first time I've played fantasy baseball in like 3 years. I think my team is pretty good.
C - Piazza
1B - Richie Sexon & Conor Jackson
2B - Dan Uggla & Julio Lugo
SS - Julio Lugo & Felipe Lopez
3B - David Wright & Alex Gordon (got Gordon in the last round)
OF- Grady Sizemore, Jason Bay, JD Drew & Coco Crisp
SP- Roy Halladay, Brandon Webb, Ervin Santana, Josh Beckett & Rich Harden
RP- K-Rod, Papelbon & Joel Zumaya
AL East:
1.) Red Sox
2.) Toronto
3.) NY Yankees
4.) Baltimore
5.) Tampa Bay
Now I know being a Red Sox fan that my picks here are going to be shrugged off and looked at as biased but let me explain why I feel it will play out this way. First of all the Red Sox answered most if not all of their pressing needs from last year. They added the best FA starting pitcher available in Daisuke Matsuzaka, beefed up the bullpen with the additions of J.C. Romero, Brendon Donnely, Joel Pinie
21.) Denver - CB Marcus McCauley, Fresno St: Due to the tragic passing of Darrent Williams the Broncos need another good corner. Marcus is a speedster and a better corner than former teammate Richard Marshall whom was drafted by the Panthers in the second round last year.
22.) Dallas - S Michael Griffin, Texas: The Cowboys have two glaring needs; Safety and OG. I don't believe there's an OG worthy of a first round pick so the Cowboys draft for value and grab Griffin to team-up with Roy Will
11.) San Fran - LB Jon Beason, Miami (FL): Beason might be looked at as a reach for this spot at the moment, but I think his stock is going to continue to rise and by draft day he'll be looked at as a first round pick. Mike Nolan loves his linebackers as was evidenced during his tenure in Baltimore and Beason has the motor of a Jonathan Vilma with the hitting capabilities of Ray Lewis (both also products of "The U"). With Manny Lawson being the only stand-out LBer this pick gives them options as
following in Ortonsault's foot steps here
1.) Oakland - WR Calvin Johnson, Georgia Tech: I don't feel that Randy Moss will be with this team much longer and while most experts have the Raiders taking Jamarcus Russell, how can you pass on this guy? He's 6'5" 230lbs and ran a fucking 4.35 40! He's an absolute freak, and this is a fairly deep draft in terms of QB. I believe Troy Smith is an option for them at the start of the second round.
2.) Detroit - OT Joe Thomas, Wisconsin: Matt Mill
