I also like this list but I would take Reyes higher(probably because my league counts triples). I would also take Utley before Bay b/c of position and the only SP I would take in the 1st 3 rounds is Santana.
[EDIT] One thing I notice is that Holliday is in a lot of top 25's but no Jeter. When I asked last week who to keep between the two, almost everyone said Jeter.[/EDIT]

Not horrible though I think in a keeper/dynasty team ranking I'd be hesitant to rank anyone over 35 (Thome).

I wouldn't say those rankings are bad at all. A few things I would change is like what the above poster said. Thome should be ranked high, but those who take him have to be aware he only has short term value. Also, I prolly wouldn't take Cain above Webb or Oswalt. I'm really not a big fan of Furcal or Rollins, so I'd be reluctant to take them in the third round. I think DLee could go up a few spots, ARod too, as well as Beltran, and I'd prolly knock Crawford out of the first round.
I'd like to see Matsui start making some of these keeper/dynasty lists. If he's healthy in that Yankee lineup next year, he could put up some serious numbers. And I think he's motivated to do it.
I see Wright being a player in most of these lists. May I inquire why he is seen as such a lock, but someone like Garrett Atkins is not? Surely it cannot simply be the few years difference in age.
