    I think you should just give up before my team crushes yours all season long.

    FYI, Brandon Phillips is being kept now. Perry's tossing Ellsbury back for Phillips.

    meaning the top 5 players? Or you want my selections on who I think will go in the top 5 rounds? I haven't really checked it out yet to see what all the player ranking will be. I would have to go with this for now. Top 5 Position players; 1. A-Rod 2. H. Ramirez 3. M. Tiexiera 4. A. Pujols 5. D. Wright or M. Cabrera -- Keep an eye on Josh Hamilton, Carlos Quentin and Ryan Braun. They are young guys who had outstanding years last year. Will they keep it up this year, or take a step back? They probably aren't first round picks this year, but produced like ones last season. A-Rod, you know what you're gonna get. Hanley, well, where else are you gonna get production like his from a shortstop? Teixeira, now on the Yanks, will get about 3000 RBI's this year... lol. Top 5 Pitchers (starting) 1. C.C. Sabathia 2. Santana 3. Lincecum 4. Cliff Lee 5. Peavy/ Webb -- Lincecum would be first if the Giants got him some guys who could hit. He still had 18 wins last year. Peavy and Webb, I'm not sure how many wins they will get due to the same reasons as the Giants. No run support. Sabathia on the other hand, 11-2 record when he was traded to a team that could provide run support. Top 5 closers: 1. K-Rod 2. Soria 3. Papelbon 4. Rivera 5. Nathan or Lidge

    Wow, you Need pitching. First two should be the best available SP's and 3rd pick should be a RP.

    Carpenter, Santana,Verlander, Jiminez, Mariano, Nathan would be perfect for you.

    (Pay no attention to fact not fictional!)

    You should enhance your offensive strength.(Don't dilly dally around,STACK your offense to HAMMER your opponents!)

    Zobrist is an EXCELLENT option at SS,and I'd target him 1st..

    Then I'd take A.Hill for your IF,,then J.Werth,or C.Granderson as your 1st OFer..There will be plenty of good SPs,and RPs to grab later,,AND I THINK YOU SHOULD GRAB ALOT OF THEM..

    (My strategy is always to draft high QUALITY hitters,and a high QUANTITY of pitchers; And it has worked for me,having won 5 of my last 6 leagues..
