Fantasy Baseball

Well now that we are a month into the season i can start bitching. I'll start off with my first round draft picks.

I'm in 3 fantasy baseball leagues because I'm crazy like that. I'll break down my first rounders.

Walkoff Walk League (20 teams) = Mark Teixeira (16 overall)
Roto league = Ryan Howard (9)
$ league = Ryan Braun (8)

You can probably guess where I'm going with this. Teixeira has been a huge disappointment. He is hitting under .200 and has left more men on base than I care to think about. Add to this that I'm a huge Yankees fan and this pick makes me very very bitter.

As far as the other rounds go here are my best picks so far:
Walkoff Walk League (20 teams) = Marco Scutaro (336). yes, he has been very productive. Look at his numbers, great value so far for such a late pick.
Roto league = Johan Santana (12). Not much of a steal.
$ league = Evan Longoria (17) at this point I would have to consider him a steal at #17 overall.

Feel free to tell me your picks and how they are working out.

As a Yankees fan, I try not to mix business with pleasure. I actually go out of my way not to draft Yankees.

In two separate money leagues, my best picks were:

Chad Billingsley in the 10th round in one and Erik Bedard in the 18th round in another.

Fleecing Jason Bartlett off the waiver wire due to Stephen Drew's shittiness has helped.

A guy watching the free agent list has had some oppportunities to pick up guys that can help. I scour our list and have found a few guys that have help vault me to second place, just a few pts behind the leader. It's about picking up the surprises.
