Now out of those I would keep for sure:
Halladay
Beckett
Nolasco
Pedroia
Bruce - possibly
Soto
I would look to package Alexei Ramirez/Brad Lidge for a big hitting 1B or OF. Would include Bruce to maybe do a 3 for 2. Something along those lines

I think your keepers are pretty clear cut:
Bruce, Pedroia, ARam, Ethier, Beckett, Halladay, Utley...not sure who else you are concerned about...there is more depth at C than some people realize if you were worried about Soto...

You wouldn't keep Alfonso Soriano (ChC - OF) or Magglio Ordóñez (Det - OF)

no way on Maggs...Soriano I think is interchangable with Ethier...his value changes depending on where Lou decides to bat him...

Jay Bruce (Cin - OF)
Andre Ethier (LAD - OF)
Dustin Pedroia (Bos - 2B)
Alexei Ramírez (CWS - 2B,SS,OF)
Alfonso Soriano (ChC - OF)
Geovany Soto (ChC - C)
Albert Pujols

Trade Utley pre draft and keep the missile. Utley will fetch you a premium penny.
You already have the Missile and Pedroia for 2b/ss as keepers.

Try packaging Utley and ethier one fo your extra players for pujols and gordon or tex and longoria.

from what i've read, Soriano is going to bat at the top of the order and they plan on having him run more as far as Ethier is value is tied to if they sign Manny
