My main concern is that you're already a little light on power. If that's not true, then I'd go ahead. If you need to take Allen to get him, and then you can draft a slugger in round 26 and mix and match for your 5th OF slot, that could work. Not sure who that is. Matt Kemp maybe? I see tons of late-round slugging 1Bs (Bour, R Zimm, Pujols, O'Hearn) but not as many similar OFs.

OF power still on the board that I could draft and then combine with Allen maybe as needed are...

Renfroe
Bruce
D Santana
Choo

Basically after Renfroe there is a glut of 20 HR projected guys on rotowire. Lots of 20 HR guys at CI also.

[Pauly]

Wow we are catching up to you....must be a bunch of clock wasters

Round 17 I watched and waited hoping Bradley Jr would make it back to me and amazingly he did. So at 17.12 pick 251 I was able to get Jackie as my 5th OF. Now I will probably grab a few power guys to make sure I am not too light in power, but I like my speed now.

So some guys I am looking at now...

Chase saves - Seranthony Dominguez and Mychael Givens Steckenrider Strickland , chase red sox Barnes Brasier? Anyone like one of these guys?
Best MR - Bettances

MI Jed Lowrie (yeah dinged knee today) Starlin Castro Nikko Goodrum

CI Josh Bell Jay Bruce Kyle Seager Yonder Alsono Peter Alonso

Catcher #2 Gomes Meija Wellington Castillo

SP - Lester Godley Reynaldo Lopez Corbin Burnes Julio Urias

Anyone have any strong opinons? Here is what I have so far...

C D Jansen
1b Carp
2b Altuve
SS P DeJong
3rb Vlad
OF Robles
OF Peralta
OF A Meadows
OF R Braun
OF Jackie Bradley Jr
UT K Davis

SP DeGrom
SP Price
SP L Castillo
SP Darvish
SP J Musgrove
CL F Vazquez

I'd go with any of the power hitters you listed; I think you are a bit short there. Cheap speed is easier to find late. Your pitching looks nice, but wow, Meadows seemed like an over-draft to me. Do we even know if he will play over Garcia? Or is the assumption that Kiermaier will be hurt as always this year?

I took Meadows at 13.11 pick 191 and his adp this month is 176. Not a lot of 15-15 type guys out there.

Just seems awful risky in a redraft league to me. The upside is there, but so is the downside.

Gotta do 50 rounds of this thing need to take some guys that can hit big and back them up with boring guys.

Grabbed Givens in round 18. I debated Castillo but decided I can make my catcher 2 work later. Also considered Lowrie, but figured the knee injury news might drop him down even more. We will see what happens.

So as we get close to chasing reserves does anyone have any rookie guys they feel will get the call? I've combined some lists and have added these guys into my deep que...

Soroka
Touki
Chrisin Stewart
Tatis
Luis Urias
Sheffield
Brandon Lowe
Austin Hays
Bo Bichette
Nathan Lowe
Austin Riley
Brendan Rodgers

Anyone else worth keeping an eye on?

[joncarlos]

I love Soroka.

Maybe Chris Paddack? Yusniel Diaz?

[frae]

I love Soroka.

Maybe Chris Paddack? Yusniel Diaz?

I had both Lowe's on the list just didn't type out Nathaniel and got lazy with Nate and yes I had to double check that they were different people and not a typo. I'll add Paddack and Diaz too.

[frae]

Getting to the point where everyone is blah, or a rookie, or has some sort of problem. Considering getting one more could be closer here in round 19 with Trevor May. Hopefully between him and Givens I have something. C2 is trash I'll jump in at some point but not in a rush now that Castillo went to someone with no catchers.

Yonder Alonso and if Jed Lowrie is ok stand out as the next two position guys I am looking at. Julio Urias and Soroka are some young upside guys I am looking at. I can't believe we have 31 more picks to make.

[joncarlos]

Lowrie has some knee thing - check into it. I know a lot of people like May. He was really good last year. He could be huge if they give him the job.

[harmon]

Lorenzen?

May be getting some late innings.

[frae]

Yeah I knew about Lowrie's knee so I have kept passing.

So I did grab May in round 19 and then used the turn to take Yonder Alonso in rd 20 . Alonso is not exciting but he should be solid for 20 HR's and almost 70 RBI's.

So though 20 rounds...
