In a draft, it is advised to take Pujols with the first pick. An argument can be made for going with Hanley Ramirez due to position scarcity, but Pujols is the safer pick and will outproduce Ramirez. In an auction, be willing to pay face value for him. As long as you don't significantly overpay, he will be worth every dollar you spend. In any league, he is the type of guy you build your team around. .320-115-40-120-10 in 560 AB

Positives / Upside	Pujols will be amongst the league leaders in average, runs, homeruns, and RBI. In fact, he finished in the top three in the National League in each of those four categories in 2009. His ability to post double digit steals makes him that much more valuable. With Matt Holliday in the line-up for a full season in 2010, Pujols could even have a career year. .335-120-45-130-15 in 570 AB
Negatives / Downside	The Cards' line-up is good, but not great, which will prevent his RBI and run totals from truly shooting through the roof. I guess he could steal more bases. .300-100-35-110-5 in 540 AB
Recommendation	Go the extra dollar
Draft Position	1
