After last night's drafts?

Here are questions to determine my success:

1) Who is closing in St Louis?

2) What do I expect from Ian Stewart in Colorado?

3) What do I expect from Jeff Clement?

4) Who wins the second base job in San Fran? Is Burress worth owning?

    1)There was talk about Carpenter closing but it looks like the given up on that idea. Kyle Mcclellan or Chris Perez could be in line. Perez was a closer in the minors and probably is the future closer but cardinals managment think he is still green for the job. Ryan Franklin could be in the mix as well but I take a gamble with Perez.

    2)Difficult to say because if Helton goes down then Atkins moves back from 3rd back to 1st. Right now I see Stewart needing a break. If there is no injuries he will end up with 13 HR's or so with no more than 30 or 40 RBIs. If he gets a break then he might get to the 20 HR mark and he will have a 60 to 80 RBI season.

    3)I honestly think he is next but Kenji could have just had a bad season and could rebound. Remember that the manager of the mariners comes from Japan... so he might give kenji johjima more chances than he deserves. If Clemet doesnt get the gig then he will get almost the same numbers as Stewart but if he starts then he will probably have 15+ HRs and around 50 to 70 RBI's since he is in the mariners.

    4)I like Kevin Frandsen to win it. Burress will probably end up as a backup for the MI spots and Eugenio Velez will probably not make the cut. Thats just my opinion though
