Personally, I think I got steals in Garcia, Hairston JR, Isringhausen, Kaz, and Burrell. Also, I took miguel batista way too early, and you probably think im crazy going Hank-Aubrey in rounds 7-8 but they are personal favorites of mine, and Hank is a friend of my best friends so its kind of cool because I know him. Sort of.

[OHRIOLES]

Why didnt you pick a-rod? He is the best player in baseball.

Must be a brave fan

just wondering.........but why did you pick people in the DL? you are not sure if they will come back as consistent as they were.......for a 3B i would rather have rolen, because you have blalock already. izzi in the DL? why?

[CBMGreatOne]

You might want to check out the waiver wire and pick up Nick Johnson. I drafted him in the 21st round in my league and if he comes back like he started he could be a terriffic value at 1B or Util.

I am a Braves fan I personally dont like A-Rod because I am also a Mariners fan. That, and I love Sheff.

Anyway, great call on Nick. I forgot about him. I just dropped Paul Byrd for him, I dont know what I was thinking when i drafted him (since hes probably out for the year and all..).

The reason I picked people on the DL is because most people forgot about them even though they have only minor injuries. For example, Ray Durham is already playing again, and playing well. Getting him in the 10th round is great. Hairston JR has a broken foot but all accounts say its not too bad, so he will be great for runs and SBs. Sasaki is back closing for the Ms already. Finally, Izzy is a hit or miss pick, either he recovers and pitches well or not, either way no big deal as I have 2 other closers.

your pitching is a bit shaky because u only got one or maybe two aces. i would trade for some better pitching and this should fix it.
