Napoli, Craig, Zobrist, Zimm, Gordon, BJ Upton, Bruce, Tex, Strasburg and Gallardo. I like Fowler but I'm pretty sure I can redraft him next year.
Other options are: Alexei Ramirez, Melky Cabrera, Dexter Fowler, Greg Holland, Daniel Hudson, Vinnie Pestano and Phil Hughes
I'd rank them as follows:
Strasburg -- No-brainer here. He's a top-flight starter.
Bruce -- Three straight seasons of 30-plus homers and entering age-26 season.
Zimmerman -- Struggles to stay healthy, but hits for avg. and power at premium position.
Teixeira -- A virtual lock for 30+ homers, 90+ runs and 100+ RBIs
Zobrist -- Expect some decline in his numbers (especially SBs), but still a great option with eligibility at 2B, SS and OF.
Gallardo -- It's all about the Ks with this guy. He's going to rack up around 200 with a 3.50 ERA and a decent number of wins.
B.J. Upton -- At least 18 homers and 31 steals in each of the past three seasons. The change of scenery might be good for him.
Craig -- Multi-position eligibility and great production. Can't ask for much more.
Gordon -- The definition of all-around contributor. Jack of all trades. Master of none.
