If Manny had a team, i'd vote for him, but Carlos Lee! He was studly until he got hurt.

i think id go carlos lee. like smoove mentioned in vote #6, he is as steady as they come. im tempted to go quentin here, but i dont see his upside as too much more than what lee will give you (it is more, just not all that much), and there is more downside.

without a team, its hard to gauge manny's value. right now i think it would come after quentin.

i have to know upton is going to hit 20+ hr for me to draft him here, so im probably not going to get him on any of my teams this year.

Agreed

I went Manny, although there are a few other good picks as well. No clear cut choices from Soriano - the next four to five picks, IMO.

Going with Upton here.

Going with Upton here.

I would go Upton if he didn't have that shoulder surgery. So I went Kemp.
Fully fit Upton > Kemp.
I'm expecting the first 1 or 2 months to be sluggish for Upton, so I downgrade him accordingly.

Agreed

Manny will have a team, so I must vote Manny.

[Field]

I'm going with Upton although I would take Manny depending on who I selected with my first pick. Upton's injury scares me less than Quentin's. I feel like Lee will regress some this year. Kemp will be much closer to 20 steals in 09.

[Grounded Polo]

I voted Manny, I think he can put up equal numbers to Lee but also has the upside of being the most valuable fantasy outfielder every year.
