Colin- Has the 2^nd best ranked player (Pujols) and the most Jewish player (Braun).

Kurt- Definitely has the biggest names to offer, and the least mobile players, heck, most of them are always injured…practically dead. His average player rank comes out to a whopping 782.5.

James- James has the lowest average rank of players, averaging out to a rank of 35.3333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333…and that includes the No. 3 and 4 lowest ranked players in this pool respectively (Gordon and A-Gon). 

Alex- Has the top ranked player in this pool (V-Mart), the hitter with arguably the highest upside (Puig) and the pitcher with the shittiest contract (Hamels).

Ben- Has an interesting stash of players he's putting up. Encarnacion I thought was a keeper for sure, and arguable the best power hitter in this group. Scherzer and Zimmerman are great options as well, but then Ben pulled a semi-Adrian and threw Xander Bogaerts and  Leonys Martin in the pot. 

Richie- Lots of keepers on other teams, but his team was stacked last year so he can afford to give away the former "future" of his team (Strasburg), Donaldson, Tanaka and Hanley.

Jarrett- Really putting a lot out there this year, Jarrett is offering up tons of his players like Posey, ___, ___, ___ and ___. Tim has a solid list to choose from there...

Adrian- Just from skimming over practically Adrian's entire roster, I can see why he missed the playoffs...again. I guess Castro is a solid option being a SS and all, but other than that, no one really seems worthwhile, that is except Plouffe, who has the punniest name in baseball. i.e. Plouffe is in the pudding, 100 plouffe vodka, plouffe decay, show me the plouffe, plouffe fairy, innocent until plouffen guilty, etc.

Overall, I think with Price and Wainwright already, Tim will go more hitter heavy, but you never know, looking at his potential floaters, Blackmon in the last round looks like the best option.

Here is my prediction as to who Tim will keep assuming he'll flex Blackmon...keep in mind, this isn't who I think are the best players, but my guess as to how he's choosing. Obviously the top two are who I believe he'll take.

5. A-Gon




4. Encarnacion




3. Strasburg




2. Puig




1. Car-Go
