Out of the list below who would be worth taking? I'm thinking Max Ramirez/David Murphy/or Matt Gamel (but we hold a minor 5 player draft after major draft)
1B: Casey Blake Lyle Overbay Daric Barton Eric Hinske Chad Tracy Mark Teahen Ron Belliard Bryan LaHair Joe Koshansky
2B: Orlando Hudson Alexi Casilla Kazuo Matsui Freddy Sanchez Mark Ellis Emmanuel Burris Jeff Baker Chris Getz Emilio Bonifacio
SS: Cristian Guzman Edgar Renteria Eric Aybar Jerry Hairston Boby Crosby Alcides Escobar Reid Brignac
3B: Ty Wiggton Bill Hall Brandon Inge Matt Gamel Jack Hannahan
OF:
Aaron Rowand Juan Pierre David Murphy Ryan Church Luke Scott Jody Gerut Ken Griffey Marcus Thames Rocco Baldelli Josh Anderson Daniel Murphy
SP: Bronson Arroyo Paul Maholm Brad Penny Sean Marshall David Purcey Jon Garland Pedro Martinez
I think that I would take David Murphy and Edgar Renteria. Here is why...
Murphy has a starting job in Texas and he produced last year when he played. I expect him to build on that this season.
You've got Andrus in your starting lineup. I don't think that it's a lock that he will be in the majors all season this year, or that he will produce if he is. Renteria gives you a nice veteran to replace him if you need to do so.

Along with that, I like Casey Blake, good for 1b and 3b, and Figgins may dissapoint this year.
I also would go with Renteria and Hudson. YOu need them as backups as your MI options are questionable right now. And Renteria and Hudson have starting jobs and will produce at least avg. numbers.
