I actually like a lot of guys on your team. I'm kind of surprised you were ranked as low as you are by my draft software projections.My OF and SP is better than yours and it's not really close.Here are the preseason rankings according to the projections from my draft software:

60% sure my family split Cardinals season tickets next to that guy in 1984.Guy just sat down at table next to me with a wife beater and a giant anheiser-Busch tattoo. The big A with the eagle?

OF is definitely my weakest position, but my infield is better than yours all around the diamond. I think our SP staffs are pretty comparable -- both have a ton of upside with some significant risk involved.

I won the league in 2008, but that was with Cos on board. I've been awful before and after. I don't expect different results this year, but man, do I love me some self promotion.Great write-up GM
Sure, Beltre is great. But ZiPS projects Frazier to score more runs, hit more home runs, drive in more runs, and steal significantly more bases than Beltre. Father Time has to catch up to Beltre eventually whereas Frazier is in his prime.Beltre is pretty good.I actually like a lot of guys on your team.

Lady in front of us is cutting off the ends to her green beans and lining them up in a perfect row.
I especially like the part about all those guys that used to be good were value picks because they're not as good any more.Great write-up GM

Another guy not in the system. I gave you a different Herrera.Odubel Herrera MI PHI
Guy has skills, will make a nice keeper.Another guy not in the system. I gave you a different Herrera.Odubel Herrera MI PHI![]()
Smells like money!C - Yadier Molina STL My catcher has a .340 OBP. What does yours have? 15th round. Tremendous value.
1B - Victor Martinez DET Ho hum, 7th rated player on Yahoo 2014. 43rd player chosen here. Bargain shopping is my Matt Forte.2B - Daniel Murphy NYM Ample mix of power and OBP. He'll even get me DD Steals. 11th round, speaking of steals. Also really likes women.SS - Jimmy Rollins LAD Motivated now in LA and out of the suck hole that is Phily. Good source of steals, runs and veteran reassurance.
3B - Adrian Beltre TEX Nothing to see here, other than the best third basemen in baseball.
CI - CJ Cron LAA Prodigious power for the former first rounder from Fullerton. Household name by July.MI - Martin Prado MIA Trusty veteran MI plucked in the 22nd round. Better value than the Rite Aid AS SEEN ON TV Aisle.
OF - Giancarlo Stanton MIA This is where I separate from you all. My OF is better than yours.OF - Jason Heyward STL Atlanta Braves could screw up Babe Ruth's offensive game. Cardinals will turn Heyward into an MVP candidate.
OF - Kole Calhoun LAA My THIRD OF is better than most of your second OF.
OF - Leonys Martin TEX More awesomeness at the most pivotal position in fantasy baseball.OF - Rusney Castillo BOS With an All-Star OF assembled already, I could afford to gamble here. Boom or bust, matters not. I have depth.UTIL - Allen Craig BOS Was once a fantasy darling selected early in leagues. I got him in the 21st. OF/CI eligibility to boot.UTIL - Rajai Davis DET 18th round a fine fine place to draft 35+ steals. Rollins, Martin and Davis will give me 100 steals this summer.
BENCH - Jonathan Schoop 2B BAL Having a great camp. Once thought of as a highly touted prospect. Sometimes it takes time.BENCH - Micah Johnson 2B CHW Nothing in front of him in Chicago. Could win a job or could be drop fodder.BENCH - Aramis Ramierez 3B MIL Retiring after this year. He can still hit. Insurance at 3B/CI and good insurance at that.
SP - Madison Bumgarner SFO You all watched the World Series. This guy is a bull.
SP - Cole Hamels PHI Just wait until he gets traded to a contender....SP - Alex Cobb TB Future CY Young winner. Book it.SP - Jose Fernandez MIA Might only get 20 starts out of him, but they will be fabulousSP - Colin McHugh HOU Break out pitcher of 2014. He's legit.SP - Tanner Roark WAS 1.05 WHIP and a sub 3 ERA. In the 24th round. So he may not start? So I do not care.SP - Wily Peralta MIL 25 year old has star potential written all over him. Will be a mid round pick next year and a top 10 pick in two.P - Francisco Rodriguez MIL You reach for your closers while I add offense. I'll add mine late. All KROD does is save games.P - LaTroy Hawkins COL Saves are saves, whether you're a 14th round 42 year old or a 5th round 20 something. Saves are saves.P - Kevin Quackenbush SD Will be San Diego's closer by June. Maybe sooner.
WINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
