My earlier post said I was laughing earlier on Monday thinking about the waiver draft - here's why!
My first 5 picks were all for thirdbase players. I wanted to make sure I got one of them at that position!
Then, I changed my mind anyway after the waiver draft, and dropped the one I got (Rolen), and picked up one of my favourite 2009 players so far, Aramis Ramirez.
I had Lincecum (briefly) but changed my mind. I went back to another favorite of mine, Volquez (they are both E rated), and spent the difference (along with Rolen's salary and Drew Stubb's salary) getting 2 hitters, Aramis Ramirez (3b) and Braun (DH). Stubbs and Fowler were fighting for the #1 CF spot in training camp, and it just didn't make sense keeping them both, with one of them wasting their fielding abilities being DH. Another time, Drew, when there aren't so many republican pitchers in our division!
