Upton is 6 years younger. Gonzalez will put up some good numbers next year, but Upton has lots of room to improve some as well considering he just turned 24.

Also I have the 3rd pick in the draft...the top players going in are..
Kemp
J.Upton
Bautista
Ellsburry
Car.Go


All the good 1b's are kept. Pujols Tex Votto Fielder Cabrera
I think i would rather keep agon and draft one of the remaining OF's. I assume Kemp will be the 1st pick next year. How do you rank those OF's

I think knowing those OF are available and no elite 1B are available makes it an easy decision. There is a really good chance you get Upton back w/ that 3rd pick if not then Kemp,Bautista,Cargo and Ellsbury are the fallback options. Ummm yes please. Absolutley no reason I can find to keep Upton in that scenario. I do agree w/ the earlier poster that best case for you would be to try and move Upton for an ACE there has to be someone out there w/ 2 of them and Upton is an upgrade to any hitter they probably have. So there should be a good chance you can swing a deal like Upton for someone like a Verlander,Kershaw or another pitcher of that ilk.
I would rank the OF :
Kemp
Bautista
Upton

Cargo
Ellsbury

Upton and Hanson easy game.

I would grab one of those starters with my preference being Verlander. Only hitter I would consider would be McCuthchen but I would rather get a lock down SP.

First thing, judging by the responses to keep Upton,he can pretty much get you any pitcher you want. I think your first move should be to try to deal Upton for an elite pitcher. Hanson has really nice upside but injuries are a concern and he isn't quite an ACE yet, he's more of a nice 2/3 with upside if he's healthy and continues developing. So depending on whether you can make a deal for an ACE then that changes who I would take with that 2nd pick. But assuming you don't make a deal and you keep Agon and Hanson then I would rank the guys listed as follows:
McCutchen,Verlander,A Cabrera,Bruce,Lester,Cl Lee,Castro,Price,Uggla,M Young,Utley,Haren,Morse,ARam,Berkman,Hart

we can't make trades in the off season

Keep A Gon and Hansen for reasons mentioned above.

Then I see two logical options:

Pick 1A- Bautista
Pick 2A - McCutchen - McCutchen is a stud OF. Then you would have a top tier 1B, 3B (Bautista), and OF. Then draft some pitching as your hitting will be SET.

Pick 1B- Upton
Pick 2B- SP - Lester, Price, and Verlander in that order. I see Verlander regressing from 2011 and being on par with both Price and Lester. But both of them are younger. That would give you a top 1B, top OF, and top SP. Two of which are young and will produce for years.

I prefer option A, but B seems fine too.
