Man this waiting a week or so between picks is killing me. Especially since the player I tried to trade up for last round is still on the board.

[Hosak8]

I couldn't be more exited I got Johnson and Hawpe. I rated Hawpe as the best available hitter in the second round and Josh Johnson the next best pitcher after I took Gallardo in the second. I had to get nitpicky to decide between Gallardo and Johnson. So far I like how my draft is going a lot which just means I will finish last.

[sashdh44]

Nuke's Bombers select Mike Aviles, SS/2B, KC Royals.

 

If this guys can keep up the pace with last year and the ability to play 2B and SS, this could be a tremendous steal.

[Clem Fandango]

Kingsport selected Mark Reynolds, via the CBS board.

 

Slainte on the board

I owned both last year. Hawpe is just meh. But Johnson is a guy I was hoping would still be around for my next pick. Now watch Hawpe win Comeback Player of the Year.

Comeback Player of the Year?

 

The guy was hurt and blew chunks the first half last year sure but he still ended up hitting 25 HR's and having 85 RBI's (plus a .879 OPS). I had him in a league last year and really like him. He will be a 30 HR guy and gets on base at a ridiculous rate. His big negative for a long time is that he can't hit left handed pitching. However, he seems to have learned to at least be OK against lefties as he hit .282 against them last year. Another thing I like is that with Holliday gone he is likely going to move into a better RBI slot in the lineup.

 

If he stays healthy he is a .290 BA, .370+ OBP with 30+ HR's and 100 RBI player. To get him in essentially the 9th round is a steal.

 

 

As for Johnson I really like him but there are two others I rate practically at the same spot as him. I'm hoping to get one of those two guys next round.

[Mark_R]

All of you clowns talking about the Rockies means I can't take my sleeper any later since he won't make it to the next round:

 

Thus, I am taking 3B, Ian Stewart- Colorado Rockies.

Making a pick now is difficult because there's so many question marks out there to choose from. After much deliberation, I'm going to make a risky decision and hope for the potential to finally be reached.

 

I'll select 3B Alex Gordon, Royals

For what it is worth I considered taking him over Josh Johnson. In the end I decided not to due to increased likely hood of a bust and no support on the team to help him. If Gordon was on even a decent team he would probably be a .275 20+ HR guy but he has no protection and no one to learn from.
