Here is how my draft went. You guys don't have to rate my team or anything. I figure I would post it to help anyone who hasn't drafted yet.
I had the 3rd pick out of 13 teams. We start C, 1B, 2B, SS, 3B, 5OF, 2UT, 9P. We have 3 bench spots available. Its a 5X5 league, rotisserie style.
1) Pujols
2) B. Phillips
3) E. Bedard
4) Markakis
5) E. Byrnes
6) Smoltz
7) C. Guillen
8) B. Myers
9) Posada
10) Joba
11) T. Hudson
12) J. Damon
13) Percival
14) P. Martinez
15) M. Lowell
16) Adam Jones
17) F###dome
18) Cuddyer
19) G. Meche
20) S. Shields
21) JJ Hardy
22) R. Davis SF
23) M. Alou
24) J. Piniero
Pujols at pick 3 was probably a stretch, but I wasn't enamored with any other potential picks there. (ARod and Hanley Ramirez went 1 & 2). Plus, I am a Cardinals fan and wanted him. I really wanted a later pick. I think I could have gotten him at 9 or 10. There was a huge closer run for a while. Me and the 2 guys I sat with decided to let everyone else take questionable closers while we loaded up on SP and offense. Thats my weakest category, so I will be watching the waiver wire for any potential closers.
I think I had a pretty good draft. I got some value late, with M. Lowell and Pedro. I think F###dome is going to have a good year too. I'm pretty happy with my team.
