Miller Genuine

Phew. Draft is finally over. Here's my team

Batters

C - Brian McCann
Big-hitting catche rfor the Braves; probably the #3 guy at this position
1b - Ryan Howard
Last year's NL MVP with 58 HRs and a truckload of RBIs. Like a baby Papi.
2b - Rickie Weeks
Up and comer from Milwaukee who was en route to a great season last year when he got hurt. Maybe an Utley in the making...
3b - Joe Crede
Craptastic White Sox third baseman who none-the-less manages to hit some HRs. I rather famously had to choose between this guy and Beltre in 2004; I chose Crede and lost badly. Welcome back, my man.
SS - Miguel Tejada
One-time superstar SS who left Oakland for big bucks in Baltimore - he put up some absurd numbers a couple of years back but has since been trading HRs for average. Stilla fantastic option at short.
OF - Manny Ramirez
Manny being Manny; the famously , um, Manny-ish OF from the Sox. 10+ years in a row of .300 BA /30 HR / 100 RBIs. On the downslide of his career but still a beast.
OF - Pat Burrell
Inconsistent OF from the Phils with a good deal of pop; has theoretically been working out hard this winter so... who knows.
OF - Michael Cuddyer
great late round option for the OF from Minnesota. Goodly amount of HR/ RBI / R and he should be starting in RF this year.
Util - Lyle Overbay
Notorious Cub Killer, SHOULD be fantastic but has been coming up short of late. He's up in TOR now...

Bench

Moises Alou
One year deal with the Mets. Old, so he probably won't tear it up like he once did.
Dave Roberts
Drafted him as SB trade bait, but it's probably not going to work out. He actually had some very serviceable numbers considering how willing the Sox were to part with him.
Nick Punto
Another Twin with multiple position eligibility. He keeps saving my butt in Strat-o-matic so I thought I'd try him in fantasy, too...

Pitchers

SP - Carlos Zambrano
Really emotional K master from the Cubs. If he could get his act together and be consistent, he has CY Young stuff. Sigh...
SP - Jason Schmidt
Dominant LA starter (if he stays healthy).
SP - Derek Lowe
Another Dodger - not thrilled with his lack of K's, but he should be solid.
SP - Kelvim Escobar
A Angels pitcher guy who threatens every year to be great but usually ends up staying just good. We'll see.
SP - Dave Bush
Prospect player from the Brewers. This is supposed to be "the year." So they say.
RP - Trevor Hoffman
Career saves leader; 38 and going strong.
RP - Joe Borowski
Inconsistent Cubs closer who, when he gets it together, is fairly nasty. With the Indians this year.
RP - Adam Wainwright
My lone Cardinal - he tore it up out of the pen last year for the World Series champs and is in the starting rotation this year, or could become a closer if Izzy's hip doesn't hold up. A nice late round pick.
(SP - Ian Snell)
Another prospect type who is a bit more of a stretch than Bush; he pitches for the Pirates. I'm gonna keep him near the exit.

Not bad. As usual, remains to be seen. I'll keep you updated, and Tuesday I should have my other team drafted in my league with Mike NTPB. Somewhere, a K and a Beck are crying.
