Rank these Guys

[Bigball]

Deep 14 mix H2H dynasty draft.
9 starts a week.
c,1b,2b,3b,SS,MI,CI 3OF,DH

Here are the players I am looking at:
I have the 6th and 9th Pick

I have Zieglar and closers are like gold - must start 3RP so I am looking at Devine.
We also play SS/MI so top SS/MI are valuable positions that are hard to fill - Beckham may be a solid choice.

I don't think Smoak will fall to me but Hanson may.

Could you rank these guys:

Tommy Hanson
Joey Devine
Trevor Cahill
Gordon Beckham
Brett Wallace
Justin Smoak
Derek Holland
Y.Alonso
Eric Hosmer
Brian Matusz

Each of the groups below are really, really close. I could see exchanging any one of the first three guys.

Smoak, Justin
Hosmer, Eric
Hanson, Tommy

Cahill, Trevor
Beckham, Gordon
Alonso, Yonder
Wallace, Brett
Matusz, Brian

Holland, Derek



Devine, Joey

[hybrid]

Justin Smoak - hard to find a fault
Trevor Cahill - close to Hanson but Cahill is a step ahead in developement per age level, so he gets the nod
Tommy Hanson - step below Cahill, but very close
Y.Alonso - polished hitter
Gordon Beckham - 2b/ss helps his value quite a bit
Brian Matusz - solid/safe SP
Eric Hosmer - going solely on potential could be ranked higher (top 3/4), but hasn't proven anything yet
Brett Wallace - safe/solid hitter, hopefully sticks at 3b
Derek Holland - improved each level, but sample size was pretty small after Low A
Joey Devine - i value rp/closers very little

Also Ive seen Hanson and Cahill pitch.. Cahill has nowhere near the stuff that Hanson possesses..Cahill to me seems to be a middle of the rotation type of guy..His fastball sits in the low 90s..Hanson on the other hand has absolutely unreal stuff..His ceiling is much higher than Cahill's imo..

I pretty much agree with Hybrid here but thats just too much work to rank. Maybe shorten the question next time.

Always nice to have a first hand view of someone. I've heard as much, but I'll still give Cahill the nod till I see both pitch. For example Cahill has been compared to a Webb type, who really doesnt blow you away stuff wise like others, but turns out very well. I also like that he is a very bright kid, not saying Hanson wasn't but I believe Cahill could of gone to an Ivy league school. And well his numbers speak for themselves. I wouldn't be surprised if Hanson turns out better, I just like Cahill a tad better right now.

Thanks for the input.

I ended up with Smoak #6, Cahill#9 and Wallace #23.

I appreciate your attention to this.
