25th pick - Youkilis, Sizemore, or Bay???

Postby Rounders » Sun Mar 14, 2010 3:57 pm

12 team H2H 6x6 (we count OBP). We can keep players 3 rounds above where they were drafted the previous season (free agents go to 18th round). I'm looking at who I should target with my 3rd pick (25th overall). I have 1st pick, so I'll get Pujols, and I'm keeping Mauer in 2nd round (24th pick). I'd take Adrian Gonzalez if he was there, but I don't expect him to be. I am leaning toward Youkilis because I think power is more valuable (I like power over speed, and OBP is our extra category).

Players around the 3rd round being kept - Zimmerman, Votto, VMart, Sandoval, Reynolds, Cano, Morneau, Werth, Felix, Greinke

My Keepers
Albert Pujols (not a keeper, but I have 1st pick)
Joe Mauer (2nd round, pick 24)
Justin Upton (11th round, pick 120)
Josh Johnson (13th round, pick 145)
Rickie Weeks (14th round, pick 168)
Edwin Jackson (15th round, pick 169)
Huston Street (16th round, pick 192)
Brandon Webb (17th round, pick 193)
Tommy Hanson (18th round, pick 216)

Youk is the most reliable of the three and puts up great OBP numbers as you noted. He also has position flexibility (not that you're gonna get rid of Albert. but . . .)

Thanks for helping on mine,

I'm not a Sizemore fan but would still take him here.
