Need some quick thoughts..

Mixed league, 12-team 5x5 with OBP replacing BA. Last pick for about 28 picks due to pick trades by the prior owner. I need OF, 3B, and 2B. Options:

Lorenzo Cain
Marcell Osuna
Andrew Benintendi
Justin Turner
Adam Duvall
Logan Forsythe
Eduardo Nunez
Odubel Herrera
Kole Calhoun

In a 12 teamed, I'm prone to gamble on upside. It may not be the smartest play, but I'd probably take Benintendi.

[Hornsby]

Is it a keeper league? Needs? If a keeper, Benintendi, if speed is needed, Nunez. If power, probably Turner. Those are the 3 that I'd choose from...

Same thoughts.

Agree with Hornsby.

I'll go with Masher. Decent stats are easier to get in a shallow league. What you win with are breakouts.

I'd go with Odubel Herrera in his age 25 season, for his balance of OBP/HR/SB. His defense will keep him in the lineup, and he should improve on his 87 Runs scored with a rapidly improving Phillies team. For your SB option, there's a lot more playing time certainty with Odubel than you get with Nunez.

My 2nd choice is Justin Turner for the HR and all around production at 3B. Also like his long-term contract and playing-time certainty.

If it's a keeper league, Benintendi is the guy. But if it was a keeper league, I'm sure Benintendi wouldn't be available.

It is a keeper league, where players can be assigned 1,2 or 3 year contracts after they're taken. I have flexibility in power and speed; skipping a speed guy means I'll need to pull the trigger on a Margot or Keon Broxton a little earlier.

Was leaning toward Benintendi or Cain. Took Benintendi, which has the added benefit of totally hosing the guy who picks next, and is a big Red Sox fan.

Teenwolf - interesting points on Herrera. He might just squeeze under the radar, as the league is likely going to have a significant closer run in the next series of picks.

Right call; Herrera a close second.
