[b:8ae497c90a]Final Poutine (luckyman)[/b:8ae497c90a]
Luckyman managing a M*A*S*H unit – 5 players w/ serious injury issues. Circumstances have forced the French Canadian genius to carry one player over the limit. Although I’m still wondering why he drafted Foulke so high, luckyman will get great value from Greinke & Odalis Perez. Poutine has a HUGE advantage resulting from essentially having two first round picks (Santana & Rolen). Santana probably should have gone top 3 and will be especially valuable pitching in Kauffman.
Lugo & Cota make for an expensive bench and bad things will happen when HAL starts moving Hariston around the diamond, but luckyman will manage this team on a day-to-day basis and he will leverage a wide variety of lineup configuration options. Some value lost by carrying an expensive bench, but a lot of high-value types – overall the league’s strongest team.

Not a fan of Ovebay, Koskie, or Renteria. Also J.Cabrera seems like an unnecessary indulgence. Nonetheless, a lot of high value players (Kendall, Castillo, Freel, Finley, Bonds) and salary cap is used efficiently.
I’m not a fan of the 7-man pitching staff. It will be interesting to see if it holds up in this league – it hasn’t worked so far.
[b:8ae497c90a]DK’s (biggie)[/b:8ae497c90a]
I can’t understand why this team has so many fans. I like Frank Thomas, J.D.Drew, and Torii Hunter, but otherwise just a lot of bodies. Lineup is vulnerable to hard righties and reverse lefties – Kav & Luckyman will take advantage of that.
[b:8ae497c90a]Snow Dogs (kav)[/b:8ae497c90a]
Kav holding a bunch of players I don’t like (Phelps/Morneau platoon, Mabry, Patterson, Sierra) and I haven’t had much luck with Clemens & Oswalt, so its hard for me to get excited about this team. Two extra players reduces effective salary cap to around 78.5M.
The team looks weak vs. RHP. Good News: lots of LHP in divisions; Bad News: most of those lefty pitchers have reverse platoons. The Lowry / Capuano combo is pretty nifty.
