I really agree with the places that Konerko and Berkman take up on this list. Konerko is a great candidate for a bounce back year, and I think that Berkman will be overvalued in the draft because of his monster first half last season.
Its hard to disagree with your choices for the 2 up 2 down so far this year.
Was targeting both Wieters and Sandoval.
This year Votto is one of my main targets. Konerko is a guy I also feel I can get late and should rebound. I'm a White Sox fan and this guy was hampered by injuries and hopefully hes healthy. He was making contact just not finding gaps/getting hits.
I also like Chris Davis as a 1B or even 3B option.

I'm not a big fan of konerko. If he fell pretty far (14-15) I'd probably take a chance, otherwise i'm not buying what konerko is sellin'...
well he's going around late 13th on average, so he could easily make it to the 14th-15th range, hence the reason he's an up. i think given a healthy season he can easily outproduce where he's going.

His MDP is currently 170.55, which actually puts him in the 15th round in 12-team leagues.
