I would look at Zimmerman to fill your 3B while Arod is out and then put him at CI when Arod comes back.

Hard to pass up Upton in a keeper.

i'd go for one of the OF's. you can get zimmerman numbers with a later 3B pick. I'd say upton or ludwick

My gut take was Zimmerman, but upon reflection I would go with Upton.

You can't underestimate the statistical boost the Upton brothers will get from playing alongside each other in your OF.

thanks for the help with mine.

Since this is a keeper, you have to look hard at Upton. He'd be my #1 guy to grab. Next would be Zimm, followed by Ludwick.

Good luck!

I'd go with Upton slightly ahead of Ludwick

Ludwick

Then Nolasco/Wainwright a distant 2nd
Upton a close 3rd

I think it's too soon to reach for Upton when you still have Ludwick available. Mybey you'll get lucky and he'll fall back to ya.


Thanks for the help! Good Luck!
