Team Draft Needs: El Diablos

by David Castle
EL DIABLOS
Nomination Order:  #2
Biggest Need(s):
Two words: availability and pitching. After CJ got screwed over by Ryan Bush, I don’t think he’s going to mess around with what “could” be in this year's draft, and instead draft strictly by need. On the plus side, keeping Dakota and former MVP Kyle Tomlinson for just a combined $55 is an absolute steal.
Top Targets:
Michael Villarreal: He provides both availability and pitching if el Diablos were to pursue him in the draft. He has a slightly below average arm with a more than serviceable bat. He may end up going for more money than people think.

Mark Phillips: Aside from the obvious father/son relationship, Mark could fill many needs el Diablos have. His availability would be the key reason why el Diablos go after him, but he can also pitch and isn’t too bad at the plate. For wanting to play part time, he’s a perfect fit.
