Who to pick with 8th overall?(WHIR)

[kidsilk]

I just found out I have the 8th overall pick in my redraft, mixed, 10 team, 25 man rosters, 6x6 H2H league(Quality starts and OPS too)

Who should I draft at position 8? Teix, Utley, Rollins, Hamilton should all be availabel I would think. What do you guys think?

[kidsilk]

anyone? im almost on the clock

I have been posting that I would take Utley all week. I still stand by that.

The hip looks to be fine, he is crushing the ball in ST and will provide great numbers at an extremely shallow position

[captain num nuts]

Rollins

Utley or Tex

[Gatorsfan]

I'd go Rollins. There is a bigger dropoff between Rollins and the next SS than there is between Utley and the next few 2B's

[angels7777]

there are several decent SS rounds 6-10 - Drew, Tulo, Jeter, Young, Furcal, etc.

at 2B you are hoping Pedroia repeats last year, Kinsler statys healthy, etc. - too many IFs for my tastse and if you don't overdraft, you have to reach later on otherwise you end up with Weeks or K. Johnson

take Chase

I like Utley here...

But I will also say this: Johan could be a very nice pick too... I've had the luxury of having him in a league with QS and really, it boosts his value quite a bit. Being a redraft league, I wouldn't worry about any of the concerns about his decline in K-rate or IP totals. He'll be dominant this year and with K-Rod and Putz behind him, I'm placing bets on 20 wins.

That said, I understand that many don't like pitchers that high.

yeah... i'd probably have to go with utley, but i dont like it one bit. Potentially injured guys with your first pick can just kill a season, but from your list of guys, I think you have to take a bit of a gamble on him.

Please help with mine...
