I like it. I LOVE Mark Reynolds in the 5th. The only thing I would change is I would have picked Tex with the 5th pick instead of Braun. I think he'll do better than Braun this year. IMO Pujols, Hanley, ARod, then Tex. In any of my leagues if I don't have a top 3 pick I'm picking Tex.

thanks! I was pretty happy with reynolds falling to the 5th pick. I think tex will hit more hrs but I like that braun has a better avg and steals about 15-20 bases a year.

I can see the steals. Where did Jose Reyes go in your draft? I've been getting him anywhere form the 4th-6th round and I'm happy with that. He will more than make up for steals.

Not 100% but I think he went third round or fourth round.

I also like where you got Beckett and Jurjins.

Thanks. I didn't need more pitching having cc, santana, and greinke, but I couldn't pass up on beckett there.

Yadi in the 22nd is a steal I think he should be the number one catcher statwise defensively

Thanks. I usually don't draft catchers high and was happy yadi was still around then. Although defensive stats don't matter I do agree.

Actually it depends on the league all of them are different stat wise
Yadi has been on a steady increase since day one its like watching grass grow

Crawford as your second pick. Solid!

Thanks

Not bad. I like the Braun / Crawford combo. You're pairing great power with elite speed and good-great average with both and they both are 5-cat contributors.

Then you pair it again with Reynolds / Roberts to a lesser extent.

Molina was a good pick as others said.

I think you're gonig to be streaming shortstops all season though. Escobar has very little power, very little speed, and decent average. I like my starting SS to be at least a 2-cat contributor, not just one.

Greinke in the 4th round. How's that happen?

I really like your bench especially if you make daily moves

Benchexter Fowler (21st Round) Start him at home
Bench: Lastings Milledge (24th Round) good combo of spped and power. Usually does well 2nd half
Bench:Bengie Molina (25th Round) above average powerfor catcher
Bench:Miguel Tejada (26th Round) Nice ballpark to hit in
Bench:Kevin Kouzmanoff (27th Round out of SD. always does better second half

Your SP is also very strong

Yeah. Most shortstops were picked already and SS is the most weak position out there right now. I was pretty happy that I ended up with Braun/Crawford because of how they balance out and was not too happy with the IF, but I do like reynolds.

Yeah I am make daily moves all the time. I really like Fowler and Milledge. As I believe if Milledge plays a full year he will be able to produced good stats. I also think Molina is a very strong backup catcher. And yeah I love my pitching. Could not pass up on some of these guys at such a bargain.
