@Dani: I like Holliday better than those three guys, but he's a bit of a reach at 20. He's not awful though. I could see it.

@Dani: What do you mean? Should you grab Holliday at 20?

Great thanks. One more Q for you, If I have lets say the 19th/20th picks and not gonna pick again until 40, should I grab Holliday at 35 with other guys like quentin, phillips, manny ranked ahead of him?

@Dani: I'd choose them Holliday, Kemp then Markakis, in that order.

In Yahoo Markakis is 34, Holliday 35, and Kemp 36. If you had to pick one in a 5×5 who would you pick and why?

@gleeksquad: Agreed, I like Kemp a lot this year. Seems like great value for where he's going. @mikey boy324: BJ's a 3rd rounder.

I’m with you on BJ and Kemp. Everyone points to Upton’s 08 but in 07 he went on a few dinger tears before hurting his shoulder. He showed again in the playoffs he is capable. 20 seems right with a +/- around 4ish.
Is it me or is everyone talking about Kemp but the drafts i see he’s still hitting the 4th round. Is it because he’s not all over sportscenter? Lets travel back in time to 2007-2008 off season. Grady had just come off a .277 24/78/38 campaign and played 162 games with no time share whatsoever. Pretty much everyone had grady as a solid 2nd rounder and maybe gambling on 1st for the 30/30 potential right? So Kemp who basically does the same thing 2 years younger with less P/T is going 4th? Is this crazy just to me?

@TBone: Most ranking systems are for 5 x 5 then if you count OBP, etc., you need to bump up or take down your own players' rankings. As for Rios v. Markakis (which could actually make a good post), I think Rios is a slam dunk for more steals and Markakis and him are a push on power, so in 5 x 5 Rios always ends up the dominant male, until Markakis can show more than 30 HR power.
