Looks like you did a nice job of getting some batting beef in Rounds 2, 4, and 5 Mark. Makes up nicely for the opportunity cost of taking Johan in Round #1. After that, lots of young guys with upside. Looks like that was your strategy. Hope it pays off.
I like the Shields pick, though he went about that early in my league too, which surprised me a bit. Looks like you will flush out a save opportunity or two from your relievers, then use the FAAB to pump up the starters a little (like I said, I like Shields, but he may not help you much with Wins). Don't like the O. Perez pick, but that is just personal and a 19th round gamble will not kill you if it does not pay off.
Good Luck!
Baseball is a slow, boring, complex, cerebral game that doesn't lend itself to histrionics. You 'take in' a baseball game, something odd to say about a football or basketball game, with the clock running and the bodies flying.
