Taking a pitcher #2 put you at such a disadvantage on offense, I beat you in all five offensive categories. Now go get your shinebox!

just stating the truth for the good folk(s) who read these comments:

1) picking santana #2 last year proved to be a smart choice BUT A-Rod would have been a better choice.

2) #2 this year is a tough call but you got to be careful who you write off. Holliday isn't flawless but his 2007 value was slightly higher than Hanley (whom you considered) and I think he's a better bet to repeat. Peavy was #1 in Player Rater last year and is as excellent a bet for top 5 2008 rating as Santana was in 2007.

3) your victory last year had many factors but getting Peavy in the 3rd round was #1. (holliday in 4th round and picking up ryan braun were other top factors)

The only thing wrong with my Santana pick was that I didn’t factor in that A-Rod would blow up during a contract year. Santana was the 4th most valuable player last year…

Count your lucky stars w/ last year’s win. You played well and overcame some injuries but you would’ve been fucked if your pal didn’t bypass Peavy by drafting Carpenter and Webb.

Personally, I don't like Holliday inability to lay off a high fastball, but I did draft him last year in the league I beat you in, so obviously I like him.

I would never take a pitcher number #2, like you took Santana last year at number #2 and lost to me.

Pujols is an option, fer sure.

I think there’s three other players I’d consider: Matt Holliday, Jake Peavy, and Johan Santana.

As of today, I’m debating b/w Holliday, Peavy, and Pujols.

While I like Wright, Hanley and Reyes, I think they have too much of their value tied up in SBs - too much risk they go down to 20, 30 and 50 SBs, respectively, to use a 2nd pick on them.

Holliday in Coors w/ a solid lineup is a great bet for top 10 average and RBI. Peavy is the best best among starters with Santana and Webb a rung lower. Pujols is so bankable but his surrounding lineup is worrisome…

i’d give you my Razzball #1 but it’s still too early to know who’ll be getting enough ABs to put up the bad stats…
