So why does YOUR roster have 2 "C's" (and co-ownership of Matt Kemp?) A little cut/paste no editing????

And why does your roster have no catchers? =)

I drafted from the third spot last year and went with Hanley. That didn't work out so well, so let's hope that Tulo maintains his stellar peak this year.

Looking at my team last year...

Felix round 1- he was good, not great
Prince round 2- outstanding
Bruce round 3 - .256-32hr-8sb... little disappointing
B Phillips round 4- .300-18-14, very good
Oswalt round 5- disappointing
Sandoval round 6- .315-23-70 in 114 games, probably about right
Rivera round 7- awesome

Sizemore round 8 - ugh
Morrow round 9 - 179 IP, 200+ Ks, good WHIP, bad ERA, overall pretty OK
Colvin round 10 - shoot me now
H Matsui round 11 - apparently this was a bad range for outfielders

Erick Aybar round 12 - .279, 30 SB, 10 HR, I think that's a nice pick here
F Gutierrez round 13 - yes I really did assemble an all-time bad outfield
Mike Aviles round 14 - didn't really work out

RA Dickey round 15 - 200 IP, 3.28 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, 130 Ks, outstanding
Brandon League round 16 - yeah baby
Chris Sale round 17 - only 8 saves, but good Ks

Lorenzo Cain round 18 - outfielders again, yeesh
Russell Martin round 19 - worked out pretty well
Joaquin Benoit round 20 - didn't get saves but solid ratios

Randy Wells round 21 - 4.99 ERA and lots of injuries
Russell Branyan round 22- not good either

I just went back and looked at my draft last year and it was AWFUL. By far my best pick was Allen Craig in the second reserve round. Getting Hanrahan in the 14th was good too. All the other closers were drafted by the 11th round.

Yeah very busy here at work. We had a layoff on Friday and still sorting through the mess. Lost 11 people out of my group and my best buddy here at work.

Passed balls aren't a roto stat?????

Thanks Pete. Yeah I was nervous since my former parent company (CSC) put on the list twice before. Guess someone likes me here now. Weird was my manager of 3 baselines I am tech lead over got cut. His best friend whom he got a job here 4 years ago took over his work. Saw him over the weekend and I was told I am safe. They want me to take over the total lead job when our guru retires in about 5 years. Nice to hear.

Getting Hanrahan in the 14th was good too.

One of my worst moves was guessing wrong on the PIT closer situation and taking Meek instead of Hanrahan when both were on the board.

Not that it made any difference on my team but thanks. I really want to do better this year. I usually like to be cute about it and try to draft all left handed starters. I think one year I managed to get 9 left handed pitchers with a few closers. Yup, 2009;

Hamels,Cole
Kazmir,Scott
Fuentes,Brian
Kershaw,Clayton
Rodriguez,Wandy
Buehrle,Mark
Sherrill,George
Miller,Andrew
Grabow,John

Yeah, you wish Kershaw was your SP4 this year! But If you want to recreate it with Kazmir as SP2, I encourage you. I promise I won't draft him.

Technically Kershaw was SP3 as Fuentes was my top closer, but I still don't see that happening. I think I'll pass on Kazmir, thanks. It looks like I even managed to have only lefties all year long and I finished 5th overall.
