Drafted last night....

[CyCarp]

Alright, 6x6 (H, RBI, HR, R, SB, AVG / IP, W, S, ERA, K, WHIP) 12 team auction keeper league (was 10 team last year, so a lot of the top guys not kept, were taken by the 2 incoming teams who had first dibs this year). The rookies are a separate roster (and was a separate draft) who can be called up the beginning of each year for $1, or after the draft for $15. Overall I'm happy considering it is a fairly deep league, but not thrilled. After everyone keepers, Berkman was the 2nd best power bat out there (behind Pujols who was overpaid last year and not kept this year) which I needed. The only reason I have Barton is because he was on my rookie roster last year and only cost $1 to keep. My 1 sleeper is Crosby, hoping he can get rid of the injury bug. I only drafted Carpenter because there was nothing out there for pichers, and getting him for $1, 1. I have time to look more into what pitchers to pick for him when I put him on the DL, and 2. Keep him for $1 next year. I got stuck with Feliz at the bottom of the 3rd baseman barrel, as 3rd basemen were in demand and greatly overpaid, but at least he gives me some power. But overall, I think I have a decent combination of power and speed (a little worried about AVG and hits) of offense, with a solid rotation.
