Good luck in your draft, OE.  It is a tough spot, the fourth spot.  You get one pick, and then you have to wait quite a long time for the follow up pick.

Personally, I would probably look to pick up Teixeira if he is available and then follow up with a pitcher like Peavy (if he is still available).  Then, your next pick is coming soon after, and you can try for a good all around guy (with SB)... if a guy like Jason Bay is available here (and I highly doubt it) snag him immediately.  Otherwise, maybe you could get lucky with a David Wright?

Last year in my serpentine draft league, I had second pick, and I took Vlad.  On the way around, I picked up Jason Schmidt. :(  Lesson: just go with your gut.  You're going to make mistakes.

Good potential sleepers off the top of my head (or people who will be forgotten) who I think will click this year: Jeremy Hermida, Mike Jacobs, Matt Holliday, Clint Barmes, Austin Kearns, Magglio Ordonez.  I think you could also look to get Oliver Perez in the very late rounds (I think he is going to rebound strongly this year).  Mike Gonzalez is an excellent closer choice, in my humble opinion, who is likely to be forgotten.
