#1 clearly has the better projecteds, but I'm worried about that low makeup.. #2 seems like a more sure bet to be a good pitcher, but #1 could be a superstar.. will #1 gain enough to justify taking him over #2? Or should I play it safer and go with #2 instead? Sorry, I'm still relatively new and couldn't find many examples of a SP with that low of a makeup rating. Perhaps that's telling enough.

Superstar may be a reach, but he could be very solid. Where are you drafting at? I'd go with #1 if you aren't in a rebuild where you need a surefire player, and I'd take a chance.

I have the 5th pick. And I should have said all-star.

14 mil is good but could leave some margin for error.  Id focus on current ratings and make-up.  43 make up wont make for good development or injury recovery.

I wouldn't say #1 is going to be an all-star but he will give you a lot of quality innings and he's better than #2

I wouldn't be very happy with either at #5. Are you debating them for #5 on your board? If so, you'll get somebody higher on your board.

But that said, #1 over #2.
