Looking for a 3rd Draft Pick

We'd like another draft pick this year. If there is a team with 2 sure keepers in their draft, we could offer them a player for their pick, which is useless. Hopefully we swap our 1st round for their higher 1st round and their 2nd round.

The Bait - Andruw Jones

300 Pounders:
Has 2 players, either could make majors or go to farm again. So, might have to use only 1 pick.
1) Anthony Reyes StL Pitcher – he’s #6 starter now, will eventually be a starter. Could start season in the farm or the bullpen
2) Dave Krynzel Mil OF – big potential hurt by injury last year. Probably starts season in farm

Falkuhns:
Has 4 players, but 2 will be in majors
1) Prince Fielder – will be in Milwaukee 1B
2) Jeremy Hermida – will be in Florida OF 3
) Michael Bourn Phi OF – He was disappointing last year. Could be kept or returned to farm draft
4) Felix Pie CHC OF – He’s probably ready, but will be back in the farm

ANY 9:
3 players, but questionable keepers

1) Merkin Valdez SF P – will be in farm and kept
2) Brian Dopirak CHC 1B – he has been dropping in value. Could be put back into farm draft
3) Josh Anderson Hou OF – low level value player. Probably returned to draft

BATS:
2 players, neither huge keepers

1) Angel Guzman CHC P – He’s OK, will be kept. Will be back in the farm this year
2) Fred Lewis SF OF – He’s probably not a true keeper. But, he’s a Giant, so Barry will keep him.

BUMS:
3 players, only 1 is really a keeper

1) Lastings Milledge NYM OF – He’s still on the fast track to stardom. Will be in the farm this year
2) Norihiro Nakamura LA 3B – he didn’t make it up last year, no reason to think he can this year. Look for him to be returned to the farm draft list
3) Nate Schierholtz SF 3B – He’s a Giant, so Doug has to keep him. Though, he’s probably not of high enough value

Busch:
2 players, could keep 1 or 2

1) Yusmeiro Petit NYM P – big power. He’s a keeper, will be in the farm
2) James Loney LA 1B – He never has lived up to the hype. Probably goes back into the farm draft

Cappers:
3 players, but only 1 will return to his farm list

1) Edwin Encarnacion – he’ll be starting 3B for Cinci
2) Ian Stewart Col 3B – he’ll be in the farm this year and Colorado soon enough, a sure keeper
3) Freddy Guzman SD OF – he should have dropped him last year then he got hurt. He’ll be dropped for someone new this year

DOYLE:
3 players, 2 will be in majors, maybe all 3

1) Dioner Navarro LA C – starter in LA
2) Josh Barfield SD 2B – will make SD
3) Cole Hamels Phi P – probably back in farm, but could make majors

HOBO:
4 players, interesting choices
1) Carlos Quentin Ariz OF – star, will be in farm this year, a keeper
2) Adam Wainwright Atl P – he’s decent, could be kept or sent back to farm draft
3) Brad Nelson Mil 1B – he’ll return to farm draft
4) Joey Votto Cin 1B – no star, could be kept, probably back to draft

Lickers:
2 players, but Reed will be in majors
1) Eric Reed – starting OF for Florida
2) Chad Billingsley – will be kept, back in farm

PECK:
1 player for us
1) Chris Nelson SS Col – keeper, could drop if we got something better

RIPS:
2 players, 1 in majors

1) Conor Jackson – will be 1B in Arizona
2) Jose Capellan Mil P – could make the bullpen in Milwaukee or back to farm

Best shot -- HOBO. They probably don't need a second draft pick. I'm going to offer them Andruw Jones.
