Is Arod the consensus #3 pick? WHIR

Postby casem2k2 » Thu Feb 11, 2010 2:52 pm

It seems as though Pujols is the consensus #1 pick and Hanley is the #2 pick....

But is Arod the consensus #3 pick? Or can the case be made for a different player?

It depends on your format, but I have ARod #3.

I also have ARod at #3. He still has 3-4 great years in him to hit around 300 with 40 bombs. I think those are definitely the top 3. It gets a little more confusing in my opinion after that.

please help

There's an argument to be made for Braun, but I think it's Arod. 3B scarcity puts him over the top.

You can argue Braun but I'd still prefer ARod, he still has potential to be better than Pujols statistically, regardless of position. No one else does. Hanley goes 2nd because he's not a health risk and at SS.

I've seen Utley taken third a few times. I'm not gonna argue with it, and I would probably go with Arod if given the option, but the lack of guys who put up those kind of numbers in the 2B position could almost make the case for it. It's a tough call. :-?

For me, it's ARod vs Utley. You really can't go wrong with either, but I'm taking ARod 4 times out of 5.
