Here are some of the players that I thought were ranked pretty low based on last years stats/injuries that everyone might be able to get pretty late in the draft, thats if you're not playing in a league with people who base their picks on rankings.
Let me know what you think about these players and if i missed any important ones. Thanks guys!

Oswalt and Morris I for sure will try to grab late... Are Percival and Hoffman healthy?

Burnitz seems to be a nice steal, but what round do you take him at?

Ensburg seems to be a nice grab at the 3B position if you miss out on Chavez or Rolen which I personally dont really want to waste a pick on early. Is Ensburg better than Blaylock fantasy wise? Also, where does Lowell rate with them at 3rd?

Are meyers,nathan,milton,beckett worth grabbing in a 12 man points league late? How would you guys rate these 4?

What do you guy think?

Q1: Are Percival and Hoffman healthy?

Yes, both are healthy entering the season. Monitor spring training to make sure their pitches are up to snuff.

Q2: Burnitz seems to be a nice steal, but what round do you take him at?

Anywhere after the 15th in a 12-team league.

Q3: Is Ensberg better than Blalock fantasy wise? Also, where does Lowell rate with them at 3rd?

Blalock, then Lowell, then Ensberg. Once Ensberg can hit against ambidextrous pitchers, I'd take him before Lowell, but still behind Blalock.

Q4: Are myers,nathan,milton,beckett worth grabbing in a 12 man points league late? How would you guys rate these 4?

I'd take Beckett after the 7-8th round, but he'll be gone before then. Joe Nathan is definitely worth getting, because he'll get a look as a closer in ST, I believe. Milton I'd only take in an NL-only league. Brett Myers has good stuff, and I might take him after the 20th round in a mixed league.
