Who would you draft with the first pick if you were picking for my team? Players available:

Top Batters - Josh Hamilton, Shin-Soo Choo, Bobby Abreu, Adam Jones, Derek Lee, Dan Uggla, Michael Young, Tori Hunter, Hunter Pence, Nate McLouth, Jay Bruce

Top Pitchers - Ubaldo Jimenez, Cole Hamels, Ricky Nolasco, Chad Billingsley, Mariano Rivera, Jared Weaver, Ervin Santana, Matt Garza, Joakim Soria, Joe Nathan

I am thinking pitcher to start the draft to go with the batters I currently have but which pitcher? Any insight? Thanks!

Since you have no pitching, I would lean in that direction, and go with Hamels, Bills or Jimenez. Do you have the #1 pick??

That is affirmative, I have the first pick of the draft. Thanks for the help.

If I go with pitching...Which one do I pick out of Hamels, Ubaldo, or Billingsley?

I'm agreeing w/ the previous posters. You have a strong offense, now you need some arms. I'd be adding arms for every pick for at least the next 5 rounds.

Ubaldo is a great choice. I like him better than Bills and Hamels too.

Would you help with mine?

Bruce

I like Hamels the best of this group followed very, very closely by Jimenez. By the looks of his start to the Spring, it looks like he's back and with Halladay in town, the preasure is off of his back to carry the team.

I think Choo has overall better value, but you don't want to be too far behind in pitching. I am guessing you'll still be able to get Billingsly on your next set of wheel picks and I would get him then as well no matter who you decide to take this round.

Please take a look!

Hamilton. You can afford to take the "health" risk on him and if he produces, he will bring you a stud SP in return during the season.
