My only reservation, other than the fact that I think Pedroia is very good value at #16 overall, is that you're playing in a points league which puts a dent in Stanton's value. I guess it comes down to your league's scoring format. If strikeouts are penalized at -.5 or more, I think you'd be better off looking elsewhere and trying to snag Stanton later.

No penalty for strikeouts.
But the more I look at it- maybe I'm better off getting Pedroia and then I can get either Stanton or McCutchen or Hamilton at 25.
That 25% strikeout rate is a bit concerning for Stanton.
