Thanks for the input guys...

Great points on Utley and Holliday, 2 guys definitely worth consideration......

Hopefully the 2nd and 3rd picks dictate which direction I go

Just remember, especially if it's for money...following your own personal highway sign to the draft may not be the right way to go.  It's most definitely the correct way home, however.

I would go with either Hanly, Reyes or Wright. Whichever guy is still left with the 4th pick.

it has to be Howard - he has been the most productive offensive players over the last 2 years - don't let the position fool you after you get past the top 1 or 2 guys most positions plateau. 

there is very little difference between jeter, reyes, troy t, peralta and jj hardy in 5 x 5 leagues.  So take the best offensive player available.

Howard and any one of those SS will be more porductive for you than Reyes and possibly Paul K of Mourneau or Berkman

Also you can wait on a third baseman - don't reach for Adkins - Cabera / Arod and Wright will be gone - don't reach for ARam , Adkins or Braun - Blaylock , Jones, Encarcion, Zimmerman,   should be there for you later and just as productive.

Holliday will be the most productive OF but not even close to Howard

In that position it all depends on what the 3 guys in front of you do... and sometimes a curveball and be thrown in the dirt and you can get lucky...

Below are the first 16 picks in my draft... (little large of a league) but this may give you an idea of some people feel... I think sometimes also you gotta look at position consideration as well.. a hard hitting 2nd basemen is worth much more than a hard hitting OF... get my drift... but good luck...
