Of my four teams, I was happy to get Kendrys Morales on three of them (and was pissed when someone snatched him from me on my fourth draft). For a mid-round pick, he can provide value ten rounds before I took him. I think many forgot how good he was before he got hurt, and he seems healthy and shoul...

Not sure if all leagues have the same rules, but in my Slow Draft leagues, lineups have to be in by Monday for every week except this week, when they have to be in by Wednesday. You should doublecheck the rules for your league because I would hate to mislead you.

You will do very well on pitching, but I think you will struggle on offense. Can't be strong everywhere, but you look weak at the corners and outfield. Perhaps your middle infield and catchers will help compensate, but you may be short on power and steals. Still, if you dominate pitching and do aver...

Trying to get an early start on setting my Lineups for my three slow draft teams. When I hit "set lineup" I can't see boxes for Wednesday's and Thursday's games (April 3 & 4). Any way to fix this? Thanks.

I liked some picks and disliked others. Tough to evaluate well without seeing who was available at the time you made your picks. That being said, I'm not sure where your SBs are going to come from, and you may be weak on all or most hitting categories. Also, I'm not a personal fan of going so heavy ...

Never mind. Rolling now.

Tom (or Greg) - Can you help? Our draft started about an hour ago. Just about every team is ready to pick but we still are waiting on Pick No. 1. An ominous start. Anything you could do would be great. I think someone e-mailed him, and someone said he was on-line at some point, but no picks so far. ...

Greg - please add me to this slow draft. I just signed up. Thanks. Mike

Interesting to see BJ Upton go high in Round 2 (to the same team that drafted Justin Upton). Somebody likes that family!

Interesting. With V-Mart out for the year, it is clear that Napoli and Santana are the top two catchers by some margin and, consequently, it looks like they steadily are moving up earlier and earlier. Not sure if I've seen one of these before where two catchers were taken as early as the second roun...

I think the Pedroia/Kinsler picks at the end of Round 1 and start of Round 2 were interesting and gutsy. I also note that Ryan Braun is being picked earlier and earlier - perhaps the odds are increasing (or just the perception) that the suspension is lifted or reduced.

I think Hosmer is a future star, but am shocked at the gap between him and Konerko. On the two drafts released today, Hosmer went at 41 and 45, while Konerko went at 77 and 84. Even if you think Hosmer will be better this year, Konerko's value looks much better to me.

I'll be signing up momentarily. Looking forward to it.
