Helton
Ortiz
Thome
Tex
Delgado
Hafner
Huff
Morneau
Lee
Konerko

Sexson, Sweeney and Giambi being big chance but big reward guys.

wont Ortiz just be eligable at ut. this year. If Sweeney is healthy i would move him up

Aubrey Huff
Derrek Lee
Justin Morneau
Jeff Bagwell
Paul Konerko
Jason Giambi
Sean Casey
Phil Nevin
Shawn Green
Lyle Overbay
Mike Sweeney

No Ortiz, Hafner, Thomas or Durazo as they will only be DHs next year.

It was brought up in another thread that Ortiz played over 30 games at 1B last year. I should have made sure he only qualified at DH myself instead of taking someone else's word for it. Anyway I will slip Ortiz in right after Helton and before Thome

I haven't seen Casey Kotchman mentioned, what does everyone expect from him in the next 1 to 3 years?

.980+ OPS at all three levels.

That looks pretty good to me. Pujols and Helton are definately first and second but from there it gets a little tough. Overall, I think I'm more bullish on Delgado than most fantasy owners. He was a monster in 2003 and the second half of 2004.

I would wait to see where he ends up. If he goes to a good team with a good hitters park, I might rank him as high as #3 for 1B. On the other hand, if he goes to a good pitchers park and/or a team that's not gonna put guys on base, he'll slide down the rankings.

In the interests of full disclosure, Delgado is one of my keepers so I may be biased. But I kept him for a reason.

I expect him to start the year in Salt Lake to tell you the truth. I haven't seen anything to that effect, but I doubt he'll be up until Erstad gets injured. I haven't seen anything to that effect though.
