I don't know if it helps anyone else but I just pick guys I like, and I would appreciate it if you guys would not pick them.

Remember guys, these suggestions are worth whatever you say, but
I have been using a formula in picking my players & it is something like this:

1, I pick 3 players & figure 3 other guys will pick them too, so I discard them, 2.  I pick 4 other players & figure 2 of them will be picked by 3-4 other guys, so 3. I then pick 5 players & know that only 2 of them will also be picked by 2-3 other guys & 2 others by 1-3 other guys so at this pt I have only selected 3 players cleanly. Now, 4, I am close to getting myself upset, so I nearly start over & pick 9 new players knowing that 3 are also being picked by 2 other guys & 3 by 2-3 guys leaving me a chance that 5 may be clear for me to select from without a problem but I would then have 2 extra players if no problems so I discard 1 that I know others will pick & l I figure others will not pick leaving me with possible 3 undouble picked and thus a possible clean draft for the round of 6.  Yet, as you can see, I'm not doing quite this well in each round of this process.  At any rate, this might give you an alternate method of trying to select players for you next round?
I used that EXACT formula for our first league and ended up with 7 guys after 4 rounds...............threw my calculator away after that!!
Now I just throw darts.

Finn2030's Gene Conley should be bolded. 

I didn't think I would get Cepeda, but I couldn't resist, neither could anyone else apparently.

I took George Brett only to block someone else.  Now I've got a nice 3B platoon with Brett and Brooks Robinson.
