Machado was my 10th. The previous 9 were easy to me. I went pure upside with Manny. I like what I've seen from him so far. He's been very impressive.

This is probably the way I would go. The biggest question would be how many closers get kept on a regular basis. I might be willing to let Machado go and keep Hanrahan over him if the closer pool is pretty sparse for the draft. I like Machado a lot but he is probably a couple years away from being very useful.

Those were the 10 I was thinking. I love Machado. He's useful if he plays some SS next year. Not sure about 3B but I'm willing to wait and see. Sale's injury history concerns me a little but he was great this year. I'm not sold on any of the non-Kimbrel closers I'm carrying.

That's only 9.


Montero should've had a ;-D by him.

I'd be tempted by Shelby Miller over Montero, but it would depend on how long you can keep him. You saw Miller's potential with 1 hit over 6 innings against Cincy in his only start, and with Lohse likely headed off the team, a starter spot is certainly going to be made available for the taking. However, if we are only talking next year, Montero is clearly the choice. Outside of that little bit, the other 9 are all guys I would keep.
