My baseball draft on ESPN.com. Rot. league, 10 players, I had the fifth pick. I think people can check out the league here, but here’s my draft.
5. Johan Santana, NYM
16. Jake Peavy, SD another pitcher – my strategy was get big-name pitchers early.
25. Carlos Lee, Hou
36. Brian Roberts, Bal good speed
45. Josh Beckett, Bos hopefully back soon?
56. Rafael Furcal, LAD
65. Torii Hunter, LAA
76. Ryan Zimmerman, Was
85. Roy Halladay, Tor
96. Jason Bay, Pit
105. Adrian Beltre, Sea
116. Howie Kendrick, LAA
125. Matt Cain, SF
136. Aaron Rowand, SF
145. Bengie Molina, SF 3 Giants in a row…
156. Frank Thomas, Tor
165. Carlos Delgado, NYM
176. John Maine, NYM
185. Joba Chamberlain, NYY
196. Derek Lowe, LAD
205. J.D. Drew, Bos
216. Ted Lilly, ChC
225. Freddy Sanchez, Pit
236. Oliver Perez, NYM third Met pitcher?
245. Mark Buehrle, CWS
So the team currently looks like this:
C Bengie Molina
1B Carlos Delgado
2B Brian Roberts
3B Ryan Zimmerman
SS Rafael Furcal
2B/SS Howie Kendrick
1B/3B Adrian Beltre
OF Carlos Lee
OF Torii Hunter
OF Jason Bay
OF Aaron Rowand
OF J.D. Drew
UTIL Frank Thomas
P Johan Santana
P Jake Peavy
P Josh Beckett (DL15)
P Roy Halladay
P Matt Cain
P John Maine
P Joba Chamberlain
P Derek Lowe
P Ted Lilly
Bench
Freddy Sanchez
Oliver Perez
Mark Buehrle
Yes, I don’t have any closers!
Time to find a new 1B. Delgado might be pretty bad. I’d gamble on Sexson or Giambi.
