You better get Hamels now because he won't be available later. Choo is coming off an injury plagued terrible year. Lee is not getting younger and his production in a terrible lineup is doomed. Nolasco and Heyward both have upside, with Heyward being the better option. Nolasco is no Cole Hamels. Besides, both Heyward and Nolasco will be available later. @grandysdandy, Im assuming your looking for value here as a potential keeper. You better get Hamels now because he won’t be available later.

In said league, we start 1b, 2b, 3b, ss, of, of, of, util, util. then, at p, we have sp, sp, rp, rp, p, p, p, p. so 8 pitching spots, two of which must be rp. we also have 7 bench slots and 2 dh slots. how many pitchers would you recommend drafting here?

I am at pick 10... and I know you like to punt catcher...but shouldn't Joe Mauer get a boost in a league with OBP? I am very tempted to take him at 10, between him and Lincecum, and wiht his OBP and average so much higher than any other catcher, shouldn't he be a value?

Overall I really like your team. Good starters in the front of your staff, but not crazy about Lowe. He's a'ight, and I'd hold him for now. But be ready to lose him. Your hitting looks great if Reyes comes back as I htink he will. Might even have too much speed with Andrus, Reyes and Roberts. Not sure Roberts was necessary, which makes your team a little light on power. Not terribly so though. @Tom: Way to prospblock on Heyward. Overall I really like your team.
