The 1st 13 rounds in our draft (14 team keeper league) are out of the way and I'm pretty happy with what I've done so far. I'm hoping to get some feedback on my next pick.

There was a run on closers that has left some slim pickens and one at catcher too, or all positions. That's why I ended up with Aardsma and Napoli. I'm hoping that latter gives me a nice boost in power that will make it easier to sleep on a bat for UTIL and focus on pitching. Here are the best players available at each position of need for me:

UTIL: LaRoce, Michael Young, Johnny Damon, Nolam Reimold, Raul Ibanez, Jason Kubel, Ryan Ludwick, Michael Bourne
SP: Aaron Harang, Randy Wolf, Jonathan Sanchez, Joba Chamberlain, Ervin Santana, Ted Lilly, Justin Masterson, Joe Blanton
RP: Chad Qualls, Bobby Jenks, Trevor Hoffman, Mike Gonzlalez, Ryan Franklin

***Please consider team makeup and please review the league setup (bottom of post) carefully, since it skews value of certain types or players a bit. In particular OPS, QS-L, and the fact that we start 5 starters and 3 relievers each week make a big difference.

1 - Hanley Ramirez
2 - Prince Fielder (Acquired by trading my second round pick and 11th for his late 1st round)
3 - Roy Halladay
4 - Kevin Youkilis
5 - Jon Lester
6 - Shin-Soo Choo
7 - Aaron Hill
8 - Bobby Abreu
9 - Ricky Nolasco
10 - Nate McLouth
11 - (Traded for Prince pick)
12 - David Aardsma
13 - Mike Napoli

for UTL, I'd look at Michael Young, while I don't expect him to have the season he had last year, he is still eligible at both 3B & SS and is a pretty good hitter in a great hitters park

for SP, I really like Sanchez, think he can put up some pretty good #'s this year and have targeted him in all my leagues late

for RP; I like Qualls, Gonzalez, Jenks, & Franklin...in that order. Qualls 1st because he looks to have the safest job and should get you a lot of saves.

please help with mine:
