At this point, the pickings are very slim.
I managed to draft neither Young or Felix. Everyone else was a draft choice.
I got lucky. The owner of young has Jim Thome, thanks to a previous owner, and really wanted a young 1B, much like a Casey Kotchman. So, I managed to work out a few strings and land Delmon without giving up a king's ransom.
And I got Felix in a deal that involved me getting Bonderman as well while giving up Hudson and Adam Miller.
I personally like Duke, Weaver, Felix, Delmon, and Morales best right now. But I am really banking on Ian Stewart being in the show after next season. I drafted Edgardo Alfonzo as a stop gap for one year only. But, I have Placido Polanco, who will hopefully get 3B eligibility next year.
