Ya - I'm in an 8x5 and I have him ranked in the top 5 of the board. 35/35 players are rare

Braun can go 1st. He probably won't in most drafts, but I see him as no worse than the 4th overall player.

Definitely a top 5 player.

Miggy, Pujols, Kemp, Braun, and I think you can make a case for Tulo and Bautista (no particular order)

Top 5 in almost all drafts, as high as #1 overall.

Yep. Really wouldn't be surprised if people took him with the #1 pick.

Interesting question. In the first round? early first? Quackman, I hope you didnt think he would go any worse than early first?
I personally have him as the 2nd or 3rd best player behind Cabby and Kemp, and Kemp doesnt have the consistent seasons to make that even a sure bet.
