Howard, Ramirez, Roberts, Amaris. This gives you coverage of positions without reaching too early for players. I also wouldn't draft a pitcher in those early rounds. Better values can be found later.

I agree.

In the end you simply cant pass on Howard even though there's some good value later in the draft that you could use at UTIL. The roster jam is a bit of a pain in the ass but you pretty much have HR's and RBi's covered with Howard and Morneau. Now you just need to draft speed (which is covered nicely with Roberts, Kemp and Alexi) and pitching.

I'm a power hitter guy so I'd go best available- you can always trade after the draft.

1st- Ryan Howard
2nd- Manny Ramirez
3rd- Alfonso Soriano
4th- Aramis Ramirez

If the following are on the board, who do you draft in the round?

1st-
Santana - yes if there
Howard - yes if there
Crawford - too early
Beltran - ""
Holliday - ""

2nd-
Berkman - yes if there
Ramirez - ""
Lee - ""
Ichiro - not abeliever this year
Abreu - WAYYYY too early
Webb - if you went batter 1st round

3rd-
Ad. Gonzalez - a tad early but yes
Roberts - yes
Chipper - still too early for such a injury risk
Ordonez -too early
Soria - love this guy but too early for closers, there are decent options real late (hanrahan, capps, francisco, etc.)

4th-
Beckett - just my approach, but if i go P in early orunds i wait til much later to grab more..keep loading up on bats
S. Drew - too early
Aramis - yes
Bruce - too early
Dye - if you need power but he's more of a 5th rounder in 13-teamers
