Just drafted...sucks though because it was an auction draft and half of the guys got autodrafted. Good thing for me was that my team is pretty solid.

Looking at yours Scotty, did you pick #2? I figure you picked 1, 2 or 3 after landing Hanley.

I'm real soft in the OF, but I'm hoping to dumpster dive as the season shakes out.

6th, actually. In an auction draft you can purchase any player at any time, as long as you have the funds. Shelled out $51(out of $240) for him.

As for your team I would definitely start Logan Morrison. I drafted him on my other two teams as I think he is going to surprise a lot of people. Your 1B will depend on how they do over a full season, though Moreland has been raking in Spring Training.

Looks good, although I hope you are not starting Pablo over Pedro.

i feel they are pretty even. pablo is expected to put up some nice numbers after dropping the 30-40 pounds.

Pedro is nearly a lock for 30 HRs, and has been working hard on his plate discipline this spring....I can see Pablo putting together 09-esque numbers with a sub .300 BA [.285-.290 low 20's HR 80-85 RBI]

You really can't go wrong with either though, as you mentioned.

Francisco will open the season on the DL, and who knows how long he'll be there. League should be able to fill in the RP slot as he'll open as the closer, but you'll be missing out on the P slot for points until Francisco comes back or you pick up another pitcher.

We drafted March 20 before the Morrow injury was announced, not that it's serious.

My team started off as mess with mediocre keepers, so my strategy was to draft high-ceiling players, because I'm going to need all of that to be competive. Just for a taste of the top teams, our league champion has CarGo, Votto, Tulo, and Longo.
