Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

SIM League Draft thoughts?

Drafts are coming up in June in my sim leagues...

In one I have the 5th, 7th, and 8th picks in round 1...

I'm guessing from talking with other GM's that the 1st 4 will be:
Noah Lowry(was overlooked)
Gustavo Chacin
Adam Miller(not sure with injury)
Huston Street

From the following who would you target for my 3 picks and if any of the 4 above slip through would you take them instead....

Kyle Davies
Brandon McCarthy
Brian McCann
Daric Barton
Billy Butler
Thomas Diamond
Yhency Brazoban
Chris Nelson
Jon Papelbon
Dustin Pedroia
Jon Lester
Ryan Sweeney
Reid Brignac
Jorge Cantu
Ruben Gotay
Howie Kendrick
Gio Gonzalez
Phil Hughes
Hayden Penn
Anthony Reyes
JD Martin
Francis Liriano
Willy Taveras
Ryan Sweeney
any College players

There are a ton more available but I tried to highlight the top 20 or so available.  I also have the 12th and 13th pick in the 1st round.

Thanks for the thoughts and any ideas...I think I know who I want but thought I'd get opinions from a group I trust.

My first three picks would be...
Anthony Reyes, Kyle Davies, Alex Gordon (from college)

In those three, you have the best combination of upside along with the abilty to contribute relatively soon.  McCarthy is also in that category, but I personally prefer Reyes and Davies over him.

One more name...
Matt Cain is a guy I'd put at the very top of any list (did anyone catch his line from last night?!?!?)....but I didn't see him available in your list.

ill take either...
Billy Butler, Chris Nelson, and either Kyle Davies or Thomas Diamond. (Just from the guys in the list above, I guess this might change if I think hard enough. McCann or George Kottaras would be interesting risks as catching prospects)
Julian de Lavalle
