Jeff Clement should improve, and see at-bats at DH. I'd go with him.

2nd - LInd
3rd - Saltalamacchia

that is a good choice , although i hate to pick a catcher this early, but his potential is enormous.....will he be starting?
thats the key....

u think lind then is a good second choice for my bench?

the only offensive position i need right now is catcher..
just wasnt sure if i should go catcher, or improve my bench...go with a hold guy, another closer or another starter...

I think Lind is a great choice at that point. He can combine a good batting average with power stats.

Ken Griffey may spend some time at DH as well as left field, but Clement has a better bat than Johjima so should spend more time behind the dish and get consistent at-bats.

Salty carries more risk, because Texas has a ton of good young catchers, but he along with Clement have good chance to break out if given the opportunity. A risk for him is better than a guaranteed lousy producer like Navarro.

It's a tossup between Clement and Lind. Late in the draft aim for young players with upside

Francouer and Buehrle are iffy.

Shoppach, going to catch, with VMart at 1B
Sanchez
Lind
Cust, you need RF help

so cust you think...will he better better than griffey...i ove grif...but he is injured a lot and this might be one of his last yrs....do i grab him..or is cust a bust...

shoppach , i had him last yr...i actually had clemenyt and shoppach last year and kept shopachh as he was decent all yr round...but will he be the starting cartcher...

clement will be good eventually but will he start this yar

i agree that buehrle was risky along with francoer...just thought that francouer might break out and would be a good sleeper

lind....just dont know that much of him...suprisingly so...but everyone seems to mention hi

sanchez....he might be a good choice if he lasts till my next pick

still undecided
help!!
have until early tommorow morning to pick
