Assuming Hosmer is gone by #8, and Smoak, Alonso, and Wallace aren't, I'd have to go with Smoak. He seems like the most complete player out of the group. Smoak is a great switch-hitting power-hitter that many compare to Mark Teixeira. Also has Gold Glove caliber D. Also, Wallace isn't called "The Walrus" but some scouts for no reason. The kid has a massive body.
That pic is from last year. He did lose quite a bit of weight because he knew he was going to 3rd. It'll be interesting to see how he does once the regionals start and if they advance...because he had a HORRENDOUS CWS last year. Something like 1-24. I wouldn't be against taking Wallace...but he's about 3 or 4 down on my list. He is in line though to win his 2nd consecutive Triple Crown in the Pac10 this year...a pretty impressive feat IMO. Actually I think his numbers would have been better if Murphy wouldn't have dicked around batting him leadoff for probably the first 15-20 games. He took off after getting moved back to 3.
