7. Robbie Weinhardt- RP
8. Rafael Rodriguez- OF
9. Edinson Rincon- 3B

Castro is going to be a great catcher for me. Withrow has all the makings of a #2/3 SP. Mike Miner, sadly, becomes my 3rd best prospect, and should be a solid #3/4 for me. Cardenas needs to be better at AAA if he is going to be taken seriously, but he should be good in a couple years. McAllister should be a #5 for me, and solidify my rotation.

updated after 2 rounds....I like the SP depth I'm starting to get with Withrow, Miner, McAllister and Gould. If I could add 1 or 2 more solid SP prospects, I'll be pretty content

updated after trade with St. Lous.....need to upgrade my OFers, and Rodriguez gives me some depth. Hard to say what I can expect out of Ramirez, Rodriguez, Tosoni and Jay....probably not much. Offense shouldn't be a problem, as I have a solid core of players with Castro, Gonzalez, Kendrick, Rincon.

Mike Miner is really starting to throw well....I was bummed as hell to miss out on Mike Leake, but Minor is starting to come around

with young players like Jon Jay, Howie Kendrick, Stephen Drew, Chris Young, Matt Joyce, Brian Matusz, Mike Dunn, Joey Devine and Drew Storen on my active roster, the future looks good for the city by the Bay. I think I have the players to be competitive both now and down the road.
