What's the earliest you would draft Mi-Cab?

[TheA'sFatLeadoffMan]

I see him as good as the 4th or 5th pick, I'm not sold on a repeat type season from Soriano, A-Rod is just a hard guy to feel comfortable with, Howard is a stud, Reyes I am suspicious of a repeat power performance, and Pujols and Santanna are no brainers IMO.

Of course I'm probably looking at every bright spot I can find to feel this way considering I'm a fan of the player. Am I stretching it or is this reasonable. I'm thinking 30-35 HR's is possible, along with more RBI's on a maturing offense, BA will be hard to repeat, but the guy has the potential for a big power push with how young he is, any SB he gets is a positive.

I wouldn't draft Miggy earlier then 10th

I wouldn't draft Miggy earlier then 10th

I agree, but I think we're both in the minority.

Pujols
A-Rod
Santana
Reyes
Howard


These are the only guys I would definitely take ahead of Cabrera. I could make an argument for him at any point after these guys against the Sorianos, Beltrans, Crawfords, Utleys, and Wrights of the world.

So, the earliest I would take him is 6th by my rankings, but if he fell to 10 I wouldn't complain, but I would snatch him up in a heartbeat at 10 or later.

In a keeper league, i would take him 2nd.

In a keeper league, i would take him 2nd.

I took him 3rd last year and wasn't dissappointed, that said... I think I would definitely take Reyes over him (power/speed combo at a scarce position), and then I probably take him 3rd (though I think about Santana as well)

[A Fleshner Fantasy]

Obviously I would take Pujols over him. I would also go with Reyes over him. Maybe Santana, but overall, I would take him first half of the first round.

[Ender]

There is absolutely no way that Howard or Reyes are a lock over Cabrera as he's outproduced both of them over the past 3 years. Personally I have him at about #10 but I'd have no problem with someone taking him 4 or 5.

[Seanyfever]

In keeper, I agree that he is top three, and like someone, could be top two.

[Keeper1125]

I would draft Pujols, Santana, Reyes, Utley, and Crawford first. 3B is just too deep.
