He's a list I put together for a draft I'm actually in right now. I had to do some quick editing b/c your eligibility rules are different from mine and I had pitchers ranked, so I probably left some in there that aren't eligible for you. The # to the left is where I rank them as a hitter, given your criteria. The # to the right is where they were drafted in my league.
