Should we assume this is a keeper league. You list six players does this mean you are drafting for the seventh round? If yes those are some mighty slim pickings, this cant be right.

I will respond to your response.
8th round of a 14 team league, I left off that I have Fuentes in addition to my other guys. It is a keeper league.
Forget the man crush. I drop what I'm doing to watch Zack Greinke pitch.

Yes, I would agree with the Upton pick as well. For what its worth PECOTA likes him more than all the others listed starting this year. PECOTA's forcast: 278-84-24-80-12
lastings is your most proven commodity here.. look at last year, especially the 2nd half of last year.. and age is obviously not a concern since all are under 25..
Milledge is a pretty safe bet to hit 23 HR and steal 25+ bases.. also, there is no one in Wahington that can take center field from him.. so it's his for the season..
I like the remaining OF on the board, but I think you'll have to wind up taking Justin Upton here since I'm sure most in your league will be enamored with his long-term ceiling. I believe he'll eventually meet the hype, but keep in mind that as advanced as he is for a soon-to-be 22 year-old, he'll figure to be a bit raw. I'm still a believer in him this year and next though (he still managed 15 homers in 356 AB last year, just sayin').
I'm wondering what else do you have out there in the draft pool besides OF?
