Wooo! I had the first pick overall, the veritable kiss of death. There are ten people in the league, none of whom I know, which means it's likely I'll stick with this squad the entire year. Scoring is head-to-head.
(Overall pick in parenthesis)
- Miguel Cabrera, 3B, Detroit (1)
- Giancarlo Stanton, OF, Miami (20)
- Jose Bautista, OF, Toronto (21)
- Adrian Gonzalez, 1B, Los Angeles-NL (40)
- B.J. Upton, OF, Atlanta (41)
- Kris Medlen, P, Atlanta (60)
- Matt Wieters, C, Baltimore (61)
- Jordan Zimmermann, SP, Washington (80)
- Rafael Soriano, RP, Washington (81)
- Erick Aybar, SS, Los Angeles-AL (100)
- Adam LaRoche, 1B, Washington (101)
- Lance Lynn, SP, St. Louis (120)
- Phil Hughes, SP, New York-AL (121)
- Marco Scutaro, 2B/SS, San Francisco (140)
- Kevin Youkilis, 3B/1B, New York-AL (141)
- Addison Reed, RP, Chicago-AL (160)
- Alejandro De Aza, OF, Chicago-AL (161)
- Grant Balfour, RP, Oakland (180) - Auto Pick got me
- Dexter Fowler, OF, Colorado (181) - Auto Pick got me again
- Everth Cabrera, SS, San Diego (200)
- Edwin Jackson, SP, Chicago-NL (201)
- Salvadore Perez, C, Kansas City (220)
- Dustin Ackley, 2B, Seattle (221)
- Logan Morrison, OF, Miami (240)
- Bruce Rondon, RP, Detroit (241)
Overall, it wasn't a bad draft. I got a little back-to-back teammate crazy at times (picks 5-6, 8-9, 16-17) but I'm content with the squad. I think I got a sleeper with Rondon and Perez and hopefully Morrison can bounce back from this knee injury and produce for the Marlins.
And how could I not pick the Triple Crown winner Miguel Cabrera with the first overall pick? And Stanton is a 40+ homerun guy that people slept on--it's irrelevant that he's in Miami with a weak-ish surrounding cast, dude is a beast. And Bautista in the 3rd round? Come on.
Looks good on paper, but it's a long way to the finish line.
