Also, Santana will be gone earlier, and Abreu should not be taken in the first round...You'll probably be left with the choice of Soriano or Prior (a great late first round pick) or maybe even Beltre if you think he'll repeat last year (although I don't, but some would argue that)

lol, there's more than plenty of chance that helton will be available at the 9th pick. I'd take Abreu ahead of helton anyday. Prior in the 1st round is insanity just because you'll be easily be able to get him in the 2nd round if you wanted to. There will be guys like Bonds, Manny, crawford available. Just take the best player. If I were you, I'd plan on something like Manny/Crawford, or Helton/Manny, Manny/Bonds.

Kelly Gruber wrote:Bonds will have an average similar to Helton's with fewer AB's so it will not effect it as much, will get the same amount of HR's (I know around 45 has been Bonds norm, but he is getting older and is recovering from injury)..........pretty much the same power numbers, with Helton slightly better in terms of RBI's and possibly runs.
