I could REALLY use some help in my 2 rd dyansty draft

[Shaffe]

So I just joined a dynasty league and we're in the drafting process as I type. We get 24 hours to make a pick so responses are welcome all the way through the workday today (Monday). I have picks 7, 12, 16 and 17. I was hoping to get Pedro Alvarez at 7, but the guy right in front of me took him even though he said he wasn't going to, but that's the breaks. The two guys I was really targeting with 7 and 12 going in were Alvarez and Martin Perez, but now that Alvarez is gone I'm not sure if I should go ahead and guarantee myself Perez or draft somebody else and hope 4 guys pass on Perez.

My OFers right now are Kubel, McCutchen, Nelly Cruz, Coghlan (Util), F. Guttierez (Util), Wells, and Maggs
My SPs right now are Greinke, Wainwright, W.Davis, R.Wells, Marquis, Haraing, and Volstad

If I was going to wait on Perez the most likely candidate right now I'd take is Dustin Ackley. Also available is Michael Taylor, Smoak, Carlos Santana, and J.Montero.

So what should I do? Take Ackley (or somebody else) and hope Perez makes it back to me, or get the #2 guy I really wanted and settle for Carlos Santana at 12 (I also wanted to get Santana, but not as bad as Alvarez/Perez)? I'm really up in the air on this one.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Ackely no doubt, then hope for Santana at 12. Michael Stanton available? I do like Perez, but wouldn't pass up C Santana, probably a future VMart for him. I do like Perez over Montero, who i see as a DH/1B, and Taylor.

M Stanton if available?
Ackely
C Santana
Perez
Smoak

What were picks 1-6?

[Shaffe]

Stanton is gone. First 6 picks went Heyward, Strasburg, Jennings, Drabek, Stanton, Alvarez. Anybody else that is new is available.

The thing about Perez is I almost think he's either going to go in the next couple of picks or not at all. You never know what other guys know outside of the obvious names and Perez is a pretty new name.

I like Perez, and if you want him, take him. But if i was picking, Ackely is my guy. Looks like he is moving to 2B. He is a pure hitter. Had Strasburg not been in the draft, you are looking at the clear cut next talented guy.

Drabek went way too soon. He's not top 20 imo.

Went with Ackley. Thanks for the help, HOOTIE.
