If you had to draft today. Who would you pick ahead of (1 Viewer)

I'd still draft a few of the 1B's above him. That's a position with a real clear cut top tier that can produce monster #'s, then a massive dropoff in either #'s or certainty. You need one of those guys, or you may as well pack it in.
I'd still draft Santana before him.
I'd still draft the top 2 SS's above him (though I'm beginning to doubt Rollins a little), because SS is legitimately super scarce, while people undervalue what a deep position 2B is.
I'd still draft Wright ahead of him.
I think I'd still draft Braun ahead of him, just for the potential for truly massive numbers.
And I think that's about it. I'd rate him end of the first-type material. Naturally, I expect him to cool down. If he finishes the year .480/50/50, I'll probably go ahead and bump him up.

You have Rollins as a top 2 SS?

No. That's an aside about the #3, who like everyone else I had slotted clearly above Kinsler entering the season. Now, a lot less certain, not only because Kinsler is on a tear, but because Rollins looks like Hal Lanier.

Buying high on Bonifacio after a hot start is a bad idea. He's terrible.Changing projections in light of new info is not. So if you're still buying into David Ortiz when he can't catch up to 90mph heat, you're waiting too long.For a guy like Kinsler, you go in projecting him for .280/22/23 or whatever, and you never in a million years suspect he'll have an April like this. Now, if he proves to produce at that pace the rest of the way, by the time you factor in his start, he's a .300/30/30 guy. A hot start with no real reason to see fluke...or a cold one with obvious holes...is plenty of reason to inch a guy's value up or down a bit. With Ian, it's not like we're talking about moving him from the WW to the first round. Guy was already a 2nd rounder or so. Saying we may have underbid a bit is hardly hitting the panic button.

I'd still draft Utley over him.

At the 10 slot this was my dilemma. After 2 hours I went Utley.

Same dilemma at 2.01 (13th pick). After 2 seconds, I went Kinsler.

Kinsler had some big months last year too. His best was probably June27 G 362/419/672 26 R 6 HR 16 RBI 5 SBHis start is obviously a step up from that, but it's not like this is foregin territory for him.

A sports hernia is a non-repeating injury. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

Yahoo has him 15th overall. Players I had ranked above Kinsler that I would below him now
J Roll
Hamilton
Soriano
Lincecum
So he'd move from 16 to 12, possibly 11 depending on Sizemore's busted wing. I think the Indians are repeating last season's Victor Martinez mistake with him, but I'd reserve dropping him until I know for sure.
That said, I'm not sure why you're bumping this now, Kinsler's 245/327/490 16 R 6 HR 15 RBI 3 SB May line is below what Kinsler owners expected. The improved BB:K is reason to believe a correction is due, but his struggles vs. righties are concerning.

anytime this guy wants to get his head out of his ###, that would be great
