I have back to back draft picks coming up in our prospect draft. I'm trying to decide between the following:
Pitchers
Madison Bumgarner
Tim Alderson
Trevor Cahill
C
Buster Posey
1B
Kila Ka'aihue
Gaby Sanchez
Angel Villalona
3B
Mat Gamel
Conor Gillaspie
OF
Dexter Fowler
Aaron Cunningham
Nothing special, just a standard 5x5 league. We hare able to keep 4 prospects yearly from this draft. I came into the draft holding onto LaPorta and Smardzjia.
Can you place them in the order that you'd go for them in?

Bumgarner
Posey
Cahill
Alderson
Fowler
Gamel
Villalona
The rest are a bit interchangeable in my mind, and don't offer a ton of upside. The top four up there are all elite prospects, and can be reasonably expected to develop into solid + big league players. Cahill and Posey are the closest to the show, BTW, if that matters to you.

I would also select Bumgarner and Posey. Although with Bumgarner, Posey, Cahill and Fowler I also believe it is a flip of the coin for who is the best. All four of these guys have nice resumes, but again all four could fail.
If SP is your strong suite I would probably go with Posey and Fowler due to the fact the SP is generally a crap shoot, In addition Bumgarner is at least a couple of years away. Regardless I would at least draft one of Posey or Fowler know matter which direction you go.

Bumgarner
Posey
Cahill
Fowler
I'd rank them in that order.
Try to get two of those if you can.
He once hit a ball between my legs so hard that my center-fielder caught it on the fly backing up against the wall.
If Satch (Paige) and I were pitching on the same team, we would clinch the pennant by July fourth and go fishing until World Series time.
