.. you play RT or not. However, with the PB season starting about 40 games after the start of regular season, there is a real chance that one of those 'marginal' players could have real value ( see Guillen). I am surprised to see a 27 yr old SP, and a 31 yr old SP characterized as 'older players' But, once again that's why I made post.

As to the comparative value of # 1 Rookies Vs # 1 FAs, I always value a # 1 rookie higher. YOu will never get a Pujols, Prior, Tejera et al in a FA pick. Plus the return of a # 2 FA pick could, with the random selection of FA picks mean the difference between the # 1, and the # 2 is only three slots.

Thanks to all for commenting. It's nice to get the temperature of the PB on things like this
