Just picked Lincecum and Lester in my draft....Opinions?
We were at the end of the 13th round (8th pick out of 10 teams) and I took Lincecum and then Lester in the top of the 14th round....picks 128 and 133 respectively. The other SP's available were guys like Kuroda, Vogelsong, Morrow (who can never stay healthy), Estrada, Fiers, and Hammel. I thought the possible upside of Lincecum and Lester in contract years was better than what was on the board. They're now with a rotation that already had Lee, Greinke, and Scherzer as the top 3 and I felt safe taking the chance on them. Any opinions?

Good value there. Given their past records, they are too good not to rebound. They are human though and susceptible to down years

I agree. That is a great place in the draft to take a risk for big upside.

I felt that it was a safe place to take that risk. Still have 12 more rounds to go, so I can always grab a couple of back up plans. I've read that Lincecum changed his off season workout and has added about 10lbs. I'm hoping that a return of John Farrell will help Lester rebound to something close to his 2007-2010 form when Farrell was the pitching coach.
