The Phoenix Report

Using Steve's phenomenal draft tool, we are starting to focus in on a few guys who could help us. We would, of course, love to add a Hunter Pence to the lineup, but that isn't going to happen because of our draft position.  We are picking 13th, so some guys are going too early for us to grab:

Ryan Braun, Justin Upton, Hunter Pence, Tim Lincecum, Carlos Pena, Alex Gordon, Daisuke Matsusaka

Those guys are going in the top 10, unless something very strange happens. Daisuke and Pena are candidates to slip, but they have so much current value that it seems unlikely that they'll get to us.

The next group down looks like this:

Jarrod Saltalamacchia, Peter Moylan, Jacob Ellsbury, Yovani Gallardo, Mark Reynolds

These guys have jobs and bright futures. Moylan is 80+ innings of a bullpen hammer. Gallardo is a great young starter. Salty is the best Catcher in the draft.
