The second team started the round with Hall. He's not likely to ever hit 35 home runs in a season again, but picking up 20 this late is not too shabby.

Team #1 took a chance on Lester. He is just about guaranteed a spot in the rotation and should do well. At worst, he'll pick up plenty of wins.

I went with Gary Matthews this time around, which gives me two OFs playing for the Angels. For some reason I've been getting hated on for drafting him, but in round 20, I felt he was a good pick. He has the ability to hit 20+ HRs and get 75+ runs and RBIs hitting in a good Angels' lineup. His batting average might hurt me a little, but probably won't be noticable in the end. And getting 15-20 steals isn't out of the question either.

All-in-all I think getting Matthews in the 20th round is a good pick. He'll go well with the rest of my outfield of Carlos Lee, Torii Hunter and Ken Griffey Jr.

Really happy to grab C-Jack (just for you Greg) this late in the draft.

I think he is a huge breakout candidate.  The platoon that had him in last year will be a thing of the past.  And that will let him fly.

I don't see a Carlos Pena type explosion out him, but 25-30 HR is definitely possible.

The Bill Hall pick really made me mad. I had him locked on my radar, passed on him in the previous round and then Humbert snatched him. Oh well. I also had Orlando Hudson locked on and was about to take him the previous round and you always love when a guy you're targeting is still there when it's your turn. Hudson was an All Star for the D-Backs and is a steady, consistent hitter/performer. He won't kill you in any category, so this is a solid pick this late.
