Best fantasy baseball players to draft?

I'm thinking about doing ESPN fantasy baseball for the first time ever this year. I signed up for fantasy basketball for the first time ever and I LOVE it! I'm in 2nd place in one of my two leagues (about to catch first place soon), the other league I'm in first. I'm wondering which players (by position) will be the best to draft for fantasy baseball please? Thank you. Oh and what do you look for in a player when it comes to drafting? The ability to be very well rounded via hits, home runs, batting average, good defense, and RBI? Please let me know - thanks.

    defense is pretty much irrelevent when it comes to fantasy baseball. but during the first few rounds, you would look for ideal players that can do everything or you can pick players that excel at one or two thing. it all depends on your preference.

    C- Martinez, McCann, or Mauer 1B- Pujols, Morneau, Miguel Cabrera or Tex 2B- Pedroia, Kinsler or Utley (take them quickly because of the fact they're going to be long gone rapid) SS- somebody from NL East or Jeter 3B- Youkilis or Longoria OF- Braun, Ibanez or Crawford (for stolen bases) SP- Greinke, Licecum, Halladay, Santana, Sabathia, Peavy, Verlander or Haren RP- ok-Rod, absolutely everyone from NL West, Papelbon or absolutely everyone from AL East (aside from TB closers)
