i would also add Richie Sexson to the list, a while back i saw a post about how nasty that shoulder injury he had can be, so with the supposed severity of it, he is certainly on the list.
Not from the standpoint that you use a first or second round pick on him, but rather plopping down an 8th or 9th round pick and get absolutely NO production if he has leg problems, or you could have the league leader in steals.
It has got to be RJ. He'll cost you a 1st round pick and if he pitches like last year, he will be the fantasy MVP. Problem is that he is a 41 year old with a bad knee.
Any pitcher drafted in the first two rounds. Not only are you disadvantaged offensively because you miss out on some serious offensive firepower, but also you miss out on statlines which are almost impossible to replace.

Anyone that is suckered into J.D. Drew should be ashamed. I'd be shocked if he plays 100 games.
This is why guys like Gonzalez and Drew are such steals on draft day
Healthy, they're your #1 outfielder - and Gonzalez is 100% in terms of hitting, from everything I've seen, and is in a much improved lineup. So why not take a chance with him as your #3? As for Drew, yeah health is a concern but he's gonna be a steal too, I mean Dodger Stadium wasn't much worse than Turner Field last year, and now they've added 8,000 seats on the field - mark Drew down as a sleeper as well.
I guess those 2 will be my high risk/high reward guys although I don't see the risk with Gonzo.
