Looking at the list of hitting subs, I'm fascinated by how the selection of these players is developing.  Unlike most of the other hitting positions, where the best player is taken next, the order in which these players are taken is all over the board.  Some of the lesser skilled hitters are taken early because they fill a key position and have lots of PA's (relatively speaking). 

For example, at the beginning of the draft, who would have guessed that Jeff Keppinger would be the 2nd sub taken?  (And it was a smart pick).  The Shawn Wooten pick was a sneaky good pick since he has catcher eligibility (232 PA with A+ arm).

I know most people are waiting till the end of the draft for these players, but as we finish these last few rounds, nobody will really be able to predict which sub will be drafted next.
I would have taken Keppinger if he hadn't been taken that round. Pretty unique skill-set among the subs; most of the rest can be duplicated with careful use of the $300K players, or can't get much use (like Spencer).

rbow923 RP Ernie Broglio
I love this pick by rbow923.  He was very light in starting pitcher's IPs.  Plus, he made this pick at the exact right time.  He just took a $6.7M player and didn't move down even one spot in the draft order.

That's why rbow923 is one of the favorites to win this thing.

how are the top hitting teams looking? that was interesting to see those pitching teams..I have a little higher WHIP and around the same OAV, maybe a bit higher as well but my hr/9 is real low..i feel as if i built my team around pitching but the hitting seems just as good..

I'm trying to figure out why tjefferson used an early pick on Deion Sanders.  He has plenty of PA's in the OF.
