Let's Draft my Team

[Santana4Cy]

10 team, 5x5 roto league. I had the 5th pick, and so far we are 2 rounds deep. I took Daisuke Matsuzaka with my 1st pick, and Rich Harden with my 2nd pick. My pitching staff was a mess last year, and I think those two will combine with Cain and Soria to provide a decent start to the staff.

1B - Carlos Pena

Alright, my next pick is in 7 selections.

Here is what the top 20 players available (according to the CBS rankings) look like:

Carlos Marmol
Cliff Lee
Bobby Jenks
Kerry Wood
Aubrey Huff
Garrett Atkins
Carlos Delgado
Ryan Ludwick
Vernon Wells
B.J. Ryan
Torii Hunter
Carlos Zambrano
Johnny Damon
Jose Valverde
Jermaine Dye
Brian Fuentes
Pat Burrell
Chris B. Young
Huston Street
Carlos Pena
Francisco Cordero

How would you rank these players, and are there any others that you would be interested in?

Grab Atkins and plug him in at first. No way he should still be hanging around this late.

And did you just take Dice-K and Harden above Cliff Lee?

[Santana4Cy]

Since the post, Carlos Zambrano, Carlos Delgado, Ryan Ludwick and Garrett Atkins have been taken.

So, I'm thinking Cliff Lee is the pick if he makes it back to me. If not, Huff?

[HOOTIE]

Pena
Fuentes
Valverde
Lee

Delgado is in for a big year, he really turned it on in the 2nd half last season.

I'd try to grab him at 1st but you may be able to wait considering most people probably have a 1B already. For now I'd sure up your pitching with either Lee or a closer.

[Santana4Cy]

There goes Yovani Gallardo. One more pick before me.

It'll either be Cliff Lee or Jose Valverde. There are still plenty of 1B out there (Delgado, Huff, Cantu has 1B eligibility, Loney, Jacobs). I think I can wait on one.

[Santana4Cy]

Andre Ethier went, so the pick was Cliff Lee. I like the pitching staff now.

Dont want to be mean.....but why would you ask the cafe for advice and then just choose the player you wanted anyways. All the people that spent time to reply you did not even listen to them.

I would have filled your infield. OF is deep and there is better pitchers than lee later in the draft

[Santana4Cy]

You think I'm going to find a reigning AL Cy Young winner later in the draft?
