B: Elijah (24), Qualls (25), JSanchez (26), Ortmeir (27), Gload (28), DPrice (29), Keppinger (30) I like this team.

Lots of high average guys (A-Rod, Cano, D.Lee, Kendrick), a few prospects (Headley and Towles), a nice looking pitching staff, as I hear Cueto is gonna be a S-T-A-R!

Milledge in the 17th is highway robbery!

Nice job!

Kendrick 11th?!?

Mill 17th?!?!

Cueto 21st!?!

These players went far earlier in NY. I heard weeks went in the 7th in chicago. Maybe I really do need to get out of NY last year. I think there are a higher % of top 50 lifetime owners there. They don't allow that kendrick crap happen, only the weak players do. Ok, sorry for my rant! Team looks good to me with some minor holes (everybody has a few). Good job on getting kendrick in the 11th. He was going 5-7 round in NY from what I heard.

You drafted like a seasoned vet.

Your team is phenomenal in my opinion and I expect (hope) to be competing with you for the division.

Best of luck This year!!!

quack is the CDM syndicate team. Its a group of minds like the Manhattan project.

Not that that mattered. The london bridge fell to him.

Remember, 2nd overall still gets you $20,000!

I saw Quack's team last night and gagged.

Let me at least "try" and poke some holes in the team. Smoltz is very much getting up there in years. Sheets seems to get hurt EVERY year. Todd Jones could give Joe Borowski a run for worst peripherals ever with 40 saves. Soriano will spend some time on the DL when his elbow acts up, again. Everyone feel better?

...and let's not forget - that they drafted Milton Bradley - which is a curse that could spread throughout this squad.

Seriously though - nice squad.

QUACK, good luck on your solid team. The two of us are Smoltz/Cueto boys this year!
