Some of the Top Players available will be....
Lowell, Oswalt, Schmidt, Posada, Berkman, Luis Gonzales, Derrek Lee, Glaus, Lowell, Posada, Mulder, KBrown, Hudson, Abreu, Carlos Lee

I have 3 train's of thought
1. I need starters, so take the best 2 available
2. Make the most 5X5 of you picks...Abreu and Derrek Lee...
3. Position scarcity....Posada and Lowell or Glaus


Help a brother out!

I favor pitchers so I would probably take 2 pitchers either of the three Oswalt, Hudson or Schmidt.

[trevisc]

yeah..i'd go after 2 SP

Schmidt and Hudson or
Oswalt and Hudson

[allyg]

i'd def go with two aces..my top two there would def be Schmidt and then close between Hudson and Oswalt. Mulder is just as good as those guys but doesnt k enough batters. You already have some top hitters You dont have to go all on batting, all you need is to plug the holes which you can do later in the draft. Balance wins roto leagues and if you draft two aces, you are well on your way to repeating as champ.

[Cornbread Maxwell]

I agree with the others - go 2 strong SP back to back.

Regarding position scarcity, there are a lot of decent Cs available this yr. The only position I would be concerned with is 2b, and you have that covered.

[CrimeDog]

I'd try to grab Tim Hudson and Bobby Abreu.

[moose]

Thats EXACTLY what I was just going to say.

[J35J]

If it is H2H I would grab 1 pitcher and 1 hitter, if it is ROTO style then I would grab 2 pitchers!.

[jbird669]

depends on the salaries you have allocated for batters and pitchers. I would go with a Pitcher with the first pick, and a scarce position second, the salary depends on who you take

[HOOTIE]

Pick 2 of these 4.

Abreu
Berkman
Hudson
Posada

I probably take both outfielders, or 1 outfielder and Hudson.
