Lets redo the 2005 first round draft

[matty07]

Since its arguably the greatest draft class ever. I thought it would be cool to do the first round over again.

I would still put Justin Upton as the #1 pick

 

[thefasterblade]

#2 Ryan Braun

 

[Yankees1218]

Buster Posey

I'm really excited about Upton's potential, but I don't know how anyone could possibly put him in front of Braun at this point in time.

Where's Jeff Clement? It's rough looking at this and being an M's fan.

How quickly everyone forgets how good Ryan Zimmerman is when he's been sidelined by an injury for much of early this year... Gold Glove 3b, hits for average and power, drives in runs. I beleive there was a web site that made a case for him being MVP-worthy last year when you use advanced metrics to look at his fielding and hitting. Problem is, he plays for a ****** team. But I think he slots in at No. 4 behind Upton, Braun and Tulowitzki, and ahead of McCutcheon...

And what about Jeff Clement?

Braun and Tulo go ahead of Upton. When you look at production and the fact that both guys have been instrumental in getting their teams into playoffs, it's not really close.

Honestly, does this thread even get started if Upton wasn't mashing right at this moment?

Thanked.

Apparently you can miss a few weeks due to injury and a Gold Glover/Silver Slugger at a very difficult position can drop off the map!
