1st pick in the draft?

Re: 1st pick in the draft?

Sori will be a good choice, not so much with Posada. The first pick and you're going with Posada? I'd suggest Vlad/Sori. I feel like Vlad is going to have a great year. Not sure about Pujols though. The whole EA curse makes me think twice about drafting him first. Also, Pedro would be an excellent pick.

Re: 1st pick in the draft?

In any draft, you have to take the absolute best player available with your first pick.

Then, after that if you want to jump on either Soriano or Pudge or somebody go ahead, but be sure to watch what everyone is doing. You might be able to wait another round.

As far as pitching staffs go, sure the Cubs have a great staff, but I think there are others that are so close, the Cubs staff is not a priority. There's always Boston, Florida, Philly, Houston and one that a lot of people might be overlooking is Anaheim, especially when you look at the lineup and figure that that new owner will spend to improve SS before he lets Eckstein play another season like he did last year.
