well the results are in

the first draft of the year, i felt it went well, i know this is what you've all been waiting for or dont give a shit about but heres my lineup anyway

C: Joe Mauer, you may ask, LJ who is this, well hes possibly the best young player in the AL catches for the twins, he just has to make it through a season without gettin hurt
1B: Jim Thome, i love him
2B: Alfonso Soriano, i love this guy, oozing with potential
3B: Eric Chavez, will he become a roid casualty from oakland aswell?
SS: Migel Tejeda, god if he really was on roids, i'm screwed
OF: Garrett Anderson, will his back hold up?
OF: Magglio Ordonez, love the guy
OF: Chipper Jones, yes hes at 3B now, but still qualifies in the OF
U: Larry Walker, i know hes old but hey, look at that line up
SP: Tim Hudson, i have to say this will be interesting to see how he does at home
SP: Roger Clemens, yeah i know will likely retire but hey, i'd love to have another Cy Young
SP: AJ Burnett, will be great, aslong as hes healthy for a whole season
SP: Matt Clement, my first sox that i drafted, and always on one of my teams anyway, i love this guy
SP: David Wells, my only other sox and a very likely candidate for 15-20 wins and 200 innings
RP: Frankie Rodrigez, well now that Percival isnt in ANA anymore, this guy is an all out fantasy stud
RP: Eddie Guardado, not really sure what to expect from him, is on Seattle, who sucked last year but improved alot over the off season, was great when he was with the twins but is now recovering from shoulder surgery
Bench( the most important part of the team):

Wade Miller: might not have a spot even if he comes back healthy unless someone gets hurt, but like Clement, i love the guy, and hes a sox, couldnt help myself

Randy Wolf: currently Philly's top starter, could have an awesome season, bouncing back from shoulder and foot problems last year, then again it could be ugly

Nate Robertson: this is where the average sox fan says WHO THE HELL IS THAT?, i'll tell you he was Detroits 5th starter, a lefty to boot, went 10-12 last season for an Detroit team with just Pudge, now they'll have Dimitri Young back, one of baseballs best kept secrets, and Magglio Ordonez in the line up too, oh yeah and Troy Percival to close out games

Moises Alou: went to the Giants over the off season where he will hit behind Barry Bonds, which means a huge boost to his value since hes already an RBI machine

Dimitri Young: the best .300 30 HR hitter that you've never heard of, he'll be hitting behind Magglio and Pudge this year, i think this will boost his production

Steve Finley: well had an awesome season last year and will probably do it again, since hes going to be in a line up with Vlad Guerruo and Garret Anderson with possibly Dallas McPherson(rookie at 3b who is predicted to be a huge player) behind him, thats a nice line up anyway you look at it

well thats the team, it looks like even with all the bad should the good work out i'll be over stocked at OF, which for me is a rare thing and also at SP, good solid infield as normal, ok i LOVE my SP and my RP for that matter, i wanted Frankie really bad, i think hes gonna be huge, a note my first OF was drafted in the 9th round, yes i waited on fantasy baseball's most prolific position because why? OF is so deep you can pull off shit like i just did and get away for it, i was the 8th pick in the draft, i took Tejeda first, and thats all you're getting because i dont want my draft style all over the place, i still LOVE my pitching staff
