BJ Upton at 13!



Brandon Phillips at 25.

I liked the Phillips pick by Nate. Great spot for him. I was hoping he'd fall back to me in the third but I'll take Granderson.

Good pick



Round 11

#127 BaseballHQ Moises Alou (OF NYM)

ALOU went in the 17th round in the Childs classic, and thats a 15 team league.Shandler should have come himself.

Kent Stermon gave me hell for taking Carlos Lee instead of Brandon Phillips at pick #23. I was able to land Figgins in round 4 and I am in the minority camp that Phillips will repeat his numbers in 2008.

I gotta say, I don't think Phillips repeats.. but he sure seems to be a popular pick.

Phillips went 15th in the NFBC magazine league draft last night. I think in most cases if you want him, you'll have to use a second-round pick on him. I don't think he'll fall into the third round of too many drafts.
