
Jason Heyward
Evan Longoria
Hanley Ramirez
Adam Jones
Matt Holliday
Jose Bautista
David Price

What do you got? ;)

I would take out Fielder and Tulo from the 1st RD. Early to mid 2nd round guys for me next year.

Tulo and Stanton far too risky for me to even consider in rd 1.

Adrian get in, then either Wright or Bautista.

I put Tulo in for Shawn!! I knew we'd be bidding on him in LABR NL next year no matter what anyone else thinks! :mrgreen:

I had Wright in originally, I'll update. Agree.

Kemp is having surgery today on his shoulder, so he's a question mark.

At this point, Tulo is too much of a health risk for the first round.

I doubt Beltre, Stanton or Fielder are top 15 come next March.

The first 5 rounds of the Premature league are available in Doughboys' section. One pitcher went in the first but it wasn't Verlander. ;)

Thanks for the heads up. I'll post the start of his thread here:

True to its name, we're even pre-maturing pre-mature.Believe me, we try to wait till the end of the season to start our draft, but the wait becomes too hard for these hard core players.
A day after getting draft positions, we are already off and running.

wow, what a jump for RA Dickey. I drafted him this year from 20-25th RD. Now he's going at the end of the 2nd RD!
