Lol, Holliday at #15 is a great value

Quite a bit of early pitching there lifer, you sold on Broxton?

I guess. I had him 2 and 3 years ago when he was an absolute beast. He'll be solid, I guess I was just looking for "bigger"name when I looked at your team.

Troy Tulowitzki is being thrown out there as possible NL MVP candidates w/ Albert Pujols this season.

Holliday is sandwiched between Pujols/Ludwick.

ninerlifer, why did you draft back-to-back 2B's with Hill and Cano if you plan on using Vlad at your Util spot?

I had a mind cramp, after I drafted Cano....I was like s**t....but, I can play Cano at the UTIL spot....or trade either or

Guys who are some sleeper picks that I should be aware of? I am doing a 50 dollar 10 team league draft on sunday. I am not as into fantasy baseball as other sports so help a brotha out.

Thanks
