I would be happy to get some help on my next pick in the current draft. It's the second year Draft of an 18 teams H2H Dynasty league, so prospects like chamberlain, bruce, votto, etc. aren't available.
I'm looking for the best talent available, position and ETA don't really matter, since I'm restructuring completely.
This is how the draft looks like until now (will keep updated):
1. David Price; 2. Rick Porcello; 3. Matt Wieters; 4. Sam Narron; 5. Mike Moustakas; 6. Josh Vitters; 7. Jason Heyward; 8. Jordan Schafer; 9. Tim Alderson; 10. Matt LaPorta; 11. Jarrod Parker; 12. missed pick ;13. Fowler; 14. Anderson; 15. detwiler ; 16. mills; 17. duensing; 18. missed pick; 19. Jennings(me); 24. (me); 26. (me); 35. (me); 37. (me)
Players eligible are: Prospects from Draft 2007, Undraftees from last year (decent undraftees: fowler, nelson, de lo santos, jennings, g. parra, rowell, r. liz).
Who should I target? I was thinking of Jennings or De Los Santos with my 2nd pick (19), then maybe Parra, Weglarz or Kalish. I'm fine with high risk/high reward type of guys, or with a long way to go to the Majors. Who are interesting sleepers, or undervalued prospect which may be Consensus Top 100 from next year?
Whir obviously

Well, with the players you listed, I would choose hitting over pitchimg.
So, Desmond Jennings would be first. I would also, if he fits and hasn't been chosen, Fernando Perez is a guy that is similar to Jennings but is a year closer to the bigs.
Other guys would be
Beau Mills - 3b,1b CLE Wes Hodges - 3b CLE Jesus Montero - C/1b NYY Austin Jackson - CF NYY Mike Saunders - CF SEA Joe Benson - OF Minnesota Wilson Ramos - C Minnesota Angel Villalona - 1b - SF
Those are the guys off the top of my head that would fit in with who I would choose. I am not as high on Kalish as some, but still expect the hype to pump his value during his minor league progression....Sorry if these guys are not available/fit the criteria you are looking for

Thx Thomas, I took Jennings, my next pick will be up in 6 hours, so help on my next one would be very appreciated.
Guys toward which I'm leaning if they eventually fall to me: Teagarden, Parra, De Los Santos, Kalish, Weglarz, Hodges. Any thoughts on them or other players which you think are better?
Thx
Jackson, Montero, Villalona all went last year already, Mills was chosen 2 picks before me
Hmmmm, let me see. Off the top of my head, I would throw these names out there:
Matt Antonelli - Don't expect too much power in Petco, but would expect 20 doubles and 20 SBs his first year. Carlos Truinfel Chris Davis Hank Conger Gorkys Hernandez Drew Stubbs Mitch Canham Julio Borbon Andrew Brackman Joe Savery
Hope this helps/fits....
