7) David Murphy, OF, Texas Rangers

Team: Steve Gardner, USA TODAY/Sports Weekly | Roster

Murphy gets his best shot at a starting job with Josh Hamilton now in Anaheim. He's produced some very nice numbers when he's played – including a .304 average with 15 homers and 10 steals last season. The skills are there.

8) Oscar Taveras, OF, St. Louis Cardinals

Team: Mark Chamberlin, Baseball Sharks | Roster

In a weekly lineup league there is room for one or two high upside midseason stashes on the bench, especially this far out from opening day. Taveras has .300/.370/.500+ written all over him; can he do it year one? We'll see.

9) Alex Cobb, SP, Tampa Bay Rays

Team: Tim Heaney, KFFL | Roster

Tampa back-enders remain solid bets for pitching profit. Cobb had a mini-breakthrough last year in terms of command. The ground-ball artist is a lot like Trevor Cahill, whom Steve Gardner plucked before me a few rounds ago. Cobb's mid-3.00 ERA with modest strikeout upside balances my selection of Tommy Hanson in Round 22.

10) Omar Infante, 2B, Detroit Tigers

Team: Nicholas Minnix, KFFL | Roster

This is just a case of taking a likely value pick. At this stage, in the final quarter, most players are prayers. It's surprising that someone who needed some MI depth didn't want Infante, who'll probably bat second for los Tigres for most of the season. Can't beat that, at this point, and some security at MI won't hurt for me.

11) Trevor Bauer, SP, Cleveland Indians

Team: Howard Bender, FanGraphs | Roster

How quickly people forget. He was one of the most highly touted young pitchers last season, and a less-than-spectacular debut that was rushed to begin with, coupled with some unconventional warm-up practices, put him out of favor with the stodgy, old-school critics. A move to a more neutral park should help counter any alleged issues with moving to the American League.

12) Jhonny Peralta, SS, Detroit Tigers

Team: Pasko Varnica, Mastersball | Roster

Peralta is the protection if my primary SS goes down; his projected 15 HRs are not bad to have on the bench.
