It’s bonkers that you got Fuentes that late – nicely done. Also love Matsui in the 10th, I think any reaches you made with someone like Dice is more than made up with some of your late round value, i.e. Sexson, whose gag-inducing average should be offset by your earlier picks, and I like him a lot more in roto, where his cold stretches don't hurt AS badly as in H2H. Personally, I’m trying to purge any team I have with Pierre on it, but that’s just because I don’t have a good feeling about him this year. On the whole I think you did very, very well in your draft.

10-team mixed 5x5 straight draft - how do I look?

I had the first pick (serpentine draft) in a 10-team mixed 5x5 Rotisserie league.
Cats are: ERA/WHIP/K/W/Sv HR/RBI/BA/SB/R
Lineups done daily, with following positions:
C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, OF(3), DH and P(6)
There are 5 bench spots.

I tried to take offense with at least the first three picks, but since I was at the end of the 4th round, I took Oswalt with my 3rd.
I also wanted to wait until round 6 with Dice-K, but didn't think he'd be there at the end of that round, so I grabbed him with my 5th.
I think I'm short on SB, so I got Tavarez for my bench. There are some more SB guys on the wire, but I took Ensberg instead because I'm
not real high on Chavez despite his being the best 3B available in round 13 according to the cheatsheet I downloaded (from TMR, of course!). I was pleased to
get C.C. in the 7th, and Harden in the 11th. Also wanted to get more middle relievers, but in a shallow league there were still decent
SPs available late. I like F Garcia as a good value due to switch to NL.

Here's how the draft went:

1. 1B Albert Pujols, StL
2. OF Lance Berkman, Hou
3. P Roy Oswalt, Hou
4. SS Michael Young, Tex
5. P Daisuke Matsuzaka, Bos
6. OF Juan Pierre, LAD
7. P C.C. Sabathia, Cle
8. P B.J. Ryan, Tor
9. 2B Howie Kendrick, LAA
10. OF Hideki Matsui, NYY
11. P Rich Harden, Oak
12. C Kenji Johjima, Sea
13. 3B Eric Chavez, Oak
14. P Bob Wickman, Atl
15. UTIL Richie Sexson, Sea
16. Bnch Willy Taveras, Col
17. Bench Brian Fuentes, Col
18. Bench Andy Pettitte, NYY
19. Bnch Morgan Ensberg, Ho
20. Bench Freddy Garcia, Phi
