Draft Time!

One more step towards baseball season happened last night. I had the draft for my fantasy baseball league. We must be getting close to Opening Day!

I wasn’t going to mention my team here. I figured that nobody really cared who was on my fantasy team. Then I decided that nobody probably really cared about anything else I’ve posted here either. So, if it didn’t stop me before, why let it now? Here’s my team. It’s a ten-team league, 5x5, with large rosters.

Look at all those wonderful Red Sox! I had the fifth overall pick. Right in the middle. My first five picks were Ellsbury, Kershaw, Holliday, Lester, Youkilis.

I like the balance of the team. I have speed. I have power. I have high averages. My pitchers will win, and save. They’ll even strike guys out. I was able to get ten Red Sox, without sacrificing talent from other teams. I was even able to stock up on NL players so I won’t have to cheer for someone playing the Sox.

How’d your draft go?
