12 team, mixed league roto scoring. 9 hitting categories: HR, SB, RBI, R, BB, Hits, BA, OPS, Total Bases.
I want to draft a 2B and 3B on my back to back 2nd and 3rd round choices to go along with Hanley Ramirez. Because of all the hitting categories, my valuation suggests:
Pedroia, then Zobrist, then Phillips at 2B
Sandoval, then Youklis the Zimmerman at 3B.
Anyone see a missed opportunity going Ramirez, Sandoval and Pedroia in the first 3 rounds?

Re: Advise on 2B and 3B options
lots of people will disagree with me on this but I think when you're dealing with a second/third round early pick you should be getting solid performance with few question marks.
In this case I will site that
if you feel compelled to take a 3B at third round - you must get youkilis instead of sandoval.
reasoning
youkilis - we know what he is - we've seen him do his thing several years in a row.
Pablo - we have one year to base our opinion on
sandoval is in a struggling offense in a big ball park. Youk plays with the 2nd most powerful offense in sports.
I'm sorry to say this but sandoval is a big ole boy. I would love to get him as a value pick - but if I am using a third round pick - I want someone skinnier and less likely to get hurt.
As always - the best advice is to walk into the draft with a plan - but be ready to veer away if needed - I'm sure there will be someone staring you in the face at 3.2 or 3.3 and you will not be able to pass them up (I'm thinking sizemore/holiday/upton/ellsbury) similar
and you can wait to get whatever is left of the third tier of third basemen in your 4th or 5th round pick. (betweeen youk sandoval mark reynolds zimmerman)
And with all that being said - my easiest answer is NO - don't go in planning to take a third baseman with your third pick. Wait till your third pick gets there and take the best available player and odds are you'll see it's not a third baseman.
