First one is Health of 64 though, #2 is Health of 78. Not really considering the reliever, but sure do love the splits.

Working off limited info, I think #1 is a no-brainer. How old are each and what’s your scouting budgets.

Agreed. 100 ctrl, 95 vR, 90 P1, etc with a great DUR/STA combo. I second strikeout's question though, because seeing multiple 100 projections always sticks out to me as something that could be off with a lower budget.

All 18 year olds in High School, where my scouting budget is $20 million. Lower health doesn't scare anyone?

IMO the difference between 64 health and 78 health is negligible. Just had a season in which my first round SP with 76 health had season-ending elbow surgery. And we've all had players with 90+ health have crushing injuries.
The only thing I'd say for sure is that if a player has health below 40 he's going to be a multiple-major-injury guy. Other than that, it's luck.

The health is not a deal breaker. #1 for sure.

I never look at health unless its under double digits. Maybe I am the wrong one to ask. I run 20/20 in med and training.

If #1 had a health of 5, I still pick him over #2.

#3 over #2 also, honestly. I actually think #3 may be the best pitcher per inning, but he's a true RP (not one of the Rollie Fingers style guys) so the extra innings from #1 make him the pick.

Well, my other likely pick (I have back-to-back picks) is a 2nd baseman.

I’m definitely taking the #1 pitcher over the hitter.

But the hitter over the other two pitchers?

No, I’m taking all 3 pitchers over the hitter personally.

IMO that hitter is just an average fielding 2B and while his splits are high his other batting ratings aren't great. Higher batting average, lower OPS. He's not special.

I think he ultimately ends up being a left-fielder.

Wow, OK, that helps. There's also a super-stud Catcher, with great hitting and fielding, but a durability low enough to limit him to 300 or so AB.
