James McDonald (8 teams) - Far from a sure thing, but a pitcher with nice upside at the cost of a reserve pick. If he can have a slight uptick in control, he may be ready to make the next step. For me, a pitcher I wanted to speculate on as often as possible.
Cory Hart (7) - Hart likely would have gone a couple rounds earlier than his ADP if not for his pre-season injury. I believe him to be a legitimate 30 HR bat who'll contribute some also to both average and steals. He was going around the same time as Ethier, Werth, and Heyward, slightly shakier options in my opinion at the same position. His injury may have been a blessing in disguise.
Jason Bay (7) - Yes, he's been in serious decline the last two seasons. However, it is not unreasonable to expect a minimum production of around 15 HR and 10 SB which would be enough to warrant his price of a mid to late teens draft pick. Therefore, I believe he's already priced at his floor. If he bounces back, even marginally, there can be some nice profit here. Plus he plays for an undefeated powerhouse.
Erik Bedard (7) - I have no illusions that he lasts the season. However, he's healthy today and whenever he's healthy, his talented if fragile arm always produces. I'll take the quality numbers he gives me for as long as he does and replace him when his arm inevitably craps out. I'll still have the numbers he does contribute 'til then in the bank at an extremely cheap cost.
Yoenis Cespedes (6) - Hopefully the power continues, he flashes some speed, and maybe strikes out just a wee bit less. He was going in the early to mid-teens and most of the potentially huge OF power bats were gone by then. Big risk/reward pick. It's been mostly reward in the early going.
Neftali Feliz (6) - I'm much higher on Feliz than most as I kept pushing him lower and lower on where I would draft him as the draft season wore on and yet he was more often than not still there waiting for me. I'm counting on Ryan & company to produce the same reliever to starter magic for Feliz that they were able to do with lesser talents in CJ Wilson & Alexi Ogando with enormous results.
Chris Davis (6) - We've been waiting since 2008 for him to reproduce that half a season with Texas or to flash more of those minor league numbers on the major league level. Getting out of Texas and the expectations created for him there may be the fresh start he needs. One thing for sure, he'll likely get a longer leash in Baltimore than he's ever gotten with the Rangers.
Cliff Lee (5) - A nice safe ace often available at the back end of Round 2 or the early part of Round 3, just where I would be first willing to invest in my first pitcher. I believe him to be an even "safer" choice than Kershaw or Verlander.
Curtis Granderson (5) - I'm of the belief that he doesn't regress as far as some believe he will. Even if he does, you can regress quite a bit from 41/136/119/25 and still be worth the early to mid second rounder I often paid for him.
Rafael Furcal (5) - Many think he's toast. However, at the cost of a reserve pick or some FAAB, you have the leadoff hitter for a strong offense who once had near elite skills. Yes, he will get hurt, but when on the field he has almost always produced.
Paul Goldschmidt (5) - Mike Stanton 10 rounds later. Need I say more?
Those are the players who will help determine my fate on numerous teams this season. Who are you most invested in?
He made an adjustment last year and he had success in the second half. I then heard he was throwing a slider he had developed and it became one of his best pitches to get left handers out with. With that info and his price point I decided to go all-in that his success would continue. Funny thing is Gekko mentioned the same thing to me at the NY drafts....... 
Duffy (10) was pretty simple. I had been following Duffy last year at Omaha and when he got called up I got him everywhere with the thought he would be a difference maker for my pitching staffs. Oh he was a difference maker alright........ 
His great control that he had showed in the minors was gone. He was overthrowing his fastball and he couldn't get Righthanders out. Game over! This spring I heard that he was working on a cutter. The same pitch that allowed Lester to become an elite pitcher and the same pitch that allowed Masterson last year have a breakout year. Before that Masterson's issue was he didn't have an answer for lefthanders. So I decided Duffy is still the same lefty with nasty stuff and has a spot in the rotation. All aboard!!! 
Thronton was just a speculation pick. Should have known better and in hind sight Francisco or Guerra should have been the pick. They were locked in as closer. Oh well $400 later I now own Santiago on all my teams........... 
I coulda swooped in and got him again (rd 3 pk 8) but instead I went w/ his teammate Timmy.
