Who to draft 4th overall in a standard 5x5 league 

Post#1 » by ChronicKerr » Tue Feb 15, 2011 6:02 pm

So, Albert, Hanley, and Miggy are the consensus top 3 guys from what I've read and looked at. Who would you draft 4th overall in a standard 5x5 3 OF league? I think theres an argument to be made for about 5 guys and was wondering what everyone else thought.

Personally, I would go with Ryan Braun. However, like you said, with a handful of guys as legitimate contenders for the 4th pick, many times it will just boil down to your draft strategy. The reason I like Braun over the others is because his "down" year last year was good for 101 R, 25 HR, 103 RBI, 14 SB, and a .303 BA. Knowing that, and his enormous potential, there's not a better pick in my opinion.

I like Braun a lot as well, however, in a 3 OF league (vs a lot that are 5 OF) I'm not sure if I'd be getting the best value out of the pick going OF that early. I've been strongly considering Tulo and Longoria but I just think Tulo might be a bit too risky. Basically, I need to figure out a strategy and stick with it which I'm having a lot of trouble doing.

Does Tulo play a full year this year and continue to build on his strong September? Is 100-30-100-10 at .300 a realistic possibility for him?
