I finally pulled the trigger on Manny here. In a perfect world (aka if I already knew he was signed somewhere I was happy with), I'd likely have him top 5, with the order being...

Braun
Sizemore
Beltran
Hamilton
Ramirez

We're talking about a guy that went .332/.430/.601 last year with 37 HR and 121 RBI. The guy has a chance to beat out every other guy we've voted for so far. I just don't feel comfortable picking him any higher than 8 or so without seeing where the heck he's going to end up.

Just about everything I said about Carlos Lee I could say about Manny. Of course the X factor being that he's still a FA and has a chance of going to an unfavorable ballpark. Still he's the best choice left here.

Upton!!!!! Especially considering he was partially injured last year (supposedly the reason his power numbers were low). I got love for Manny but he's a FA still and Upton has Upside.

No love for Quentin here? Kid was on a 43-HR pace with a very solid .288 AVG. He has 45 HR/.315 AVG/15 SB upside with a ton of R/RBI. I voted for him 3 picks ago.

I'll take Upton here as well, with Manny being my next option. Of course, when his situation settles and we can see the park/lineup he'll be hitting in, he could easily shoot up to top 3-5.
