@Grey:
Well in defense of my SP and CL picks, I’ve been using this strategy where in the first 6 picks I cover 1B,3B,SS, 2 SP, and a closer. believe it or not it has actually been working for me, and anytime i try to deviate from that plan, it actually makes my team worse. And if you wanna get even more specific, I dedicate rounds 3 and 5 to SP (usually gets me a Felix and Wainwright combo), but Youk was still up in Rd.3 and I didn’t want to pass him up.

I looked back and realized Reyes and Jeter were still available in Rd.2. Who would you choose out of those three? (Tulo was taken)

I picked up Carpenter right after you responded to my pitcher post of which three are best, so I knew I made a mistake there.

I would actually use Youk at 3B and Pujols at 1B, so idk if that changes your CI perspective.

I seem to be one of the few fans of Torii. The next 5 OF after him were, McClouth, Pence, Ibanez, Alex Rios and Damon. Ibanez would be the only one I’d consider.

I don’t know what there isn’t too like about Choo. It usually boils down to him, Nelson Cruz, and Abreu at that time, and I usually opt with Cruz, but Choo is better balanced. Would you have chosen another one of those?

Oh and one last comment on the SP. it was Yahoo style more or less, so there were 2 SP spots, 2 RP, and 3 pitcher in general. I like having a strong 1-2 combo, not a strong “1″, then a mediocre Round 7-8 guy. Same for closer, I wanna secure that 35+ saves guy early on. Plus, Broxton, Papelbon, and Rivera had ben taken all ready (in that order)

P.S: I don’t even wanna see how you’d rip up the other mock teams, b/c I projected 1st o_O

P.S.S: ok……maybe I’d like to see

@Eddy: Oh, and if I had to pinpoint an area where you went wrong. Picks 2, 4, 5 and 6. Wainwright's good but there was no reason to follow that with another starter then a closer.

@Eddy: I count about 95 steals, which isn't great, and not a whole lot of power either. Not crazy about your outfield, don't love your CI or MI and your starters leave something to be desired.

Hey Grey, when I leave my top SP to rounds 4 and 5, I have a little difficulty deciding which of these pitchers will go on to have an above average year:

Wainwright
Cliff Lee
Carpenter
Lester
Peavy

What pitchers do you think will produce more?

@Grey: If you beat your fish it’ll die.

Ughh, somewhere down under a Kiwi is frantically searching for his fish…………..
