actually i meant to put tulo in ur "good hitters list". Weeks should be good too. but cory hart i think will be one of those guys who has one decent year then gets picked ealry and is a bust.
this has been my strategy, take hitters early and address pitching late.
i take verlander in the 5th because the value is so good there, then i wait to try to grab some of these guys post round 10:
starters: rich hill , tim lincecum , francisco liriano , matt cain , john maine , chad billingsly , oliver perez , pedro martinez , clay bucholtz , andam wainwright , phil hughes , ian kennedy , joba chamberlain , yovani gallardo , zack greinke , matt garza .
relievers: raphael soriano, manny corpas , matt capps , joakim soria , kevin gregg , chad cordero , george sherrill , cj wilson .
i think my sb's are covered by weeks, sizemore, rios, tulo will steal more, hart will add 20, and i have theriot to play 2b-ss-util to add some more. i could add one later.
i got hart in the 7th round. i would have liked to add josh hamilton but someone beat me to him in the 13th. i think hart is solid and a good pick in the 7th.
you could go markakis in the 5th, hart in the 7th and francour in the 8th and have a nice outfield this year.
