True Dat

I have no earthly idea what Rick is doing for his 2 1st rounders.

1. JewT drafts Yu Darvish. He already has 2 young ace potential SP, and adding Darvish would push that rotation towards the top. He's already hinted that's who he is taking.

2. Rondo drafts Billy Butler. Rondo has every hitting position filled outside of 1B and one OF slot. He already has a top flight SP in Verlander and another solid SP in Latos. He either has to go SP or 1B, and I think he goes Butler since he's possibly the best player in the draft besides Yu.

3. Port drafts James Shields. Port has his hitting pretty much filled out, and he's only keeping 1 SP. Shields is one of the best SP available.

4. LE drafts Anibal Sanchez. He already has the vast majority of his offense in place, and he's only keeping 2 SP. Cain is very solid but doesn't K a ton and there's always the worry that Kennedy can't replicate. Sanchez can help alleviate some of the K/9 that Cain lacks. I wavered back and forth between a SP and JJ Hardy, but I decide on a SP and TBM love Sanchez.

5. Chat drafts Dustin Ackley. Chat already has 3 SP and 3 OF, so I'm assuming he's going middle IF. Ackely is a good young prospect and one of the better middle IF available.

6. Port drafts Michael Bourn. He still has the full plot of hitters but now has 2 SP. With only 2 OF and little speed outside of Kinsler, I think he picks the 60+ steal Bourn.

7. Rick drafts David Freese. Rick has enough SP and OF already. His entire IF is open other than Cuddyer at 2B, so I think he drafts a corner IF. Outside of Butler, there isn't much there so I think he goes young and gambles on a possible rising star.

8. Rick drafts Corey Hart. Rick was by far the hardest for me since he's got a lot of needs and since he will struggle to compete this year. He could go young for a budding star like Ramos at C, but I think he goes BPA. Hart will miss the first few weeks but still remains a very solid OF.

9. Cwill drafts Jordan Zimmermann. He only has 1 keeper SP, and he seems to like youth. Zimmermann has top line ace potential.

10. Gyno drafts JJ Hardy. He kept 4 SP and 3 OF. He has a nice young core so I think he bolsters his IF with a power hitting vet.

11. Rondo drafts Matt Garza. Now that rondo has a 1B, I think he grabs the 3rd SP to weigh down his staff. Garza had a monster 2nd half with Chicago, and he's still only 28.

12. Louie drafts Jayson Werth. I'd rather have Hart but probably won't pull the trigger with him missing nearly a month. Werth still has nice power/steal combo, and I'm assuming a slight bounce-back.

13. LE drafts Nick Swisher. He already has a 1B in Reynolds and 2 OF in Rasmus and Crawford, but I think he grabs a very nice UTIL bat who can fill in at 1B and OF.

14. Clams drafts Ubaldo Jimenez. He has a hole at 2B, but 2B is fairly deep this year. He only has 1 SP but it's Kershaw. He has plenty enough keeper talent to take a chance on a guy like Jimenez, although he could take a chance on Chacin since he seems to like him.

Nice Louis

i wouldnt take either of those guys in the 1st fwiw

i think there are better players

dont like him in the 1st.

rondo, any idea how i can sub Harper to Rick's team and drop Boguesevic?
