I did my first FLB draft of the year last night...a little 8-team 5x5 roto league, mainly just to see where certain players were falling. I made a mistake when I mentioned it to Fau earlier...I told him I got Dontrelle in rd 11...and it was actually Buehrle I drafted there. Here's the team I drafted (draft slot in parentheses):

Crush, Blaze & Hurl

Manny Ramirez (4)
Miguel Cabrera (13)
Alfonso Soriano (20)
Jimmy Rollins (29)
Brad Lidge (36)
Carlos Delgado (45)
Rich Harden (52)
B.J. Ryan (61)
Morgan Ensberg (68)
Melvin Mora (77)
Mark Buehrle (84)
Julio Lugo (93)
Adrian Beltre (100)
A.J. Burnett (109)
Bobby Jenks (116)
Chris Ray (125)
Geoff Jenkins (132)
Torii Hunter (141)
Clint Barmes (148)

My son has a baseball practice tonight and being as I am coaching....I will not be around for the live draft. I hope you guys have fun and I can not wait to see which scrubs I get!!!!!

Stroke - I may not be able to make it.  Will you draft my squad for me?  Just give me the best available versus need if I can't make it?

Not quite sure how I'd draft your team for you in the same java applet that I'm drafting in. I don't have any doubts that I could handle drafting two independent teams in the same draft, but I'm not sure how it could be pulled off in that applet. Any ideas?

If I did draft for you, I'd want a small blurb from ya with some players, mid-round and late-round types that you might have an interest in, as well as any personal preferences toward general draft strategies that you might have.

Looks like I will be getting all the good players. I will be there tonight

My Quick thoughts on the draft.....
Well,only 4.5 of us could make it to the draft....It kind of changed the way I drafted.

I said I really wanted to target a 6 players that I thought I'd do ok with....
yeah my Signiture gives 3 of them away. I almost pulled it a few days before the draft,to make it a litte less obvious..yeah right.

The Yahoo rankings kind of surprised me when I checked them the other night,after looking at afew different Baseball drafts I had looked at.

Every Player I put in the Que,kept getting taken...So I quit putting players in Que.

I felt my Major Knowledge weakness was Relief pitching,Secondbase,and Shortstop.
I Thought about a few guys that I'd be happy with...Chase Utley,Jorge Cantu, Felipe Lopez,Khalil Greene,and perhaps a well named closer Joe Nathan,Francisco Rodriguez,B. Lidge.After it wa all said and done I got none of those guys,some I forgot,or felt a bigger need somewhere else.

I got D.Lee,couldn't pass up Tejada in round 2...Look Here it comes back....I'll take Chase Utley...YES!YES!...Come On Baby...He's Qued and ready to go...Strokes turn...He takes Chase Utley....now's it my turn....

The Auto draft feature kind of scared me a little,some of the guy's I thought would be there for a round.The auto draft suddenly decided to fill that postition for 3 of the people who weren't there.All the sudden 3 pitchers/2ndbasemen/outfielders would get autodrafted exposing the guy that i wanted in the nextround...So I made a few panic picks....So I have some pretty sad outfielders.

After the draft I got the majority of the 6 guy's I really wanted.D.Lee,A.Ramirez,C.Zambrano,M. Buehrle or J.Garland,Missed Chased Utley,and a well known closer B. Wagner,J. Isringhausen.

So Even if I endup in dead last...I'm tickled pink with my team...I'm as happy as a Little girl...(Bad SNL skit reference).

Well, I had alot of fun at the draft...good luck this season to everyone.

Opps...I forgot to mention this...a few hours after the draft...I looked over the guy's a I drafted based on last years numbers...alot of 300 hitters,with around 20-25 HR's..and a bunch of No base stealing Mofo's....

I didn't make the draft, but I'm still going to kick all of your asses.

Two Words - BIG UNIT:


Get the hell out of my face!!!!

Apparently we have quite a few owners in this league who think they can win no matter what players are on their roster...it's the only explanation for half the league missing the draft. I knew Maine couldn't make it, but what was up with the rest of ya?

No worries...I appreciated getting some of the deals I got.  Adrian Beltre in round 19 was particularly tasty!
