thanks.

The best of the group is Mark Teixeria. I really like Bedard but he has yet to prove that he can stay healthy for a whole year. Hunter might start to regress now that he's getting a little older and has a new fat contract locked up.

Probably not top 20.

Tex probably goes somewhere between 30-40.

Yeah, Teixeira is definitely the best bet out of those 3, however, 1B is a relatively deep position in fantasy baseball compared to the other IF positions and I see at least 4 guys who could be ranked ahead of him (Pujols, Howard, Fielder, Morneau). I usually like to wait a little longer and snag a guy like Adrian Gonzalez or Derrek Lee, and use a 1st or 2nd round pick on an elite pitcher or elite IF.

As for Torii Hunter, he's way way down there. If you like him, you can get him much later in the draft. There's easily a dozen OF's who will go before him.
