I can skip pedrocerrano and make my selection now.

My strategy was to leave Toronto Blue jays for my last pick since there are a lot more good choices, but because my first four teams all added 4 usable players, I really don't need much, so I can pretty much fill my needs with a Blue Jays pick here.

Let's upgrade at SP (Halladay), grab a stud closer (Ryan) and get my last starting position player (Wells).

2006 Toronto Blue Jays

I had the same strategy, then proceeded to take Toronto in the third round for both my teams. I wish I could say that I didn't need much - but I have multiple holes to fill with my last team/player. These teams are not looking as strong as I thought they would.

I bet a lot of teams will have holes / weak players at a couple of spots. Usually, it's because people wanted to pick a team with 1-2 studs and not much else. So, it will be interesting to see if the "Starts & Scrubs" teams end up better or worse than the "Balanced w/o a lot of studs" teams.

Going to be away for 3-4 hours. Will update page 1 when I get home.

I was also trying to make sure that I could use all 4 players with my early picks, but I think I ended up with too many RPs and not enough SP/Hitters

I didn't have a single RP rostered until my round 4 pick. Eight starting hitters and four starting pitchers (although one of those guys is now slated for long relief with the '06 Halladay addition).

I’ll be going with 3 SP and 10 RP at this rate.

It's going to be a chore trying to piece together a "half-way decent" pitching staff but...oh the fun we're going to have putting a line-up out every day with nearly or over 300 HR's from the Starting Eight. Then again, the opposing pitchers strike-out totals will BALLOON facing our roster...lol.

njbigwig is driving now. He says he will pick within the hour.
