Who are your top 10 players for next year's draft? Here are mine (I may be missing a few players...this is off the top of my head):

1. A-Rod - Stock just went up with Damon signed, RBI total could go even higher, although SB's may drop

2. Pujols

3. Vlad - I think too much of a health risk to take # 1 or 2

4. Tejada

5. Manny - depends where he lands...

6. Texiera - keeps getting better and better and better

7. Soriano - Could be lower if he loses 2B eligibility

8. Santana - will continue to dominate

9. Cabrera - great keeper

10. Crawford - I think he could hit 20 - 25 HR to go with 50+ SB

IMO, just missing: Ortiz (losing Damon/Manny will hurt), Carpenter, Ichiro, Abreu, Sheffield

??? I find nothing wrong with putting Teix that high. He's a solid player.

I can't see myself risking a first round pick on a player with that many health problems.

Craig Biggio is a solid player. Doesn't mean he's a "top sixer".

Please.

Who do you put in front of him? He's very young, hit over 40 HR's last year, is in a hitter-friendly ballpark and a stacked lineup.

Yeah,

Derek Lee and Michael Young should be in the top 10 over Soriano and Crawford, but Crawford is probably 11th.

Re: Let\'s Talk Fantasy Baseball
 

1. Pujols
2. A-Rod
3. Vlad
4. Santana
5. Lee
6. Crawford
7. David Wright
8. Teixeira
9. Abreu
10. Jason Bay

Soriano and Cabrera would have been on my list at the beginning of the offseason, but both have been hit by negative environmental changes.
