We’re going to skip through most of these picks to get to final comments, but first, the main story of the draft seemed to be the disparity between the draft selections of Justin Morneau and Justin Verlander compared to where Yahoo ranked them. Gutjahr eventually pulled the trigger at the Round 18 to 19 turn.

Hicks is thrilled with acquiring Carlos Rodon (Round 18) and Evan Marshall (Round 22). About Marshall, he said, “Addison Reed is on the hottest of seats. I'll take my chances on setup men all day in large part for K’s/ERA/WHIP.”
