    Where should Josh Hamilton go in a standard cat league?
    AVG, SB, RBI, R, HR, OPS

    I notice his O-rank is 25, and rotochamp has him around 30 I think. Not sure why he's so low. I have 5th pick in the draft... if he's available round 2, pick 16 overall, should I snag him?

    Keeper league, keep 5. This is the first year.

    I assume you're using Yahoo? I actually have an article coming out on Hamilton soon, either today or tomorrow. Don't really want to spoil it for you.

    Great read DM, as always. beLeafing for what its worth I have him ranked 8th going into this year. I'm convinced he will rake in that lineup!

    Great breakdown, thanks. I checked it out.

    I've gotta say that I think his alcoholism/drug abuse doesn't really worry me from a fantasy standpoint.

    I think if I can I'll snag him 2nd round, about 16th overall.

    That's a lot of risk you're taking on for the second round. However, Hamilton has the tendency to be smoking hot during the first half, and cooling off during the second, so food for thought if you ended up drafting him (to trade him closer to the all-star break)

    Exactly. I'm also worried about Anaheim's reputation for not having a hitter friendly park.
