I ended up trading for more picks....not sure if I should have, but I liked a lot of guys in this draft. Here is who I ended up with:
Gavin Cross (13), Matt Mervis (14), Kevin Parada (15), Junior Caminero (17), Brock Porter (18), Dalton Rushing (22), Cade Horton (24), Kumar Rocker (25), Addison Barger (28), Brandon Barriera (31).
I really wanted Lesko, but he went #11. I don't love that I drafted two "catchers," but at their places, I felt I had to take them as some in my league don't discount catching prospects....I got a big return trading Francisco Alvarez this offseason. I am also betting that at least one of them ends up off catcher or as a catcher/dh hybrid like Alvarez. I don't like Rocker much, but at 25, I felt he was worth the gamble given my league values pitching more than most (it is a points league). I was most happy with snagging Caminero, Porter, and Horton where I did. Not in love with Cross, but I know a guy in my league that would have taken him top 5, so I am hoping I can move Cross down the road to him for a good return.
