Tragically Flip are:
9th Pick: Chase Utley (Tragically Hip?)
16th Pick: Ryan Howard (another .250 will kill me - but I thought he'd fallen far enough)
33rd Pick: B.J. Upton (I'm expecting more power but got him for the steals)
40th Pick: Francisco Liriano (can't stand picking SPs early so I waited for the 2009 Cy Young winner)
57th Pick: Joey Votto (five Ohio guys in this league so let the trade talk begin - I like him though)
64th Pick: Joakim Soria (third reliever to go but I like him #1 and didn't want to wait much longer)
81st Pick: Chad "Break a Leg" Billingsley (see above: C-Bill is a Defiance, Ohio native)
88th Pick: Stephen Drew (panicking already?)
105th Pick: Lastings Milledge (crazy man-love for this guy)
112th Pick: Howie Kendrick (kept thinking about Howard hitting .250 and sought to offset this some)
136th Pick: Chris Iannetta (a reach - I like him - but could have waited a few rounds for a decent C)
153rd Pick: Aaron Harang (expecting a better season)
160th Pick: Adam Jones (it's all about the upside)
177th Pick: Delmon Young (it's all about the upside)
184th Pick: Brandon Morrow (it's all about the upside)
201st Pick: Manny Parra (panick pick as my computer froze for a minute)
208th Pick: Brandon Lyon (tried to hold out even longer for another closer)
225th Pick: Ubaldo Jimenez (thought he fell too far)
232nd Pick: Kevin Gregg (best player available at this point)
249th Pick: Casey Kotchman (meh)
256th Pick: Kevin Kouzmanoff (meh - but waited many rounds after most had filled 3B/corner slots)
273rd Pick: Daniel Murphy - a sleeper steal this late IMHO
280th Pick: Emmanuel Burriss - we'll see
297th Pick: Travis Snider - (virtually no risk - potentially big reward)
Nice breakdown. You took Liriano 40th overall? I like him, but that's real early. Kendrick's going to offset the nice mood you have before you look at your team. You started picking risky upside guys a bit too early... Like from the Milledge pick on. It's a solid team if all your question marks turn out on the positive side.
