First 4: 1B M-Cab, SS Reyes, SP Peavy, SP Lincecum. Those are basically no-brainers... the elite of the elite in your lineup. The bats are a plus power hitter who gets average, and an amazing basestealer at a thin position. Those pitchers soak up all 4 SP cats (W, K, ERA, WHIP), and are indispensible.
Remaining: OF Quentin, OF Beltran, OF Crawford, 2B Alexei Ramirez, and 1B Derrek Lee. Lee is gone; you've already got M-Cab. Alexei is lower-tier than some of these names, but you have to consider that he's a solid value at another thin position. Beltran stands out the most - some inconsistency, but overall very solid. I'd pass on Quentin, he's not established enough yet and he's got the injury thing going.
Your 6th pick basically comes down to Ramirez or Crawford. Crawford is the upside pick... higher ceiling, and with Reyes/Crawford you dominate SB. However, he's struggled recently... and you already have an OF on your roster. One who does swipe a few bags. I'm tempted to put Ramirez in there, even though he's a much lower value player from a purely objective standpoint.
So:
SS Reyes
1B M-Cab
SP Peavy
SP Lincecum
OF Beltran
2B Ramirez (or possibly OF Crawford)
You'll do well. Nice work assembling a team. If you can, trade your extra guys for higher draft picks next year.
