I rarely shoot for landing more than 15 or 16 players. I usually have a few block picks thrown in and a few back-up starter choices who are too costly for the bench. If I do land more than 16 in the first round, I'm in trouble!

hey Don you out there? I will be pretty absent the next 2 days so hopefully we're all good to go

I usually try to land one of the deadball aces, but only succeeded once. i tried something totally different this time. Went for A poor man's Silver King- Ed Seward. And I expect to get him. He has 634 IP but the guy averaged more than 9 innings pitched per game! So I figure 80 starts for him should be just about right.

He should be able to throw about 120 pitches per game for 81 starts.

I need the first round results tonight.  I'm bored stiff.

$23M is steep in a $100M theme...he would be a Cy Young candidate...

Thank you for your patience everyone. First, as always, the list of most claimed players. The top man this time was a complete surprise to me - I can't recall him being particularly popular ever before. You can start crossing these guys off your list.

Now sitemails followed by the posting of the master list.

5/8 of my lineup and 3/5 of my starting rotation gone. Back to the drawing board.

I did ok, but the spellcheck sent in Jimmy Collins instead of Jimmy Rollins, so I have 2 3B. Now I have a not so cheap reserve infielder...

I've got my entire starting batting lineup, but only 628 IP of my pitching staff.  This is where it gets interesting.....

And, finally, the list of players claimed exactly twice and who claimed them. Because, you know, who can sleep without knowing who blocked you from getting John Wehner?
