Fantasy Baseball question.....who would you keep?

WeekendHacker

If you were joining a new fantasy baseball league and you had the first pick of the new franchises, which of these players would you take:

Jermaine Dye @ $15
Alex Rios @ $9
Erik Bedard @ $4
CC Sabathia @ $8

These are what I believe to be the top 4 available players; I can pick only 1

League demographics:
AL Only - 12 teams
Salary $260
5 X 5 league
Keeper league (x3 years), the above players came off a franchise that quit.

Sabathia

I'm not super crazy about anyone in that bunch, but I'd probably go for Rios.

I'd take Sabathia, but Bedard might be a good sleeper pick at only $4. He did win 15 games last year and had 171 K's

Sabathia.

Bedard may or may not pan out.

Rios without a doubt, Dye had a career year laat year. Rios was on his way to putting up some great #'s but got a nasty staph infection in his leg and missed a lot of time due to it, he has a very nice blend of speed and power.

Rios would be my 1st choice. Bedard learned the circle-change last yr and became extremely tough. Decent value for $4.

It's a tough call between Sabathia and Rios, especially for those dollar values. I'm probably going to go with Sabathia, but still on the fence. Bedard would be 3rd and not that Dye is lousy, but I think I'd get more bang for my buck with the other 3 - especially in a keeper league. Thanks to all who replied!!!!

Afterall, this is fantasy.

Bedard is due to break out and win 20.
