2007 First Round

[CraigMasbruch]

What does your first round look like for 2007? Mine is thus:

1) Pujols
2) Reyes
3) Soriano
4) Howard
5) ARod
6) Ortiz
7) Santana
8) Beltran
9) Cabrera
10) Vlad
11) Crawford
12) Utley

Let me know what you think, and post your own list

[Pogotheostrich]

I wouldn't take Reyes at #2 but to each his own.

I would pass on Reyes at #2 as well, but where is Manny?

Manny is getting the shaft in a lot of leagues, and I have no idea why.

[CraigMasbruch]

Manny is a consistent masher, but he's getting up there, and the injury bug may have finally found him. In my mind, all the guys on this list had a better year than him, and most are on the incline rather than the decline of their careers.

[CraigMasbruch]

Also, Reyes is probably a reach, but he has become the guy that everyone thought Carl Crawford would be (and made him a first rounder based on that expectation), and he's a shortstop. Maybe I should drop him a couple slots, but 19/64 is nothing to sneeze at. He's very young; perhaps next year it'll be 25/70?

[Cleveland Steamers]

I agree, Reyes at number 2 is a bit of a stretch. Other than not including Manny, the list seems decent enough.

[The_Met_Threat]

What about Hafner, i think he deserves some recognition, dh or whatever.

[Melo255]

My 1st Round would look like this as of now:

1. Pujols
2. Soriano
3. A-Rod
4. Ortiz
5. Howard
6. Hafner - 4,5,6 all interchangable but this would be my order
7. Reyes
8. Beltran
9. Cabrera
10. Utley
11. Crawford
12. Vlad

First 3 picks of 2nd would be:

Wright - I'd take Wright or Vlad at 12
Manny - injury concerns push him just out of first for me
Santana - I might take Santana at 10 - 12

[Simulacrum]

Also, Reyes is probably a reach, but he has become the guy that everyone thought Carl Crawford would be (and made him a first rounder based on that expectation), and he's a shortstop. Maybe I should drop him a couple slots, but 29/64 is nothing to sneeze at. He's very young; perhaps next year it'll be 25/70?

29/64 would be pretty awesome.. but I think it's actually 19/64.

Looks like I won't be getting Reyes in any leagues next season. I know it's not a perfect comparison, but all the Reyes hype reminds me of last season's Figgins hype.
