Yea I got one. Did you happen to notice that Albert faced Harang and Hanley Santana?

Should I question my choice based on one day? haha... as if I didn't know Pujols was good? Sorry, I'd rather have Hanley/Butler than Pujols/Alcides Escobar... plus I was very happy Hanley stole a base!

I think any owner who bases any decision on one day will not do well in this contest.

I pushed a lot of friends to go Hanley at one. Dave raises the point with Butler. I also think the same logic could be used at picks 30/31.

Kent, good point as you could easily get Youkilis, Sandoval, Reynolds, etc there... however, you could still get Jeter there (though a bit early) as well... it's after Jeter and Reyes go that SS really takes a dip.. and nothing against Escobar, Cabrera, or Andrus, but they all hit at the bottom of the lineup and are rookies who steal bases and that's about it.... I need a SS by the end of round 2.

Hanley/Butler vs Pujols/Escobar? I too would rather have a 1st rounder and 5th rounder than a 1st rounder and 13th rounder!

Pujols/Reyes vs Hanley/AGon might be a more fair comparison though there's really no reason to "have" to grab a MI at the two pick if you draft Pujols first overall. It's all relative.

I would go Pujols/Bartlett all day vs Hanley/Butler...and get Bartlett a round or 2 later than Butler...Hanley is nice but Pujols is the pick at 1...I hope none of your friends listened to you for their sake...

Interesting question, I actually got the #1 pick in two double plays and the #2 pick in another. So I was faced with this decision. I chose Hanley, so I thought I'd have him in all three, turns out I got Pujols at #2. These were my three starts:

Hanley-Votto-Pedroia

Pujols-Rollins-Zimmerman

Hanley-Zimmerman-Pedroia

Not sure there is a wrong answer to this question...

Glenn [/QUOTE]Hey Glenn...lol

You meant to say...anyone who PITCHES to Pujols must be crazy. Well, any pitcher who doesn't think BB (kind of IBB) with this guy is playing Russian roulette with five bullets. I don't know many pitchers who fit that profile...so Pujols might end up walking this earth.

Not sure there is a wrong answer to this question... You got Rollins that late?! Holy crap what a start... Pujols/Rollins/Zimmerman... that's perfection for a start
