who's going to have their owners laughing all the way to 1st place this year

(based on espn ADP's)
C: napoli
1B: konerko-nothing like getting a 1B who's floor is 30-95 on the cheap
2B: kinsler-"phillips/upton lite", only 50 picks later
3B: aramis-braun's nice, but i'll take the consistent vet 20 picks later
SS: tejada-no way he's 2-3 rounds worse than tulowitzki
OF: manny-could've had in the 5th round (if you drafted 2 days ago) and could carry your outfield
OF: chris young-adam dunn goes 30 picks earlier. avg. is an issue, but are dunn's 40 HRs 30 picks better than young's 25-25 (if he regresses)? i don't think so
OF: corey patterson- who else can you get after pick 200 that's virtually guaranteed to go 15-30 and could go 25-45 in that park?
SP: smoltz-certainly not 30 picks worse than verlander.
SP: francis-SP 2-3 material than can be had at SP5 prices
RP: pretty much anybody had after the top 7-8

C - Bengie Molina
1B - Mark Teixeria
2B - Robinson Cano
SS - Yunel Escobar
3B - Hank Blalock
OF - Jeff Francoeur, Shane Victorino, Matt Kemp
SP - Tim Lincecum, Francisco Liriano, Pedro Martinez, Rich Harden, Greg Maddux
RP - Joe Borowski, Heath Bell

There are several others, but these are the ones that stuck out.

I don't see Patterson or Francis as a value at all, Francis is replacement level in most leagues and Patterson may not have a job anymore by mid-May if he doesn't get on base more.

C-who cares
1B- Konerko (will put up decent numbers across the board, and will go many rounds later than most)
2B - Kelly Johnson (could put up 100 runs, 20/20, very good average and will go much later than most all 2b)
SS- Edgar Renteria (seeing him go late in drafts, can still hit well, and in that lineup, oh my)
3B - Hank Blalock (again, going very late and if fully healthy and batting cleanup, should put up very solid power numbers. Still pretty young too)

OF - Jason Bay, Johnny Damon, Manny Ramirez (just calling it a hunch, but I think all of these guys produce this year and are getting picked very very late in drafts).

P - Carlos Zambrano, Chris Young, Gil Meche, ....these are three guys that come to mind that I'm seeing being drafted very late, yet will produce. Zambrano just a year ago was mentioned in the top 4-5 starters in the league, and now he's going 15-20? Young is just solid and pitches at a nice pitchers park. Start him only at home and you'll have half a cy young right there. Meche was a diamond in the rough last year, but it seems every one has cast it off as a fluke. Zack Greinke is getting picked much higher than MEche with no proven track record of a full season of success. You can snag Meche real, real late.

C- Bard
1- Loney
2- Uggla
3- Lowell
SS- Lugo
OF- Hart
OF- Francouer
OF- Hall
P- Zambrano
P- Billingsly
P- Harden (after seeing him this morning)
RP- Jose Valverde
RP-George Sherrill

OK, so I have Konerko and Molina ... two guys mentioned here as value. Should I trade Hafner and/or VMartinez for value in other areas?

swisher has good value outside of chicago leagues....

C Maurer
1B Swisher (although hype may have pushed him out of the value zone)
2b Pedroia
SS JJ Hardy or Peralta
3B Blalock or Beltre
OF Hamilton
OF Victorino
OF Johnny Damon
U Francouer
SP Harden
SP Grienke
SP Volquez
SP Oliver Perez
SP Pedro
SP Snell
RP Accardo
RP Corpas
RP Sherrill

I really like this list. Except, I would replace Uggla with Rickie Weeks. I've been getting Weeks in the 11-15 round range whereas Uggla is going a round or 2 earlier. Loney has a sweet swing!

Stay away from Lugo.
