There's really no reason to draft Laird, unless you're playing in a unique league where just getting some bulk numbers at a shallow position will be advantageous. Almost everyone can safely ignore Laird. .240-25-2-20-0 in 200 AB

Positives / Upside	With a tenuous hold on the starting C job in Detroit, Laird can offer some ability to produce bulk numbers, especially if you're playing in a deep league that, say, starts two catchers.
Negatives / Downside	Laird doesn't produce even average numbers in any category, and his poor batting average offsets any modest HR and RBI he might produce. Prospect Alex Avila is closing in on the starting gig, meaning Laird may only start the year with regular ABs.
Recommendation	Avoid
Draft Position	413
