Interesting notes: I had fully planned on drafting Ian Stewart at 3b and had prepared to reach in round 10 or 11 to grab him but he was taken in round 9 in this league. Not realizing Chris Davis's lack of 3b eligibility in my league I accidentally snagged him only to realize I couldn't play him at third, hence the late DeRosa/Fox picks.
Pitching went real early and I had to snag Burnett in rd. 9 otherwise I'd have been real thin. While I still am pretty shaky here it could work out well if Kazmir and Dice K work out.
Other notable misses, guys who went early in my eyes who I was targeting:
Scott Baker Rd 8
Ian Stewart Rd 9
Soto Rd 9
De La Rosa Rd 9
Jay Bruce Rd 10
Jonathan Sanchez Rd 10
Heyward Rd 11
Gavin Floyd Rd 12
Slowey Rd 14
Phil Hughes Rd 16
Well, even with those curve balls I think you have a solid hitting team. Great outfield, really solid infield. Well done there. Your pitching's a bit of a mess. You might struggle in WHIP really bad and you could have some explosions on your staff. They're also the kind of guys with some upside, so you could be fine. It's risky, either way.
