I'm in a standard yahoo 5x5 mixed rotisserrie league (see below).

I'm drafting #5 in a snake draft. I'm trying to determine my strategy on which positions/players to pick in the first two rounds.

I'm expecting that the first four picks will be Cabrera, Kemp, Pujols, and Braun.

So, my next thought is who should I take at pick #5. If I follow Grey's rankings, I would take Bautista. However, Grey also said to try to take a 1B in the 2nd round if you take Bautista. With this in mind, I'll have pick #20 for my 2nd pick. At that point, I expect at least the top 5 first baseman will be gone (Cabrera, Pujols, Votto, Gonzalez, Fielder). This would leave me with Texieria. I like Tex -- but I'm not sure about the potential BA ~ .265 or less if I draft both.

Thoughts? Thanks in advance for your help.

Roster Positions: C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, OF, OF, OF, Util, Util, SP, SP, RP, RP, P, P, P, P, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN, DL, DL
Batters Stat Categories: Runs (R), Home Runs (HR), Runs Batted In (RBI), Stolen Bases (SB), Batting Average (AVG)
Pitchers Stat Categories: Wins (W), Saves (SV), Strikeouts (K), Earned Run Average (ERA), (Walks + Hits)/ Innings Pitched (WHIP)

If you want me to look at your team, post the team. Don't post a link to another site where the team is.
Have you given me all the info I need to judge your team? The number of teams in the league is a good start for the big overall questions.
Is your league H2H? Roto?
I don't know who's on your waivers. Don't just ask me who you should pick up. Give me names to choose from.
If you only have one team, post your team in your signature with the league parameters.
I don't know every single matchup for next week, so if you want me to choose a player for the following week and you think the matchups are important, tell me who they're facing.

Grey, I read the pairings article and it says to take a 3B in the 2nd round if you take Bautista in the first. The best available 3B will most likely be Tex -- would you pair him with Bautista?

Begrudgingly, I'd take him...

That's my concern as well. With this in mind, should I be thinking Votto instead of Bautista in round 1 (or Tulo?)?

Votto over Tulo... Could go with Votto... As I say in the rankings, they're in the same tier...
