I picked Kemp earlier than I wanted to, but I didn't think he would make it back to me in the fourth round, and with Carlos Beltran going the pick prior, he was the top rated position player left on my board, though had I known that Carl Crawford was going to make it back to me, I wouldn't have picked him. VMart was the last elite catcher left on the board, and I needed one. However, I was mulling over a falling Corey Hart. I reached on Jay Bruce, but I wanted to walk out of the next two picks with Bruce and Jeter/Tulo, good closer, and howie kendrick. Bruce was the most likely to go earliest. Going into the Wang pick I had a very high K, low ERA low WHIP setup without a ton of Ws. Wang was perfect.
