10 team league each team must keep 3 players...lose your pick in the rounds where your keepers went in last years draft - you can keep a player for a max of 3 years

My keepers:
Utley - 3rd rd
Votto - 9th rd
Lincecum - 10th rd

so i have no pick in rds 3,9,10

I know for a fact that Hanley will go #1 and Braun #2. My question is what do I do with the #3 overall pick...here is a list of the best available players - I know you cant really go wrong with any of them but I'm not exactly sure what order I would rank them.

Miguel Cabrera
Prince Fielder
Ryan Howard
David Wright
(next best available player according to MDP is Ellsbury so the decision is really only between these 4)

I know most people probably wouldnt put Wright on this list, but I really think he can bounce back this year and go .320 100r, 25-30hr, 110-120rbi, 20+ sb. Although he will prob post the best HR/RBI numbers, I just don't want to take Howard in the 1st round as he is too much of a BA liability and I can get similar power numbers from Fielder/Cabrera along with a .300 avg.

I'm pretty sure the decision I have is Cabrera or Fielder...who would u guys take? Or do I try and trade down a few spots and take Wright or Howard?

I like Fielder there, 45 home run power and a good batting average.

I'll say Prince.

Miggy will give you a higher BA but that's about it. Prince has him edged out in all the power categories and their OBP's are similar as Prince draws a lot of walks. Prince is the slightly better fantasy player pretty much across the board IMO.

I'll go with Fielder.

Slight edge to Prince over Miggy. Wright is a liability to hit 30 HRs again playing half his games at Citi Field. Although I hope I'm wrong as a Mets fan.
