i happily grab bard in this spot. another high upside pick, i've seen good projections for his 2012, and some great. when sale and feliz went two rds earlier, i was concerned bard wouldn't make it all the way back to me. i will likely be the guy drafting crow, but much later. perhaps i am too influenced by my first season in roto, 1985, when i grabbed a young lefty reliever making the move to the rotation that spring. jimmy key had a pretty good season. and career. i like the odds of a good young pitcher who starts his mlb career in the pen, has great success, then moves to the rotation.

with my rd 16 pick, i draft brandon belt to fill my corner. still chasing hrs, i like him for a big bounce off his rookie season. i expect his plate discipline to improve. his minor league career, and all his scouting reports attest to a great eye at the plate. if he works out, i think i am pushing 250 hrs.
i am pleased with the team so far;

3 lawrie

a young team with tons of upside. i must now draft two more quality starters, another closer, and some speed. and two catchers. i should also draft for some batting average, as i don't have a solid .300 hitter. i like that i still have a mid and an outfield spot. they are two easy positions to find sb's.
if kendrys morales falls to me in rd 17, i'll have to draft him. otherwise, i think i'll take a closer. i'm also tracking worley, oswalt, and wandy r.
