Default Dammit! I got the 5th overall pick

I'm looking for some suggestions here. I got the 5th pick in a H2H league (only 10 teams this year... ugh!).

With the top 4 going to Wright, Reyes, Hanley, and Pujols (not in that order), and the next 5 a step down (at least, IMHO), who would be the best choice?

Grady Sizemore (30/30 player) or Ryan Braun. If you want to stay in the infield, go with Miguel Cabrera (first and third eligibility)

Snag A-rod on your 2nd turn as he's been going between 9 and 16 in most mock drafts, this is his good year of the every other year cycle.... I'm sure he'll still belt 50 even with the time off and the roid issue

Are you serious DJP? I've always gone with the motto "Only go with sure things" in the first couple of rounds, and A-Rod is sure to miss at least a few weeks, it could be a month!

...of course, I am open to new ideas.

As long as he doesn't miss two months or more, I think A-rod is worth it.

Ya know, I was thinking about this today. The guy picking #3 in the draft insists on picking a power hitter with his first pick, and the guy picking #4 is a Mets hating Yankee fan. I might be lucky enough to have Reyes fill that really thin SS position for me!
