Look for Matt Kemp to go flying up draft boards this winter.
1. Albert Pujols-1B StL
Pujols should be #1 no matter what Mozeliak and the Cardinals do this winter.
2. Alex Rodriguez-3B NYY
That ballpark makes me feel like A-Rod is back in Texas.
3. Hanley Ramirez-SS Fla
If Hanley falls past 3 you are getting a steal.
4. Ryan Braun-OF Mil
Braun goes 32-114-20-113-.320 in an off year. Ridiculous. He hits 45 bombs next year.
5. Chase Utley-2B Phi
Great park, lineup and a scarce position. More of the same for Chut.
6. Matt Kemp-OF LAD
Feels weird putting him this high but just imagine where his numbers would be hitting somewhere in the middle of the lineup all year long.
7. Tim Lincecum-SP SF
Tough to take a pitcher this early, but its Lincecum. Its awesome to own him.
8. Miguel Cabrera-1B Det
Miggy’s going to be extremely undervalued in 2010.
9. Ian Kinsler-2B Tex
This is not too early for Kinsler. He’s a 30-30 middle infielder who will see his average go up into the .280s with some better luck.
10. Mark Teixeira-1B NYY
This doesn’t appear to be the year hung up at the end of the draft. Lots of options here.
Honorable Mention:
Carl Crawford–you can take him but if you do you obviously haven’t drafted him in the 1st round before.
Prince Fielder–I don’t like players coming off career seasons.
Joe Mauer–Call me a skeptic. I thought Mauer was too early years before in the 5th round. Mauer still isnt a 1st rounder to me.
David Wright–Will be undervalued but last years quirky season (extremely lucky; few homers; concussed) has me a bit worried.
Mark Reynolds–Never pay for a career year. Never.
