After last year's interview with Matthew Berry, I have a feeling they wouldn't accept. Below are links to recent Tout Wars and LABR results (two of the more high exposure 'expert' leagues) that we're still trying to worm our way into. Based on what I've seen, Jason Grey is really good. Nate Ravitz had a good year last year. Matthew Berry and Eric Karabell are question marks.

It's hard to say exactly why. I know there's a historical assumption that 2B/SS is something to draft early b/c of scarcity even though 25 HR guys like Uggla and Stewart can be had several rounds later. I think 3B always has more depth than people think. Guys like Chipper, Cantu, Beltre, etc. bring some more risk and are less sexy picks but can still put up solid stats. @<a href="#comment-121857" rel="nofollow">Pugsly</a>: Um, thanks? The point isn't that every hitter is overvalued - the point is trying to find bargains so you're getting the most of your draft. Sorry you can't find any value in this post... @<a href="#comment-121895" rel="nofollow">GTS</a>: haven't updated since the injury. @<a href="#comment-121900" rel="nofollow">herschel</a>: My gut says Tulo but my head's overruling it after seeing the Point Shares. Sandoval is valued similarly to Tulo and an 8th round pick is more valuable than an 18th round pick. @<a href="#comment-121908" rel="nofollow">boom boom bynum</a>: Yes on Braun vs. A-Rod. Gonz/Zimmerman would be a solid 2nd/3rd round. Wait on 2B... @<a href="#comment-121885" rel="nofollow">incognithole</a>: That would be a tough position. I'd take Lincecum. J-Upside and Crawford would work okay too. @Jo: Makes some sense. It’s hard to say exactly why.

@GTS: haven’t updated since the injury.

If I take Braun with the third pick, would A-Gonz (2) and Zimmerman (3) be reasonable? Then wait for 2B (Stewart)? So Rudy, are you saying you value Braun higher than A-Rod as pick #3.

Who would you rather keep, Tulo in round 8 or Sandoval at round 18 (Kemp in round 11 is my other keeper).

I dont want kinsler/lincecum/mauer for the reasons mentioned on this site and sizemore is a little bit of a risk for early 2nd rd. Ideally Id like to land a 3B or kemp/holliday at #15, but if i dont get them id be inclined to take J-upside....who would you take and why? Thanks again....is there a limit on comments/posts by commenters? @Rudy Gamble: Final question about my upcoming draft and thanks again for your help and time.

You have listed just about every single top 50 player as overvalued. Clearly you guys are running out of topics to write about.
