I am trying to come up w/ my top 15 list, considering that the only Pitcher I will draft in the 1st rd is Prior, and in the 2nd rd I'd take Shilling or maybe Pedro. (Pedro probably won't be there)
Therefore I am making a top 15 hitter list so I can take 2 top hitters w/ my 1st 2 picks and go with a pitcher in rd 3 or 4.
it's a good list, but these lists can be skewed by lots of factors.
in my own lists, i tend to prioritize position scarcity. for instance, i would rather have renteria than sosa.
some people also put emphasis on speed, power, obp, avg...
but if we're just talking about who's going to knock the crap out of the ball, i think you have to include vernon wells in the top 15 (bumping thome or sosa).

I have Renteria and Wells down a few picks because I think these guys have a likelyhood of slipping down a round, more than the other players on the list.

I think Miguel and Sammy are going to have a huge year.
Sheff's #s will be good, but he is an injury risk, and Maggs doesn't run anymore. He will steal 5-8 bases.
