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 Any comments?

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.
