Ruth will import as a hitter, based on 1918. Of course, anything can happen with the draft, particularly with guys who had great first years (see Noodles Hahn being drafted #1 in the inaugural draft). But I would suspect Ruth goes #1, and him, Pujols, Dunn, Hamilton and Teixiera in the same lineup should be incredibly potent pretty quickly. Rusie, Young and Santana should evolve into one of the top staffs in the league. If they don't rebound significantly I'll be stunned.
And I'll be not very happy...
