Hornsby up!

1.08 Clayton Kershaw SP, LA Dodgers

The only concern is the back, and that's not much of a concern to me. He had 28 innings in the regular season once he came back, and only allowed 4 earned runs.

1.09 - Bryce Harper, OF, WAS

I have no idea how a guy with so much talent had such a bad year (for him). He's primed for a return to form.

1.10 - Josh Donaldson, 3B, TOR

The obvious chalk and boring pick. But not a lot not to love here, consistent power, contributes at least a little on SB and should help a lot on counting stats.

1.11 Max Scherzer P Was

[chancellor]

1.12. Anthony Rizzo, 1B

1B isn't as studly as it used to be, so want to lock down one of the best.

1.13 Miguel Cabrera 1B tigers

[harmon]

1.14 Trea Turner 2B/OF Washington

Budding superstar, I think he can be that this year.

1.15 Madison Bumgarner P SF

31 or more starts for 6 straight years, K/9 has increased 5 years in a row. At just 27 years old and a consistent resume, expecting similar numbers to the last few years, so this should be a relatively low risk pick.

JC up for two!
Ken in the hole!

1.16 Carlos Correa, SS, HOU
2.01 Charlie Blackmon, OF, COL

the first one is so easy. The 2nd one is a total shrug emoji

2.02 Jonathon Villar SS/3B MLW

Feels like a reach, but the SB talent has always been there and combined with the surprising power numbers made him a top 5 fantasy asset last year. Even if the counting stats regress 20% he would still be a first round pick value. I'll buy in.

2.03 Chris Sale SP Boston

Should get lots of W's this year.
