I just wanted to talk a little about the fantasy baseball team that my father and I run. We recently joined a new keeper league with some guys from his office and some other friends and acquaintances around the country. I just wanted to take the opportunity to brag about our team, because I’m really excited about it. We drafted the first 15 rounds live, and will be drafting our next 15 players once-a-day for the next two weeks. Here are the guys we ended up with, in order: Johan Santana, Miguel Cabrera, Ben Sheets, Marcus Giles, Roy Oswalt, David Wright, Justin Morneau, Josh Beckett, Zack Greinke, Brad Wilkerson, Mike Piazza, Milton Bradley, B.J. Upton, Austin Kearns and Scott Kazmir.

Mostly, I’m really pleased with the abundance of young pitching we reeled in. It actually amazes me how many studs we got to fill out our rotation. We might be a little thin on offense because of it, and I think our selection of Piazza was a little risky but, all-in-all, I think we’ll be very, very good for years to come.

The head scratchers of the draft include Jeff Kent going in the third round, ahead of Aubrey Huff, our choice of Ben Sheets, Eric Gagne and Gary Sheffield, and Brian Lawrence was the 20th starting pitcher selected.

I’ll keep you posted on how the final 15 rounds end up, and I’ll post updates throughout the season.
