I guess what i meant to say is based on the scoring categories and how much each one weighed. Hanley is almost a 1a in what leagus I play in. And in a start up dynasty i thought about him for first but decided to go with albert. Hanley is head an shoulders above the rest at his position and can put up great numbers across the board.

That is very true. I love Hanley as much as anyone and in a start-up dynasty league I would heavily consider it as well. I guess great minds think alike.

Maybe I'm off base here, but I feel like Matt Kemp can put up top 5 numbers.  I wouldn't be surprised to see a line like:

.305/105/32/110/25 which if I'm not mistaken would be pushing top 5…

That is a possibility from Kemp, but most people would rather take a stud 2B in chase utley then Kemp in the top 5. Im not sure if Kemp has that much power either and there is always a ton of good OF's. Top 10 I agree with.

What are your projections out of Utley, Steelers0087?

.290/31/98 seems very realistic for this stud 2B!

Mine is:
Albert Pujols (1B)
Hanley Ramirez (SS)
Chase Utley (2B)
Alex Rodriguez (3B)
Ryan Braun MIL (LF)

That seems to be in accordance to the majority of you… Matt Kemp by seasons end should surpass Braun on that list…It's just that Kemp needs another full season or two to prove his worth even further… Kemp can easily reach 40/40 and hit .310. He needs to cut down on the strike-outs and attempt to spray the ball more, which would enable him to generate better overall stats..especially in regards to OBP, but watch his SLG soar to new heights……
