For a keeper league, I like Liriano, Bruce or Votto. Drew would be in the discussion too but I like the other 3 a bit more than him. Phillips would be in the mix too but I'm removing him since you have Utley.
You have 2 young OFers that will be keepers next year - so I'd probably pass on Bruce.
With any luck Youk will move to 3B next year and you'll have 1B as a vacancy... So to me, it comes down to Votto or Liriano.
I personally would take Liriano - he's looking great in ST (not that Votto isn't looking great in the WBC - he must have hit that ball 500 feet!). For me it's a coin flip between those two, but I go with Liriano because he's the only decent pitcher you listed, whereas you have Ortiz and Lee as other 1B options - chances are Lee will make it back to you with your next pick, and if Votto, Lee and Ortiz are available I have to assume there are other 1B available too.
nice post ! thank you for the help...plan is to grab liriano in the 6th round and votto in the 7th ....im hoping he lasts. if not i like ortiz and loney....lets say liriano goes before i get him in the 6th should i wait for votto or grab him right away.
Phillips is the best on the board IMO. He's proven he can go 30/30 at a rather thin position. Sure you have Utley at 2b but assuming your league has an IF/MI or Util spot I would fill it with Phillips with no regrets.
Hal·la·day, n. 1. every fifth day in Philadelphia. 2. a day of rest for the bullpen. 3. innings eater. 4. doc. 5. ace.
liriano is going to have a great year. I think people are focusing mainly on injury than the monster he was pre-TJ surgury. So far hes looked great in spring training.
I would go witheither him or votto.
Or you could draft phillips and trade to someone who doesn't have a stud 2b. Lot of options
hope it helps
