Last March, anyone could have drafted the following team and blown the NFBC away:
Rnd 1 - Lance Berkman (OF)
Rnd 2 - Ian Kinsler (2B)
Rnd 3 - Josh Hamilton (OF)
Rnd 4 - Roy Halladay
Rnd 5 - Tim Lincecum
Rnd 6 - Dustin Pedroia (MI)
Rnd 7 - Joakim Soria
Rnd 8 - Geovanni Soto (C)
Rnd 9 - Stephen Drew (SS)
Rnd 10 - Brian Wilson
Rnd 11 - Nate McLouth (OF)
Rnd 12 - Carlos Gomez (OF)
Rnd 13 - Ervin Santana
Rnd 14 - Aubrey Huff (1B)
Rnd 15 - Melvin Mora (3B)
Rnd 16 - Jorge Cantu (CI)
Rnd 17 - Ryan Doumit (C)
Rnd 18 - Carlos Quentin (OF)
Rnd 19 - Brian Fuentes
Rnd 20 - Cliff Lee
Rnd 21 - Ryan Dempster
Rnd 22 - Edison Volquez
Rnd 23 - Ryan Ludwick (U)
No reserve list needed.
This team would have produced the following stats (thru games of 9/25):
BA - .2962
Runs - 1308
HR - 341
RBIs - 1265
SB - 154
Wins - 115
Saves - 111
ERA - 2.89
WHIP - 1.152
K's - 1414
To build this team, round 1 pick had to have been chosen no sooner than pick 15 in main event, round 2 pick no sooner than 30, round 3 no sooner than 45, etc. Any challengers to post a better team?

How About this Team
Good one. And "we" would have picked that team apart last March.
Not enough power.
Not enough speed.
Too injury prone.
Not enough starting pitching.
Too few saves.
Huff? Cantu? Doumit? Wilson? Lee? Dempster?
Great!

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.
