The first 3 guys are all studs. I wouldn't even consider #4 to be in the conversation. What do the fielding ratings look like for #2? If he has the ratings of a legit SS, it's him in a heartbeat, no question. Make sure he's a righty thrower also.

ss has a 72 -range ,83 glove and 79 arm and throws right

Unless you really really need a SS for the future I would go for the pitcher hands down.

With his other ratings, the combination of 51 stamina and 87 durability is really valuable (and it's probably reflected in his overall rating).  You could get 300 innings at a 2.50 ERA out of that guy.  He could go 4 innings every other game.  What's his health rating?

But it comes down to the SS (well, 3B with those fielding ratings) and the pitcher.  If the pitcher has a health rating over 60, I'm going with him, but I'd feel a lot better about him if it were in the 90s.

The first guy looks to me a monster with the bat. Depending on his eye, he might be worth the risk just in case he decides to sign.

If you don't want to risk it, I agree it comes down to the SS/3B or the long relief pitcher. I think this could be a judgment call, depending on what sort of prospects you currently have in the system (i.e., do you have better bat or arm prospects already down on the farm).

One other thing with the pitcher is that the particular combo of Dur/Sta is very rare, so I'm curious what his current ratings are to better judge whether he actually could reach those projections. Health could play a role too, as mhulshult mentioned.

batting eye?  if the 3B is 0 and the OF is 100, it would be a major difference.

that P is great, though.

This is why I never post potential ratings. It gives away too much to the other owners.
