Would be interesting to see what rounds you drafted the players in. Looking at it initially, I'd give it a 6. I like your top pitchers, but I'm not sold on how you're going to compete in HRs & RBIs.

I agree with a 6, but with more risk to slide to a 5 than rise to a 7 at this point.

I get the feeling you might have gone for pitching in some of your earlier rounds (was Weaver a 3rd rounder?)

I'm a little worried about Dee Gordon getting a full season of ABs and while I like Machado as a risk/reward guy, I'm not sure I'd want him committed as a day-in, day-out guy just yet. Also, Broxton's value is more likely to be tied to Chapman's success as a starter than his own performance.

I agree that you have a nice pitching staff and your OF is strong as well. I'd think there are still some nice middle infielders in the player pool that you might be able to grab one from. If you can pick up one or two pieces for your infield I think this would be a stronger 6 sliding into 7 than slipping into a 5, with room to grow and upside in Machado.
