Taking bonus demands and signability out of the mix while including this year's international talent (ex: Chapman, Iglesias, Mateo, etc.), what would your top 10 look like based on talent alone?  I've included my shoddy attempt below.

In my recent prospect draft, I struggled between who to select, Holland or Matusz.  I thought that Matusz had the higher floor (#2 or #3) but thought Holland had the higher ceiling (potential #1).

Before the draft I had Matusz higher on my board but went with Holland, choosing what I believed to be greater upside over a safer, more solid career.

You are on the clock.  Who do you select?  Who will have the better major league career?

I'm posting for those that may have drafts coming up and want to get a feel for how other drafts played out.  Regarding my league, it's a 10 team keeper in it's 5th year.  5x5 roto scoring, 20 major league keepers, 30 major league roster spots.   Prospects don't count towards the keeper list with the drafting team owning their rights until 300 Major League IP or 1200 Major League ABs.   12 round draft.  The draft pool is essentially those who signed deals in '08 ('08 Draftees, International, Japan, etc.) and some undrafted breakout players (ex: Holland and Carlos Santana were available, Morrison and Stanton were drafted last year). 

I've included the top 50 picks.  Although you are welcome to comment (on good and bad picks) it's intended more for those with upcoming drafts.  Enjoy!
