Wow! it seems like picking a decent team in '06 is definitely harder than '05. A bunch of incomplete players in this years set, having one deficiency or another. Anyway, who do you guys see as viable lead-off hitters? Castillo would seem like one (but 6L, high neg. clutch?) Abreu is another but would you want to waste his sluggin at the top? How about Michaels? Jeter looks like a good option, though overpriced in this years set IMHO. All the other guys have high injury ratings. Who can you use on the cheap vs. L? Vs. R? Opinions?

so far i think building an 06 set is easier than 05. there are many value players out there, most w/ less than 600 PAs but values nonetheless.

im not letting any "cats outta the bag" here so.....

Garabito vs RHP
Michaels vs LHP
Connine vs RHP, but his TB arent ideal for a leadoff guy

there are a few more too but these are my favs so far
