Choose up sides. How about using Yankee and Met players?

Try it.  Maybe your team against a traditional rival, geographic or otherwise.  I'll try it here between the Yankees and Mets but just to encourage others to give it a try.  Having first pick could be crucial.

It could be done for just the upcoming season or for projected success for the next few years.  Use whatever criteria you like, including fan favorites.  You don't need to be a jerk like Billy Beane trading Josh Donaldson, his best player.

I'll try it this way: pitchers and non-pitchers separately.  It could also be done among all players.

Note: this should not be confused with:

All city: New York 1947-1957 summary.  Thursday, June 19, 2014

I'll project for the next three to five seasons but not consider money and I'll ignore the DH.  Picks alternate between sides.  OK, here we go.  Picks follow display of data: Yankees first, then Mets.

That's about it.  Beyond that it's just silly.  Of the top three on each side, the Mets have four of six with David Wright the number one overall pick.

Pitchers will include those returning from injury who may not be listed among the stats:

OK, don't kill me for the picks.  It's the idea that counts.  If I were picking among all players, I'd probably pick Matt Harvey number one.  I could have put Betances higher but I didn't think of him in time.
