.. Theres definetly going to be new faces on the 3B list for the 07 draft.
Chipper is having a pretty good season despite a few injuries. I will put him on my fantasy team any day. The Braves can hit, they just can't pitch outside of Mr. Smoltz and Mr. Wickman.
Mora has been OK.
Atkins is shaping up to be an unappreciated fantasy player.
Huff and Beltre many people had reservations about.
And of course the A-Choke has disappointed anyone who picked him 1st or 2nd overall.
And as someone noted, you had missed some serious talent like Rolen, Aram, MCab, Figgins, Wright etc.

I have them both as well. But for what they cost in the beginning of the year, they have been leading the charge in the 2nd half. They are spearheading me going into the playoffs. Both have been beasts since the Break. Since the end of June, I do not know anyone who has racked more than ARam, with the possible exception of Howard.
You guys may think I'm crazy but Nick Punto has really helped my team. I got him in a trade early in the season and he has saved my butt. He qualifies all over the infield is hitting over .300 , scores runs and steals bases. He doesn't have power we all like to see at corner but he adds the other things. Plus he's only $1.00 so I was able to plug him in at third base when I traded Mora to get a starting pitcher.He might not be an option in mixed leagues .
