Gotta be Butler. he's hands down the best in that group. He could hit 30+ with a .300 average. I wouldn't go with Bourn personally, you can likely get a better 1 trick pony later on, Pierre is an everyday player now. Out of that group I also like McLouth. He'll fill your CF spot and later on you can just grab the best OF available and not be tied down to a particular OF spot.

Thanks, you make a great case for Mclouth and Butler, I still look at Abreu though as a viable option. tough choices.

Butler
McLouth

I concur McClouth and Butler are your clear choices. You can get a good source of steals later in the draft. Abreu is interesting, but at some point he has to decline. His power numbers wont be there but he'll hit for average and get some steals, but McClouth and Butler both have the bigger upside the best you can hope from Abreu is that he matches last year, which is not likely.

Thanks everyone, the one pick prior to mine took Abreu so my decision was a lot easier.

Butler and Mclouth.....Thanks again.
