Our draft is in a few days andI have the 9th and 11th picks
I'm in a 5x5 10 team roto league, with 5 keepers each.
I currently have
2B Kinsler,
1B Mig Cabrera,
CI Votto
OF Kemp and Werth

Not sure whether to fill out shallow positions or take a pitcher or even two.
Realistically, what two should I target?

Players available
Offense: Lind, BJ Upton, Ethier, Manny, Cruz , Markakis, K. Morales, Hill, B. Roberts, Zobrist (qualifies at SS for our league), Bartlett, Youkalis, Figgins, A. Ramirez, Wieters

Pitching available:
Haren, Beckett, J. Johnson, C. Lee, Hanson, Gallardo, J. Vazquez, Hamels, Jimenez
Broxton, Papelbon, M. Rivera

I'm thinking Zobrist (for SS) and Aramis Ramirez for 3B to fill out shallow positions, as I don't expect Youk to be there at my pick? What do you think?
Thanks!

I think you're right. Good luck getting two of those three.

If Haren drops to you, I think you need to take him to be your ace, along with Ramirez (first choice) or Zobrist.

take haren if you like...but those other pitchers aren't ace enough i think to warrent taking two pitchers. papelbon maybe...but realistically haren zobrist wouldn't be bad move, although they're very young still

thanks for the feedback
Realistically, if the 8 people ahead of me pick the likely top players, such as Haren, Youk, or even Zobrist and ARam, who are your next two you'ld pick?
