Delmon Young had his issues as a youngster but in 2010, he finally developed into the type of hitter we came to expect. Only 25 years old, Young is still maturing physically and should continue to build on his career high 21 home runs from a year ago. Don't be the fantasy owner who doubts this young mans abilities if he falls into the middle rounds of your draft. Young has always hit for a steady batting av ...

Two Diamondback hitters come off the draft board in the tenth round as Kelly Johnson and Chris Young are worthy starters. Young probably won't fall this far in a real draft but his career .241 batting average is a liability fantasy owners will have to live with. Arizona was one of the worst teams in baseball last season, but like the Orioles, they upgraded with a seasoned coaching staff and that should help ...

Looking at the quality pitching that is still available in the ninth round of our twelve team mock, it is easy to see why many fantasy baseball owners are stocking up on hitting early. With some many pitchers finding success in 2010, fantasy owners have the luxury of dropping down and they can still acquire talents like Roy Oswalt, Clay Buchholz and Trevor Cahill in the middle rounds.

The White Sox will have one of the top five offenses in baseball and Paul Konerko should pay off as a quality first baseman as a seventh round selection.

Pitching is beginning to show strength as five of the 12 selections in the sixth round were pitchers.

One of the draw backs of partaking in mock drafts is that fellow participants drop out of the draft after a few rounds. While the mock draft started out with all 12 teams signed in with live users, one of the teams obviously wasn't around for the fifth round as Adam Wainwright was selected by the auto draft.
