The depth drop off at SS and 2B his huge this year and I was wondering if this consitutes either one of them being a #1 pick if so which one???

To put simply no, they're value defenitely increases due to position scarcity but I'd still take Pujols, Vlad, and Beltran over them.

agreed. later in the first after a rod pujols vlad and beltran. I have seen tejada go 5th a bunch of times this year, and sori a bit after him.

Value wise...I don't think Soriano is a first round pick at all...his numbers should be more worth a mid to late second round...Tejada is rightfully considered a mid to late first round pick... :-)

But as to taking either one of them first over-all....I wouldn't...more value will be gotten from Pujols, Vlad, A-Rod or Beltran.... :-)

no posistion scarcity IMO isnt that big of a deal to me in the first rounds, pujols, vlad, arod, and beltran should all be picked ahead of those guys for sure especially soriano who i think is an early second rounders, Tejada though IMO is worthy of being drafted at the number 5 spot though

No, take Pujols. And, SS is actually rather deep this year. Lots of good starters to be had.

SS is _much better_ in depth this year. If there is a "weak position",
it's at 2B in all leagues and C in the NL-Only.

i don't think i'd take either of them before the 2nd round.

I would have no problem taking Tejada in the middle of the 1st and Soriano at the end of the 1st. :-)

I'd go with Soriano. Both of these guys play in little parks with big lineups. But Soriano runs. And I'm suspicious of Tejada's bulk. He could be juiced-- a real drag for a first round pick if it turns out that way. Up the middle this year, I'm looking for speed. Jimmy Rollins kinda guy.

I'd go for pitchers first. Santana. Johnson. Schmidt.

Then I'm drafting parks and lineups-- Rangers, Orioles, Todd Helton. You can't drug a stadium.
