Jose Abreu, Felix Hernandez, and Hanley Ramirez are locks.

I'd say Todd Frazier and Mesoraco. Both young power hitters.

For the last spot, Lee scares me because of his elbow. I might actually go with Arcia, but he may be an easier re-draft. Bogaerts looks like he could break out, and plays a premium position, but we've been waiting for him to break out for the past couple of years.

I think in the end, I'd roll the dice on Xander.

Abreu, Ramírez, Hernández, Frazier, Hosmer, Bogaerts.

Lee has elbow problems and you can always redraft pitching. Catcher is pretty deep but I wouldn't argue if you wanted to keep Mesoraco over Hosmer.

God darn it, Keepers went in late Saturday so I ended up taken Howie Kendrick, infields really tight and only have a first round pick and then nothing until 5 or 7 round so gotta lock down infield best as possible .. I felt at the time.. think now I kept Boegarts two seasons now waiting for the breakout damn it shoulda held on for one more ride.. My luck he'll go on to have a 30-30 year

[watchingthegame]

Yeah, you could say that. But at the same time, some guys never break out. Regardless it'll be tough to compete with that lack of picks. All the best to ya!

Nothing suggests a huge breakout for Bogaerts yet, but I would've kept him regardless. I'd be very surprised if Bogaerts ever has a 30/30 season. He's got more 20/20 upside.
