so...i have a AAA allstar team with no C or SS ...funny....well there will have to be a bunch of trading thats for sure...anyway here is my team...

Oswalt, Roy (P)
Capps, Matt (P)
Jimenez, Ubaldo (P)
Marmol, Carlos (P)
Heilman, Aaron (P)
Neshek, Pat (P)
Miller, Andrew (P)
Cueto, Johnny
McGee, Jake (P)
Kershaw, Clayton (P)
Turnbow, Derrick (P)
Prior, Mark (P)
Santana, Ervin (P)
Adenhart, Nick (P)
Liz, Radhames (P)


Swisher, Nick
Kendrick, Howie (2B,MI)
Longoria, Evan (3B,CI)
Brignac, Reid (SS,MI)
Headley, Chase (3B,CI)
Upton, B.J. (OF,2B,MI)
Markakis, Nick (OF)
Young, Chris B. (OF)
Young, Delmon (OF)
Braun, Ryan (3B,CI)
Upton, Justin (OF)
Pena, Wily Mo (OF)
Jones, Adam (OF)
Pearce, Steven (OF)
Rasmus, Colby (OF)
Wood, Brandon (3B,CI)

Well, I guess you're not a good person to target so I can get a 1B...unless you feel like moving Swisher. Here are the Drunken Clams, who start the year with no minor-leaguers, which pretty much never happens with me even in redraft leagues:

Drunken Clams

Round Pick Player Pos
1 10 Utley, Chase (PHI) DH
2 13 Sizemore, Grady (CLE) OF
3 32 Dunn, Adam (CIN) OF
4 35 Granderson, Curtis (DET) OF
5 54 Hart, Corey (MIL) OF
6 57 Mauer, Joe (MIN) C
7 76 Hernandez, Felix (SEA) P
8 79 Furcal, Rafael (LAD) SS
9 98 Liriano, Francisco (MIN) P
10 101 Smoltz, John (ATL) P
11 120 Bay, Jason (PIT) DH
12 123 Thome, Jim (CHA) Bench
13 142 Fields, Josh (CHA) 3B
14 145 Soriano, Rafael (ATL) P
15 164 Bonderman, Jeremy (DET) P
16 167 Broxton, Jonathan (LAD) P
17 186 Hoffman, Trevor (SD) P
18 189 Lidge, Brad (PHI) P
19 208 Sherrill, George (BAL) P
20 211 Lopez, Felipe (WAS) 2B
21 230 Johnson, Randy (ARI) P
22 233 Lugo, Julio (BOS) MI
23 252 Morrow, Brandon (SEA) Bench
24 255 Carpenter, Chris (STL) Bench
25 274 Wood, Kerry (CHN) Bench
26 277 Church, Ryan (NYN) Bench
27 296 Quentin, Carlos (CHA) Bench
28 299 Guillen, Jose (KC) Bench
29 318 Johnson, Nick (WAS) 1B
30 321 Embree, Alan (OAK) Bench
31 340 Wilkerson, Brad (SEA) CI

So, unfortunately I'm looking at Wilkerson or Nick Johnson at 1B, which isn't a pretty picture. Not as bad as missing a C or SS, but I'm not trying to assemble the minor league all stars either.

Here's my team, could use a top OF, 3B or SS. Let me know.

So which team has the BEST shot at winning THIS year? Any opinions? Sorry Tarrell, I guess that would eliminate you for say, I don't know, 2-3 yrs, but hey your Dynasty will begin then.

I really really like Miltia and MVO's (Die Nasty's) teams the best...there are some solid squads below them - justin, gregs, wiley, and even clams are really solid...

2-3 years hu?...will see....ill put even money on finishing atleast 6th this season, but I could make a run - you never know...besides you guys have to get a chance to beat me....as of now none of you know how that feels
