I drafted Jesus Flores (can't look past his numbers in limited plate appearances last year - prorated over a full year he'd have knocked in over 100!). He's young (24) and could be a solid backstop for years to come.
With all of that said, I'm wondering if I should draft a back-up that could plug in on days off. Guys like AJ Pierz and John Baker are available (Baker hitting 2nd in front of Han-Ram?). OR, do I grab a guy like Max Ramirez in the "vet" draft and throw him to the farm later. I imagine he'll end up at 1B or in the OF, but I could use a 1B prospect anyway...
