id go with Utley, Teixera, Halladay, and Peavy

Halladay and Peavy are for sure. Halladay will be solid and I think Peavy gets traded and gets more wins with an ERA and WHIP a little higher (not pitching at PETCO). I\'d go with Haren and Tex actually because it seems like given your top point producers speed is a big factor and there\'s no shortage of speed at second base. Its real tough to give up Chase but Tex could have 140 RBI\'s in that lineup.

To me it is between Tex and Haren.

Utley will be fine come May 1st and since it is a keeper league, he is a no brainer.

Peavy and Halladay are slightly better than Haren.

I am high on Tex but a couple of things are going against him. The Yankee and A-Rod circus is going to have an effect. How much?, I don\'t know but since I live in NY, I know how much day in day out coverage this well get and it is bound to have an impact. He is also going to a non-hitters friendly park. I don\'t think tha new Yankee stadium is going to be a killer but it is no Arlington or Atlanta. Tex did hit incredible with Anaheim last year, however.

Not knowing your categories but looking at your top 10 point getters for 2008, it seems that Tex is the guy left out here. If I knew the categories, I might make an argument for Haren.

I\'d drop Haren as well. Go with Utley, Teix, Peavy Halladay.

I like teixeria\'s odds of performing well with the NY lineup.

I\'d go with the consensus - Utley, Teix, Peavy, Halladay. I personally think Haren is in the same class as Peavy, more so perhaps. But Haren is still relatively undervalued, and can probably get him back in your 2nd round of the draft if you really wanted him. I\'d be perfectly fine if Haren was my #1 starter (meaning I\'d rather draft offense first)
