childs 6-1 while knowledgeable alot on plate this year, like a job!!
gekko 15-1 rumor has it last year was a fluke
kj duke 12-1, the due theory
haney 10-1, past winners seem to struggle in following years
didonato 6-1, a perenial at the top and leading money winner hard to argue
thomas 7-1, a strong history
gillis 17-1, seems to struggle in main event
zaleski 20-1, used alot of good karma in foots maybe not much left for bases
mclean 13-1, an up and coming force, only 3rd year doing bases, rides a strong 07, research fanatic
for news and information purposes only!!! further commentary on this crew ...
childs 6-1 while knowledgeable alot on plate this year, like a job!! agreed, if he ever falls out of the top 15 this could be the year
gekko 15-1 rumor has it last year was a fluke I don't believe the rumor, but a modest backslide is possible
kj duke 12-1, the due theory the foundation has been built from the ground up, it's time to close
haney 10-1, past winners seem to struggle in following years I go back to year 1 when Haney beat me in the NL auction on the last day, next season I blew him away. He's better as the underdog!
didonato 6-1, a perenial at the top and leading money winner hard to argue where was he last season?
thomas 7-1, a strong history you need to adopt Child's philosophy and focus all your energy on the main!
gillis 17-1, seems to struggle in main event first step is the top 50, then we'll see about 09
zaleski 20-1, used alot of good karma in foots maybe not much left for bases very true, and now he has WallaWallaGate to contend with

George Mitchell is lurking right around the corner.
mclean 13-1, an up and coming force, only 3rd year doing bases, rides a strong 07, research fanatic and I saw her lucky dog in the mag, luck and skill is the combo you need
other odds
G Morgan 7-1 two-sport mr. consistency
kenyon 10-1 ... but is the youth movement catching up?
jupinka 15-1 faded down the stretch in 07, if he comes into camp in better shape he might not wear down in September
