In the sense of having a flexible bench I would agree that that is true. But other than building a well-rounded bench, injuries are impossible to account for on draft day and I think it is a mistake to adjust the value of the UT spot because of injuries that might happen. I think I'd much prefer Hafner manning my UT spot than having the extra flexibility to reorganize my starting lineup.
Maine has a good swing for a pitcher but on anything that moves, he has no chance. And if it's a fastball, it has to be up in the zone. Basically, the pitcher has to hit his bat. - Mike Pelfrey
For a healthy team it is overrated. For an injury riddled team, flexibility is a must.
Depends on league setup... with no MI or CI and only one Util spot, flexibility is important. Otherwise during the draft, you have to pick based on filling needs instead of value... or plan to trade, where you'll probably not get fair value either (since everyone would know your situation).

Seems much better than the previous one, but what struck me as odd was that several good players went undrafted - Brian Roberts, Barry Bonds, etc., and some that were descent but normally part of squads, such as Orlando Cabrera and such.
Just a quick note to let all of our cafe friends know that we are running our final expert draft of the season later on tonight -- a 15-teamer that will be available for everyone to watch live.
We have 15 of the top experts lined up from: FantasyBaseball.com, Insider Baseball, Fantasy Sports Magazine, Sportsblurb, Fanball, Rotowire, Rotoworld, Yahoo, Sporting News, Baseball HQ, Sports Illustrated, KFFL, Talented Mr. Roto, Creative Sports -- that will be drafting live and taking your questions and comments through e-mail and instant messanger.
As always, I'll post the results here for all of you to study, but I hope to see some of you at the draft.
