For example ESPN has Dee Gordon at 133 and Yahoo has him at 96... that's a difference of nearly 4 rounds. I've seen him go as high as the 8th round in some mocks that I've been doing. I believe that Jeter is more stable across the board and Aybar is consistently in the 15th round or so.
Personally have them at Gordon, Jeter, Aybar and Bonifacio. I see Jeter and Gordon gone by the time you pick in the 15th, most likely Aybar will still be around. Peralta is way down this year (at least on Yahoo) so you'd be able to get him closer to the 20th. (12 team mock drafts) Your league may be different though. You know what you're going to get out of Aybar and I can't justify reaching for Gordon in the 9th or 10th round, just too much uncertainty.
I'd be drafting in the CBS league. Here is how they have them ranked:
119 Jeter, Derek SS NYY 111 Bonifacio, Emilio SS MIA 131 Aybar, Erick SS LAA 142 Ramirez, Alexei SS CHW 143 Gordon, Dee SS LAD 169 Hardy, J.J. SS BAL 170 Peralta, Jhonny SS DET
Granted Gordon might be a reach at 10, but I believe someone is keeping Peralta, so only Hardy is likely to be available at 15; Gordon has the potential to steal Bourn type numbers, but it is still a risk I agree...
They are all so close, that I don't think I would take one of this bunch until at least one or two of them were off the board. I would be perfectly happy with any of the top 3, and would probably grab the latest one of the 3 to fall.
I agree.. problem for me is with my keepers in rounds 11-14, all may be off the board when I return in round 15.. which is why I am considering taking best available at 10... hoping that I am not reaching to far...

I suppose if guys like Werth/Cuddyer/Ethier are available at round 10...id have to pass on SS and wait until 15 or later for value....

Of course it will depend on who you are keeping and who you're getting earlier in the draft, round 10 is where I'm starting to get some of my starting pitching. Guys like Gio, Beckett, Romero (if he's still there), Garza, Beachy, etc... If you do miss on all the guys you're looking for, you may be ok getting a guy like Pastornicky or Cozart who are high upside guys with very little risk. You could always grab a guy like Scutaro as well, now in Colorado, both Escobar's and even a guy like Pennington who is a lock for 15-20 steals. Just depends on what is available in round 10, don't corner yourself to a SS at that spot if there's a guy that can give you way more value.

Starting to think the same thing; Keepers in 11-14 are Kennedy, Bumgarner, Hudson, and Konerko; then Zimmerman (Jordan)in the 16th. If I pick up one pitcher in rounds 1 thru 10, I should have a decent enough 6 starters; pick up 2 relievers and a late round prospect/team 5th starter as my 9th starting pitcher (league starts 9 pitchers).... punt SS till the end like you suggest, may be better off, now that this thread evolves..!

BTW.. thoughts on Zim at 16? Great/Good value???
If one of those guys is available at round 15, I'd grab him. Zim is very good value in the 16th.

5 keepers, debating Trout at 24 instead of Zim at 16
I know Trout could spend a lot of time in the minors this season, but SOOO want to keep him anyway... Right now leaning towards keeping Zim in the 16th...

One of the SS's that we've been talking about... if you're planning on holding Trout for the whole season, then I'd say go for it. Your 24th pick most likely won't contribute much anyway.

I see.. Yes, I would keep one from the Jeter/Aybar/Bonifacio/Gordon group at 15 if they were available.
Would you keep Zimmerman at 16 or Trout at 24 though... very torn!
