Who's #2? (1 Viewer)

If you could select one player, based on their overall fantasy value -- based on their overall fantasy ability, ignoring categories -- and you could not select A-Rod who would you take?

I don't know how you can rate overall fantasy ability while ignoring categories, but I voted for Wright anyway. Legitimate five category contributor with lower risk than Hanley Ramirez.I can see why there will be debate over this, which is why I'd rather not draft out of that slot this year.

The reason I put in the "ignoring categories" part is because I just wanted to generalize the question. CBS is claiming that there are almost as many H2H and Points Based leagues as 5x5. I'm in a points based league myself, though its not H2H. I agree with you about drafting in the 2 spot, there is good value to be had for a lot of the first round.

I liked it more two months ago when David Wright was routinely being picked up in the 4-7 range, he's been #2 on my board all along.

He definitely seems to be the "it" player around fantasy boards lately.

I don't trust him, between the shoulder surgery and the loss of Cabrera (not to mention the huge park) I just cant see spending a #2 on him.

Holliday is the safe choice.

Not really.

Between Ben Grieve and Todd Van Poppel for me really.

Voted Grieve

I'd say it is either Wright or Utley. Since I got Utley in my auction, I vote Utley.

Not really.

Depends on format, I suppose.

I assumed 5x5.
