I think Wang is being slept on. (No bad jokes intended). I would put him up in the early twenties area. While he doesn't strike out a ton of guys, his win totals w/ the Yanks should easily make up for it.

I like the 'corrections' you've made with #1 through the high teens... Though, I think you need to do some minor reshuffling with the 20 to 30 range. In my above post I think Wang should be higher and guys like Arroyo, Cain & Bedard should be a few notches lower.

I agr, it is slim pickings. Good nws is that so many young guys in middl groups - I think 5 mor acs will arriv by 2008.

5 more ACS? Noooooo!

Also, I can't believe we all neglected Dontrel Willis. He should definitely be on there, imo.

You are absolutely right. I don't know what was worse, my brainfart not putting him on there originally, or 25 posts before someone caught it. Thanks.

Honestly, it took me reading through the Sporting News expert mock to catch it.

I guess those things are useful for something after all.

Let's take a look at the recent expert draft
http://fantasy.sportingnews.com/basebal ... /1_12.html
http://fantasy.sportingnews.com/basebal ... 13_23.html

Everybody talks about Anthony Reyes from ST.L being in the top 40. He went #272 overall with the experts. 5th from last in round 23 of a 12 team league.

Of course this draft was a little funny anyways. Seems they served the beer first, then drafted. But the list is decent for comparison.

2. C.Carpenter
3. R.Oswalt
4. R.Halladay
EDIT - B.Webb fits here, though I don't feel like renumbering.

6. B.Myers
7. C.Hamels
