I have Atkins at 3rd, Hanley SS,Ivan (Pudge) at Catcher.

Longoria is a man amongst boys in this list.

If you need a 3B, it's a no-brainer. Take Longoria. Heck, I would take Longoria no matter what I need. (maybe with the exception of Catcher with Ianetta.)

[Bigball]

Ok,
What about Brignac?

I will read the other post on him...

Do you no of any SS studs all the top SS ( Wood, Tulowski) are gone.
He Brignac is available in the draft.

I have Longoria, Braun, Brigna....
top 3

Ant other SS you know of..

13 Longoria, Evan (ETA 2008)
17 Brignac, Reid (ETA 2008)
18 Braun, Ryan (ETA 2007)

54 Iannetta, Chris (ETA 2007)
62 Rowell, Bill (ETA 2009)
63 Kouzmanoff, Kevin (ETA 2007)
111 Walker, Neil (ETA 2008)
125+ Castro, Kory

You might want to read the thread on Brignac in this forum. There is some talk of him moving to 2B, but maybe not. As much as I like Braun, I love Longoria. I would be surprised if he was available at 11.

Other shortstops to consider:
64 Andrus, Elvis Atlanta Braves 2009
81 Aybar, Erick Anaheim Angels 2007
93 Lillibridge, Brent Atlanta Braves 2008

i dont think Brigs has the defense to stick at SS at the next level imo. Andrus i think will but hes a long long ways away. if i were you i'd take Longoria no matter what position i needed. he reminds me somewhat of Alex Gordon.

[Bigball]

I will take Longoria at 11 if he is still available.
If not I will go Braun....

Thanks
