Thoughts?

Team from the #9 spot is definitely better. Needed a more complete hitter in round 2 for your pitching-heavy team. From both teams, I like:

Manny Machado - (Pick #10)
Kris Bryant - (Pick # 21) What was this league thinking?
Yoenis Cespedes (Pick 4.7)
Brian Dozier (Pick 7.9)
Ian Desmond (Pick 7.10)
Billy Hamilton (Pick 8.9)
Kole Calhoun (Pick 9.10)
Marco Estrado
Adam Conley
Hector Santiago (this year's Dallas Kuechel)

Nice drafting, thanks for sharing.

I like the upside, Andy. Not liking the closers. But workable. Nice getting Baustista that late in the 2nd round. He has been going earlier.

BK I also think your team from the nine hole is much better,a big bat in the sixth instead of Matz would have made the second team stronger.

My team from the 4 hole.......

C- Cervelli, C.Perez
1st- Votto (3)
2nd- Panik (17)
SS - Tulo (4)
3rd- Turner (16)
OF - Blackmon (2), Braun (5), Choo (13), Reddick (14), Dyson (19)
DH - Poulffe (18)
CI- Pujols (6)
MI- K. Marte (12)
So - Kershaw (1), Stroman (7), Smyly (10), Severino (11), Volquez (20), Hill (24), Tomlin (21),
Rp- Papelbon (8), Street (9)

Reserve- Pagan, Peraza, Joseph, Gutierrez,
- Niese, Skaggs, Urias

I like my O but need to find one more decent starter. Your thoughts

That roster looks familiar, slopshot

From the 13 Spot in the same draft as slopshot...

C: Pierzynski (22)/Casali (24) and Conger (30)
1B: M Cabrera (2)
2B: D Pedroia (16)
3B: D Valencia (17)
SS: X Bogaerts (5)
CI: D Wright (21)
MI: M Semien (14)
OF: G Stanton (1)/J Upton (3)/A Eaton (8)/D DeShields (10)/E Rosario (19)
Utility: P Fielder (7)

Bench: B Holt/Solarte/Rickard

SP: Z Greinke (3)/C Rodon (9)/J Odorizzi (11)/C McHugh (13)/J Ross (15)/C Buchholz (20)
RP: Z Britton (6) /S Casilla (12)/A Miller (18)

Really like your draft from the 9-Spot as well, BK METS. I'd add to "like list" above and say that Kinsler at 129 was nice value too. When did you get Rosario?
