My picks: Jonathan India and Josh Bell

Admittedly, I’m not as confident in these two picks as I am in some of my others, but I needed to start filling in some of the holes in my lineup. I think India could have a nice bounce back season and Bell could benefit from another change of scenery, but they are both stretches to round out the lineup.

A big whoops for me in Round 12 was taking India over LeMahieu. Speaking of bounce back seasons, I see a solid one coming from the former NL and AL batting champion in the Bronx.

Turner going right before my Round 13 pick was interesting. He’ll be a key player for the Red Sox if they are to turn things around in 2023, but he’s someone I would have taken a flyer on later rather than in this round.
