I personally would probably take Hanley, ARod and Pujols above him, but they're so close in value you won't spend all season beating yourself up over it. It's your team, go with your gut. ;-D


<edit>
OR.... See if you can trade down to the 4 spot. Still get Wright, plus a better round 2 pick.

I would not take Wright at #2. However, this is fantasy baseball and you should draft and build the team you want. If you are set on Wright I would at least offer to trade the #2 pick to the owners of the # 3 & 4 pick to try and get a better pick down the road. Maybe offer to swap order in rounds 1 & 2 only so you get a slightly better pick in round 2.

I would never take WRight that high this year with a healthy Pujols, AROid and Hanley in the mix. I would take them Hanley, ARod, Pujols, WRight in that order.

A-Roid might have a 50/150 season in him... im not so sure about A-Rod tho. Hanley or AP would both be the safer picks. And despite how much i hate A-Rod the numbers dont lie and the kid is the single greatest baseball specimen ive personally ever seen play the game. With Texiera hitting behind him his numbers if anything should be a bit better

You have to take ARod. He could easily post 1st overall stats.
