A 10 team mixed is about as shallow as it can get, so of course every team looks like an All-Star squad. Thus it's hard to have a feel for how well my team matches up. I've followed the advice of those who've been loading up on hitting, particularly power...then filling in the pitching later. Here's where I am, thus far:
RD1: N.Arenado 3B COL (#6) - Was hoping Betts would fall, but he went 5th (after Trout, Yelich, Acuna & Bellinger)
RD2: P.Alonso 1B NYM (#15) - Wanted Soto to make it back, but he went 11th (after Lindor, Story, Cole & DeGrom)
RD3: Y.Alvarez UT HOU (#26) - Fell asleep and the autodraft took him, as I had not ranked my queue...I wanted S. Marte
RD4: J.Baez SS CHC (#35) - S.Marte went #30...I'm making a bit of a mess of this process. LOL
RD5: O.Albies 2B ATL (#46)
RD6: E.Jimenez OF CWS (#55)
RD7: L.Giolito SP CWS (#66) - Selecting Giolito made me miss out on Gallo, who went one pick later.
RD8: M.Moustakas MI CIN (#75)
RD9: M.Sano CI MIN (#86) - Selecting Sano made me miss out on Paddack, who went one pick later.
RD10: M. Conforto OF NYM (#95)
RD11: B.Woodruff SP MIL (#106)
RD12: D.Lamet SP SDP (#115)
RD13: M.Fried SP ATL (#126) - Selecting Fried made me miss out on Schwarber, who went six picks later.
RD14: Z.Gallen SP AZ (#135) - Wanted Luzardo here, but he went the pick before Schwarber
RD15: B.Reynolds OF PIT (#146)
Based on JCs last post, I think I'll target catchers with my next two picks (155 & 166). However, I do still need to fill two OF slots, as well as the remainder of my pitching staff. Seeing as how things went in the RJ Mock Draft, I'm also tempted to start reaching for a couple of sleepers I really want, but that have much lower ADPs (ideally, I'd grab the two catchers, one more SP, then alternate between sleeper hitters and closers). I'm just not sure how early is too early to do so.
