... I've drafted two real leagues now, and I'm amazed at the depth at OF. It is ridiculous. I got Winn with the 271st pick and Cameron with the 330th pick! (yes, there were more than 330 picks in this draft) And one guy in our league has 5 OFs on his bench as extras. Every pick I would look at the board and see tons of good OFs and have to tell my self to lay off and look elsewhere. That is why I took Kinsler over Braun. |

... catchers are 14.28% of hitter`s scoring in the hurler league as opposed to other formats where it is 11.1% or less. combined with position scarcity, this greatly increases catcher values. spike is proud to have wieters and doumit who will seriously outperform many other pairs in the league. |

... The draft was very difficult. I agree with Sandon that the depth in t he OF is crazy if you can take a little risk. I wanted a solid IF with upside in my OF. Got a little burned at C, but I'll attribute that to sticker shock. Almost took Ianetta in the 8th round, then I slapped myself into reality and ended up with Ramon Hernandez. Very competitive draft. |

... Holliday has averaged 115/32/113/16/.330. That's 5x5 money, cash. Even if his power falls off like last year, I'd hardly call him a risk, especially at #33. ARod is obviously a risk, but he missed a month last year and put up 104/35/103/18/.302. More cash money! I'll take that in the fourth round. Everyone is worried about Lincecum. Will he fall off. Will he breakdown. What if he gets better? How 'bout them apples! |

... One more vote for the "difficult draft" narrative. Having the #1 pick (poor me) seemed to take me out of my comfort zone. Nobody dropped to me and/or I had a plan and utterly failed to follow it. Plus, it's really difficult to me at either end of the snake and the 23 player wait until your next pick. As a result, I ended up with six closers, Orlando Hudson starting at 2B and Casey Blake starting at CI. It doesn't get much worse than that. Kudos to everybody for doing such a great job drafting and I look forward to a challenging and exciting year. And BTW, if anybody needs a closer... |

... Lugnuts -- Individually, none of those picks throw up a red flag. Holliday in the third is more than reasonable, and even though I hate taking pitchers too early, as their health can be unreliable (see: Cole Hamels), Lincecum has given his owners no reason to be worried. It only looks daring when you consider all three of them -- workhorse pitcher in second round; new-park Holliday in third; busted-up A-Rod in fourth -- are on the same team! |

... Hi everybody. I'm working late tonight but I'll put some thoughts up later when I get home. In the meanwhile, in case anybody is interested, here's a spreadsheet with the draft results. (There are two worksheets... look for the tabs at the bottom.) http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=ppTYgvZbbY01lcPCrqaZUUQ&hl=en |

... Damn... I practically commented a novel but I forgot the damn captcha code. It's all gone... I'll write something up again later. Anyway, the spreadsheet is updated and finished. If you're not in the league but want to see the draft results, then take a look: http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=ppTYgvZbbY01lcPCrqaZUUQ |

... Lincecum is a risk. Suffers from rocket arm syndrome. Has to keep his arm in constant motion Pitching 98 mph bullets helps, but insufficient. And it's getting worse. Expect about 400 innings this year. |

... well , your QOS team certainly should have some upside. ON THE BENCH, THAT IS. Eleven OFs with only 6 spots to use them , only 8 of 9 pitchers and 1 of 2 catchers. better start trading and hoping all that OF depth generally doesn`t cost you much when you swap. |

... I just wrote a novel on my draft which disappeared me I posted it. I guess it will remain an unpublished classic. |
