We will dissect these four guys and talk about where each should be drafted.

Grady Sizemore: I have come around (kind of) on him, I have decided he is a great 6th pick in this draft.  I first wanted Cabrera, but he should not go ahead of Sizemore.  Cabrera can get you 30 more RBIs next year, but Sizemore is a solid 5 category stud.  Later we will discuss goals you need to shoot for “per player” in order to win your league and Sizemore will be above the necessary average for four categories easy (save AVG).

Mark Teixeira: He has the contract, but that will not stop him.  He has a military father and he works out with military precision.  Nothing will stop him from doing what he does which is consistency.  After his rookie year he has never been under: .281 AVG, 30 HR, 105 RBI, 86 Runs.  Those are incredible numbers to be guaranteed so do not be afraid of Tex in the very early second round.

Alfonso Soriano: He is getting the “injury” label applied to him but its not accurate.  He was injured two years ago but last year was not really his fault.  Even with the past two seasons of missing games, have you looked at his stats.  Expect the average in the .280s, HR close to 30, around 90 Runs, 80 RBI, and 20 SB.  That is top 10 fantasy player material.  I am not afraid of Sori in the early second round.  (If you receive the last pick in the first you could do worse than Tex + Sori)

Carlos Lee: Is he a “winning team” ballplayer?  Maybe not…at least that seems to be his tag.  Is he good for your winning team fantasy group?  Yep!  He is a frequent .300/30/100/85ish guy who at one time could get double digit steals.  I am not sure if his steals are done but even if, he is good for a late second rounder.
