Pick 1.9: Encinitas Beach Bums - Brandon Phillips
This seems like the perfect place for Phillips to land. Darren needs bodies, but he doesn't need one of the top 3B since he has ARod. Phillips gives Darren a solid 25/25 guy at a key position. Phillips probably shouldn't fall this far, but if he does Darren won't complain.
Projections: .275, 24 HR, 90 RBI, 85 R, 25 SB.
Pick 1.10: Rochester Red Sox - Felix Hernandez
Rich is loaded with bats, but he needs pitching and knows it. He needs a horse to lead his staff, and I think Hernandez is his man. I am not a fan of giving SP 3-year deals, but I could see Rich doing just that.
Projections: 16 W, 2.95 ERA, 220 K, 1.20 WHIP
Pick 1.11: Wisconsin Brewers - Ichiro Suzuki
Having traded away Sizemore and Reyes, Storlie needs an outfielder and he needs speed. He gets both with Ichiro and gives him a 3 year deal. While Ichiro doesn't offer much power, he does plenty of other things to bring value to a fantasy team.
Projections: .320, 10 HR, 60 RBI, 110 R, 30 SB
Pick 1.12: San Antonio Fire Ants: Dan Haren
Sankey has a few needs, and taking a pitcher this early isn't one of them, but it might be hard to pass on a top three of Santana, Johnson and Haren. He'd win 4/6 pitching categories each week.
Projections: 2.90, 15, 220, 1.15
