John Lackey pitched three scoreless innings

I'd make sure no catchers were in my first 200 slots, then I'd put pitchers later than they would normally go. Make sure you have a great offense then you can figure out pitching afterwards. Take a few pitchers you know will go later that you like and move them up. For instance, if you like Hamels, like I do, then put him in the 50s knowing that it will be before anyone else takes him. But mostly go for hitting in the first 150. Then load 150-250 with pitchers that you like. Unfortunately, no matter what you do your team's going to be a little wonky because you won't be there. @mrbaseball: Sucks to not make a draft, especially in a league that big.

I don't know if people are just worried about him because they might platoon him if he struggles against lefties, or what.

I'm in a 12 team H2H league with 4 keepers and I'm not keeping an OF. So, I have to hope Granderson or someone great falls to me in the middle of the 5th round. My thinking is that while I will miss out on a top OF I can go for 2 number 2 OFs and get another outfielder in the 110-125 pick range. @Peter, I hear your pain.

Yes, the first year off of TJ surgery. Saito was never used in high leverage situations for the BoSox last year, so I'm not entirely sold that he's going to be anything close to the guy he was for the Dodgers a few years back. He is the heir apparent to close if Wags gets hurt, but Bobby Cox is a huge proponent of overworking his bullpen. If the Braves have a lead going into the 7th and the SP is around 100 pitches, expect to see Moylan, Saito, then Wags 95% of the time. Use that information however you will, but that scares me a little bit. I’d worry about Moylan because he entered 87 games last year. Yes, the first year off of TJ surgery.
