I know there are alot of player similar on both teams, but hey, they were drafted by the same person.

So, what do you think?

you won't get any pts for Piazza throwing out base runners

Good cause that's not a stat category.  Its all about what he does with a bat.

uhh...nevermind, I don't wanna know what he does with a bat.

By the way, i think both of your teams look good. I give you a B+.

[Denver_Bronco]

 What is the format? How many teams?

[Sunstroke]

What size are the leagues? Are they h2h or roto? Saber, traditional or 5x5 scoring?

I like these squads...but can't really rate them without knowing the league size/set-up.

[Brian Fein]

Team 1 is a 5x5 setup but its 8x7.  We're crazy like that.  10 team league, 24 man rosters.

Team 2 is a H2H setup, 8 teams, 30 man rosters.  This draft was insanely easy.

[Denver_Bronco]

Yikes, team 2 is lacking the longball dude. Crawford & Castillo should swipe a nice amount of bases though. Todd Jones should be dropped.

Other than you're not playing our TDMMC league  ...I like Your line ups.

[Brian Fein]

Todd Jones is on the borderline.  For a H2H scoring league, I need the longball, you're right.  More bases = more points.  I went with the speed lineup, then realized that SB = 1 pt.  I can only hope to get alot of 2B's and 3B's out of them.... 

Castillo is likely my backup, since I can still use Soriano at 2B

I'm not in the TDMMC league cause I had already committed to these 2 leagues, and I can't handle 3.  Football, yes, I just don't watch enough baseball.

I'll add this one up here, for two reasons...first, it is my last draft of this season, and second...I just love this roster<g>. It's an 8 team, 5x5 h2h. I stream starters and went with offense (obviously) with my first 8 picks (and 12 of first 15). I do like a lot of the mid-late rd pitchers, but this was mainly due to a lot of offensive guys I like dropping well below where I value them.

"Around the Horn of Plenty" roster...with draft slot in parentheses:

C: Victor Martinez (52)
1B: Mark Teixeira (4), Ryan Howard (45)
2B: Ricky Weeks (100), Ryan Freel (157)
SS: Jose Reyes (29), Felipe Lopez (93)
3B: Eric Chavez (61)
OF: Carl Crawford (13), Bobby Abreu (20), Adam Dunn (36), Ken Griffey jr (109), Pat Burrell (116), Curtis Granderson (164), Willy Tavares (173)

SP: Randy Johnson (77), Doug Davis (148), Daniel Cabrera (180), Matt Cain (189), F. Liriano (196)
RP: Eric Gagne (68), Derrick Turnbow (84), Jose Valverde (125), M. Gonzalez (132), R. Dempster (141)
