No...but half of them didn't bother to tweak the autodraft. This was all new to me too - on Sportsline, players are ranked within their positions and then a specific position is drafted every round - weird.
The player rankings were okay but the default draft order by position is SP, RP, LF, CF, RF, C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS. I didn't like that so I re-ordered it to LF,RF,SP, RP, 3B, 1B, 2B, SS, CF, C. I figured that those who want to change the order will probably go after A-Rod at 3B or Pujols at 1B first so I hedged and went for the OF first then cycled back to the other positions with CF and C (the weakest positions) last. Turns out I had the first pick - I could've made a bigger killing if I had known!
My draft:
1 Manny Ramirez (LF BOS)
18 Vladimir Guerrero (RF ANA)
25 Bartolo Colon (SP ANA)
32 Billy Wagner (RP NYM)
49 David Wright (3B NYM)
56 Mark Teixeira (1B TEX)
63 Chase Utley (2B PHI)
80 Michael Young (SS TEX)
87 Coco Crisp (CF BOS)
94 Ivan Rodriguez (C DET)
101 Carlos N. Lee (LF MIL)
118 Magglio Ordonez (RF DET)
125 Jim Thome (1B CHW)
132 Mike Cameron (CF SD)
149 Rich Harden (SP OAK)
156 Andy Pettitte (SP HOU)
163 Curt Schilling (SP BOS)
180 Jon Garland (SP CHW)
187 Armando Benitez (RP SF)
194 Chris Ray (RP BAL)
201 Todd Jones (RP DET)
218 Rod Barajas (C TEX)
