Fake Teams Dynasty League Draft Results: Round 10
Time to get back to the Fake Teams Dynasty League draft results, and today I discuss Round 10. I have to admit, I got so busy with a few other things here that I forgot to post the results of our dynasty league draft.
Round 10 - $3.50 - 4 Years
Toronto Blue Jays - Brandon Morrow - SP - Toronto Blue Jays
Los Angeles Dodgers - Trevor Cahill - SP - Oakland Athletics
Bronx Bombers - Jhoulys Chacin - SP - Colorado Rockies
Texas Rangers - Shaun Marcum - SP - Milwaukee Brewers
New York Mets - Johnny Cueto - SP - Cincinnati Reds
Boston Red Sox - Cameron Maybin - OF - San Diego Padres
Fake Teams - Jaime Garcia - SP - St. Louis Cardinals
Miami Marlins - Peter Bourjos - OF - Los Angeles Angels
Atlanta Braves - Nick Swisher - OF - New York Yankees
Carl Winslows - Aroldis Chapman - P - Cincinnati Reds
Tampa Bay Rays - John Axford - RP - Milwaukee Brewers
Anaheim Angels - Jarrod Parker - SP - Arizona Diamondbacks
Brooklyn Nets - Jacob Turner - P - Detroit Tigers
Arizona Diamondbacks - Clay Buchholz - SP - Boston Red Sox
Colorado Rockies - Erick Aybar - SS - Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim
Oakland Athletics - Mark Reynolds - 1B/3B - Baltimore Orioles
This round allows you to keep the player for 4 years, but as you can see, there aren't many prospect type players left in the player pool, so many of the owners are left to take the best available or fill a need.
My thoughts on some of the choices after the jump:
I was hoping Cameron Maybin would fall to me, but as has been the case for most of this draft, it did not happen. Maybin was taken one pick before mine, so I decided to pick Cardinals starter Jaime Garcia here. I thought about taking Jarrod Parker, but figured Garcia is still young enough to keep for the next 4 years, and he could improve going forward as well.
This round was dominated by owners looking for starting pitching, as there were 9 starters taken, along with 2 relievers, out of the 16 picks. I really can't say there was one pitcher that stood out over another. Guys like Morrow, Cahill, Chacin, Marcum, Cueto and Garcia are all about the same to me.
I like the A's choice here as Reynolds my kill your BA, he still hits for plenty of power in a period where power has dropped the last several years.
The Carl Winslows took Aroldis Chapman in this round, and while he may not have much value now, he has 4 years to see if he can reach the potential many expected of him two years ago.

Jaime Garcia
Like him a lot for 2012 and beyond. He’s showing an increased ability to miss bats per swSTR% with already strong GB%’s.

Maybin vs. Jennings
Bold 2012 Prediction:
Maybin and Desmond Jennings put up very similar .275/.350/.430 slash lines w/ 15HR and 40SB but you’ll be drafting DJ 5+ rounds earlier for a few more R/RBI and a slight injury risk.

I could see that
Maybin is still very young….actually, I think they are the same age….have to check.

Maybin 6 months younger w/ over 1100 PA's under his belt
He had his post hype sleeper campaign last year, I like him to continue to show improvement. He had very solid minor league BB #‘s. Seeing the K’s cut down in his sophomore MLB campaign was a serious positive indicator. Petco isn’t quite as deadly on righties but it’s unfortunate he doesn’t play in a better home park.

Bourjos
I like him. If he could walk more, the SBs could approach 35-40.

Will be interesting to see what happens with him and Trout
Since they occupy the same position in CF, and Trout looks to be the much better hitter, I wonder what their plan is. As of a week ago, the Angels said that Bourjos is not on the block, so what’s in the future there?
Bourjos
I imagine they will start Trout in AAA so Bourjos will get plenty of PT. When does Wells contract expire?

It's not a lifetime contract? At $30M per?
I could have sworn those were the terms…
Seriously, though, it runs through 2014, at $21M per year for each of the remaining 3 years.
