Need help with next pick in keeper 12 team 5x5

[oakscorps]

I need a 1B/3B and also a SB guy

I plan on taking Bourn because theres nothing left in the 10th round and so I plan on taking a chance with him just for SB, but who should I take as my 1B/3B

Kotchman
Jacobs
Laroche
Swisher
Lowell
Mora
Kouzmanoff
Andy Laroche

I was leaning towards either Kotchman or Andy Laroche just because I dont think Lowell and Mora will stay healthy in 2009 but wanted to get everyones opinion

I like Kotchman. Swisher might be a decent option depending on where he ends up. I would stay away from the LaRoches. I am also a big fan of Bourn and I think his OBP should rise with more PA. I would say either Kotchman or Bourn.

Kouzmanoff
Kotchman

I hate Bourn. Guy can't get on base at all.

I think Kotchman is a sleeper this year. I would go with him.

please help

Is this the best their is? Don't reach for a guy just because you think you need to fill a position or help a category. I have to think there are better SP out there or a nice OF hitter. If I have to pick I guess I would go with Kotchman but again I have to believe there is someone better out their.

I agree all of those guys are a reach for the 10th round. Post your picks so we can give you a better option if you like.

Its the 10th and 11th round pick out of 12 rounds

Here is my roster so far

C Mccann
1B Chris Davis
2B Utley
SS Tulo
3B ????
OF SOriano
OF Abreau
OF Ethier
UTIL Justin Upton
UTIL Werth
BENCH Wieters

SP J. Weaver
SP E. Santana
SP J. Johnson
SP S. Baker
RP Valverde
RP BRian WIlson
P Buerhle
Bench Chris Ray

Here is who is left added to the 1B/3B listed above

2B Polanco
2B Ellis
SS Theroit
SS Orlando Cabrera
OF Conor JAckson
OF Nady
OF Matsui
OF Pierre
OF Bourne
OF Crisp
OF Fred Lewis
SP Volstad
SP Wolf
OF Wellemeyer

Since we only have 5 bench spots I feel I need to concentrate on Offense, so with my last 3 picks I was thinking a 1B/3B, 2B/ss and another OF

Any other ideas, if no one likes Bourn are there any other possible 30 SB guys someone likes

Why draft Kotchman? You know exactly what you are getting with the guy, and it has relatively little upside. I would rather take Conor Jackson out of everyone available to play first, and from your initial list, I would choose Jacobs with a gun to my head. What about a guy like Carlos Guillen? I would take some upside guys in the final rounds if I were you.....someone like Volstad, Cameron Maybin, maybe Dexter Fowler....guys who could break out in spring training. If you draft someone like Kotchman, you know there are going to be guys like him available on the waiver wire all year. I think OCab is a good bench guy to have, but it is always hard to draft a guy who isn't currently on a team. Still, he is a good value pick this late. I like Nady on that list as well.

Please return the favor:
