Pick 16
Who They Took: James Sosnowski SP
Who They Would Take Now: Alan Edwards 1B (2-43 Toronto Blue Jays)
Alan Edwards is a player they got much later, but he's a player who fits nicely into their lineup. With the high end pitchers off the board now, making sure they get this slugger is a real solid play here. Edwards fits nicely into the Toronto lineup in real life and in this scenario.
Pick 17
Who They Took: Justin Casali 1B
Who They Would Take Now: Keith Copestake 1B (1-12 Chicago Cubs)
Casali has developed ok, but probably is not a feared hitter. Copestake is still developing at this time and is looking like a strong player in the minors. A few more years and he might be the elite middle of the order hitter Oakland was hoping to land when they drafted Casali.
Pick 18
Who They Took: Dan Zabel SP
Who They Would Take Now: Agustin Lopez 1B (3-63 Washington Nationals)
Losing out on Hunssinger in this re-draft, adding a hitter like Lopez into the middle of their lineup would be potent. While he doesn't have quite the power of some others, his adequate power and on base skills in front of the Tweedy masher would be elite. After having bought all the strong starting pitchers the free agent market had to offer, continuing to bolster the lineup makes perfect sense.
Pick 19
Who They Took: Eric Hammons SP
Who They Would Take Now: Jorge Valdespino SP (1-30 San Diego Padres)
They had to grab Hammons earlier to make sure they locked him up, but trading out Villavrrel for Valdespino would look really nice in their rotation. Valdespino developed nicely and would fit well in Minnesota with a good Ostos at shorstop. Getting Bracy off that field would really help the ground ball pitchers take off.
Pick 20
Who They Took: Timmy Huebner SP
Who They Would Take Now: Alan Martin OF (1-11 Chicago Cubs)
Martin is a good player and shouldn't have fallen this far. Florida is happy to have him at this spot, as he's developed nicely into a player who can do a lot of nice things. Huebner was a wild miss, so any change would be good here.
Pick 21
Who They Took: Milton Wayne RP
Who They Would Take Now: Shawn Parker 1B (2-38 Chicago Cubs)
Could you imagine having Parker slugging left handed along side the right handed Alan Edwards. Set the middle of your order and forget about it. Toronto would jump at this pairing in their lineup, especially with the starters hokey is able to surround them with.
Pick 22
Who They Took: Eric Brewer SP
Who They Would Take Now: Manuel Rivera SP (3-61 Washington Nationals)
Missing out on Brearton in this draft hurts a bit, but nabbing Rivera is an easy compensation. He's a stellar looking top of the rotation pitcher that fits what Maine loves to do. He probably should go above Valdespino who went a bit earlier.
Pick 23
Who They Took: Ray Duarte OF
Who They Would Take Now: Eric Griffin 2B (1-29 Washington Nationals)
Ray Duarte did not work out, even though his power was interesting. Eric Griffin however did work out and became a real nice middle infielder with speed. He makes for an excellent leadoff man and can play solid defense. While in the middle infield it makes for an excellent selection.
Pick 24
Who They Took: Carl Morris 1B
Who They Would Take Now: Trey Hoy 3B (2-42 Chicago Cubs)
Not taking Josh Jones much earlier and now replacing him with Trey Hoy. While he might not be quite the defensive player Jones will be, Hoy offer so much more on the offensive end. Florida didn't quite get the value they would have liked this draft, but going back there are a lot of good choices available.
Pick 25
Who They Took: Mario Cadahia OF
Who They Would Take Now: Mario Cadahia OF (1-25 Kansas City Royals)
I think KC is happy with this choice in this place. A good outfielder defensively and offensively. With nice OBP ability and speed. Cadahia falling to this spot, just like in the original draft seems like a no brainer to go back and take him yet again.
Pick 26
Who They Took: Francisco Rentezia OF
Who They Would Take Now: Mario Vargas 2B (4-94 Los Angeles Dodgers)
Vargas is a real nice pick at this point. Decent speed, decent pop. Does nothing amazingly, but does a lot well. This pick fits with Maine's original draft in getting a lot of value at the pick spots they make. He's not quite as good a player as his vitals may suggest, but he's still a good value at pick 26.
Pick 27
Who They Took: Chris Peters SS
Who They Would Take Now: Chad Davis OF (4-102 Houston Astros)
A well rounded player who fell a lot farther than he should have. Defense, eye, and power the guy can do a lot from the corner outfield position. He's the exact build Washington likes to nab and he makes a ton of sense for them here at this spot.
Pick 28
Who They Took: Leo Ednams SP
Who They Would Take Now: Kurt Mckee SP (2-40 Los Angeles Angels)
A ground ball dynamo who can be successful in a rotation. Definitely a piece of value this late in the draft that is dang near perfect to this point. Florida would be jubilant to change out their previous picks for this new collection of talent. Kurt McKee was a good pick in the original draft a few picks later.
Pick 29
Who They Took: Eric Griffin 2B
Who They Would Take Now: Josh Jones 3B (1-9 Florida Marlins)
He's not an elite hitter, but he's good at defense and can hit well enough. This late in the draft he now makes quite a bit of sense. Washington is good at finding players who can play and Jones can, even if he's not an elite level player.
Pick 30
Who They Took: Jorge Valdespino SP
Who They Would Take Now: Brian Fraven 1B (1-13 Philadelphia Phillies)
When this kind of power falls to the end of the first round you take this shot. While he may not be getting to an elite level, he still has huge power and can be a real producer in the lineup. Losing out on Valdespino is a problem, but getting Fraven this late is a solid selection.
Who They Took: James Sosnowski SP
Who They Would Take Now: Alan Edwards 1B (2-43 Toronto Blue Jays)
Alan Edwards is a player they got much later, but he's a player who fits nicely into their lineup. With the high end pitchers off the board now, making sure they get this slugger is a real solid play here. Edwards fits nicely into the Toronto lineup in real life and in this scenario.
