Fanatsy Drafts in full-swing and MY DRAFT

Fantasy drafts are happening on-line and in basements all over the United States this week. We had our draft on Sunday. I always think the draft is the most fun day of fantasy baseball right next to collecting the cash. There were some interesting picks in our 10 team foxsports.com league. The first two picks went as I expected with A-Rod and Matt Holliday going 1/2. The third was a big shocker as Victor Martinez left the board. That's right, I just said Victor Martinez was our 3rd pick!!!! I picked Utley 4th. Some people will never read this again after reading that tidbit. No, I wasn't drunk. I actually had him ranked 5th on my board and then I remembered that girly outfit and man-purse that Jose Reyes had on at the Pittsburg All-Star Parade and just couldn't take him. The 1st round finished out with Puljos, Hanley Rameriz, David Wright, Jose Reyes, Johan Santana, and Miguel Cabrera.

Round-2

Carl Crawford
Ryan Howard
Jimmy Rollins
Prince Fielder
David Ortiz
Vlad
Magglio Ordonez

The two catchers going early was surprising and prompted me to take Mauer in the 4th round after McCann got snatched up too in that round.
