i agree with your premise for the most part, but SS is that one position that is scarce. Machado for instance was worth 11.09 on the ESPN player rater compared to the highest rated SS(Bogaerts 7.79)
there is value in that
there is value in that

Definitely there's more value starting Machado at SS. It's not a point I disagree with. It would be ideal to start him there.

Ok so I did a second mock. This time with Machado at 5. I went best available after that. I would definitely have to work on my pitching staff as the year goes along but I like my bats and versatility.

I think you nailed the second half of team two. I'd take the first half of team 1 and 2nd of team 2. I'm not saying Posey doesn't deserve to be a 2nd round pick, but I'd like to think there was a better option there... as well as for Cruz in the 3rd.

Easily the second team.
