Where is everyone going on Yoenis Cespedes?

Seen a few clips of his ABs, and although he's yet to be officially named the starting CF, it's next to impossible to not play him at this point.
He's crushing the ball. Bob Melvin said they wanted to bring him along slowly, but it was virtually impossible because he was smashing the ball. Dan Plesac compared him to Bo Jackson (I'm guessing moreso because he looks like a Linebacker and can mash).
In short, I'm pretty keen on his ability. Where would you go for him in the draft? How early is too early? Where's a good spot to "reach" on him?

Oakland manager Bob Melvin said Monday that highly touted rookie Yoenis Cespedes will open the regular season as the team's center fielder, the San Jose Mercury News reports.
I'd say anywhere after the 6th round would be an acceptable spot if you want to make sure you get him.

I believe Melvin came out yesterday saying that he is going to start from day 1.
As for the draft, I have no fricking clue what to make of him or where I would feel comfortable taking him right now.

He's unproven against any sort of real competition at the deepest position in fantasy baseball that is even deeper than usual this year. Tons of other guys id rather pick before Yoenis.

This has something to do with it but its not like he went in the first round of the draft, he went 6th so i doubt anyone would have kept him.
Oh yea and its a 12 person league

It helps make sense why he went 164

Do you think there is much of a difference than if we didn't have keepers? Everyone in the league passed him up 5 times. I doubt if we did a redraft it would be much different. Maybe im missing something.

Think somewhere from 160-180 for a keeper league & 200+ for a redraft. I'm expecting 15-20 HR & around 10SB this year. It'll take him a year+ to adjust.

you're welcome

Too risky for my liking... especially playing in Oakland. I don't think the reward is high enough for me to take him anywhere before the 8th round.

I like his speed and power potential

He's going at 194 in TDBL, but I suspect that he would have been kept by someone if he was on a roster already.
