Fantasy Question: The Obvious Choices?

Ask the Staff: Fantasy Questions
Question from: Matt - I am in a 10 team league which keeps 3 players. Parameters are as follows.

You give up the pick from the round the player was originally drafted in. Players can be kept for 3 years Max. Each subsequent year a player is kept, the round you give up rises by 2.

5 X 5 league using OBP and SLG instead of Avg. and HR.

Choices:
1st Tejada
2nd Cabrera
3rd Delgado
4th Harden
5th K-Rod
6th Mauer
7th BJ Ryan
8th Ryan Howard
9th Vernon Wells
12th Weeks and Delmon Young
17th Nick Swisher

The obvious choices seem to be Mauer, Howard and Wells. Just looking for other opinions.

Fantasy Question: Drafting Gordon #1?

Ask the Staff: Fantasy Questions
Question from: Peter - I’m in a 6x6 (5x5 + OPS & Losses) 10 team keeper league (14 players kept). I won the league last year, and this year my keepers are: V. Martinez, Furcal, Dye, Beltran, Crawford, Carlos Lee, Morneau, Webb, Sheets, Felix, Bonderman, Haren, F. Rodriguez, Nathan.

I have also traded for the 1st pick in the draft, and am planning on taking Alex Gordon. I have a hole open at 2B, and really want to pick up Howie Kendrick, but I do not get to pick again until the 12th pick (another part of a previous trade), but I do not think that Kendrick will still be available.

These are the top players available in this years draft:
Gordon
Bailey
Kendrick
Dice-K
Wood
Cain
Hermida
Beckett
Baldelli
Lugo
Glaus

So, am I correct in drafting Gordon #1, or should I trade down and pick up Kendrick & another draft pick? Another question, would you have kept Howie Kendrick over Dan Haren if you were in my shoes?

Thanks for your input.
