Given the fact that A-Rod will be out and you already have two great SP, I'd focus on offense for the next couple of picks.
For you, I'd love to see McCann as the next selection. Considering A-Ram,and his great position scarcity bonus (2b and SS), I think it's best to go with catcher and then find the best 2B or SS quickly thereafter.
Other value picks that I like are Markakis, Bay, and Kemp.
Still very nice options out there and all should help bolster your offense until A-Roids returns.
i think i like Kemp. he could go 20+ HR/30+ SB with .300+ AVG. my only concern with him is that im reading he could hit 6th behind Loney. even then with Furcal 1st/Hudson 2nd that means Martin/Blake is down after Kemp so he should still score a good amount of runs while getting good RBI.
Quentin for me. I also like Markakis, Bay and Kemp as others have said. Definitely go bat. I think you can get some cheap speed throughout, so go with the best upside in general. Some will argue Quentin only had 1 huge year, but given his minor league pedigree and home ballpark, I'd take my chances. If you want to take a gamble for some added speed go Kemp. If you want to go safest, go Markakis or Bay as both have track records, and a bit of upside given Bay has a full season in Boston instead of Pittsburgh and Markakis still has untapped power potential. Overall, I don't see any of these as being bat choices, so sleep easy with whatever selection you make. Good luck. If you don't mind, I could use some help with mine as well. Thanks in advance.

I'm high on Kemp this year, having taken him as high as 33 overall. I'd say he's the way to go. It isn't even close to likely, but the fact that a 35-35 season isn't an impossibility for this young stud just pushes him over the top for me. If he has a regular year, hes a top 10 outfielder, if he has a breakout year he's a top 10 player. You just can't turn down that kind of potential.
