Kurt Suzuki or Matt Wieters?

Midway through the draft someone noted that, based on the current rosters, Matthew Berry would finish in 1st place according to Baseball HQ's projections. Berry then noted that the simple spreadsheet projects that he has just $26 left with 10 players to fill. He's filled his team with 7 pitchers thus far and must make his $26 go a long way to finish his hitting roster.

Joe Sheehan won a bidding war with the room for Adam Jones, paying $22. Other notable draftees and their values include Justin Duchscherer ($2), Jason Kubel ($13), Travis Hafner ($7), Jim Thome ($12), JD Drew ($12), Jack Cust ($14), Kurt Suzuki ($11), and Pedro Martinez ($1). As Sheehan noted, this has to be the only league where Kurt Suzuki goes for more money than Matt Wieters ($9).

Jason Grey almost has his full hitting squad filled out, with a very nice mix of speed and power. Rather than spending big on the stars, he's drafted players in the range of $11-$24.
