Curtis Granderson would be the only other guy I'd consider at 14 that you don't have listed.

Good format for him.

If healthy, Josh Hamilton could be considered.

In all seriousness, if it's one-guy-takes-all, you're not going to compete with the guys near the top of that list without taking a flyer.

Butler's a guy who's a lock to be in the 300 neighborhood, who everyone keeps saying could develop a little more power. His line drivey numbers back that up. Seeing him make a run to 320+ isn't out of the question. Has the added bonus that everyone would probably laugh at you, so if he did pull it off, it would be that much sweeter.

Hunter Pence has been a 300+ guy when healthy, and last year was on 350 pace before dealing with some injury stuff. Another flyer that has a better chance of getting you there than a Konerko type.

HanRam has been up over 350, and if reports out of spring training are even close to accurate, no reason at all to believe he shouldn't return to 300+.

I do like Cargo if he's there, though, from your list.

Draft was yesterday and I had the 14th pick.

I got Ryan Braun and was very happy he fell to me.

Thanks for the input.
