Take D Wright with #2 pick?

Postby bruuno2 » Sun Feb 15, 2009 11:49 am

over Hanley,Pujols,or A-rod?One of these 3 will be gone i'm sure,but Wright will be there @ 2.Truth is i'm a little worried about A-Rod.How is he going to hold up mentally?3b is a thin position and Wrights a good 5 tool player.Not many mock drafts show Wright getting picked this early though.Your thoughts?I'm in a 10 team normal yahoo roto league. :-?

I picked Wright # 2 in 1 league last year. I had no regrets. I don't think it's a bad idea at all.

I would still Take Pujols, Hanley or A-Roid or Wright.

Wright actually posted better number than A-Rod last season hitting for a better average with more RBI's and only 2 fewer home runs. I believe Wright is a superior player and with 3rd base being so shallow, you wouldn't hear any snickers from me for taking him even 1st overall.

My personal opinion is you can't, I would pick in this order Ram, Pujols, Wright

I dont blame you for picking WRight at #2 but imo he is best picked at #3

Assuming Hanley is off the board, I'd narrow it down to Pujols or A-Rod with the edge still going to A-Rod.

completely agree. I'm looking at Wright around the 4/5 spot.

I don't see how you can't take ARod. He has the potential to carry your team to a championship by himself, more than any other player. David Wright doesn't have 50 home run and 150 RBI potential.

I don't care what they say- go with you gut ;-D

* Also, I am the proud owner of David Wright since my keeper league was created three seasons ago. Going into season four, I would not trade him for anyone not named "hanley".
