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 .

here's what my latest team looks like.
