Fantasy baseball talk Part 1

So I am involved in 4 different leagues, fantasy baseball wise. Last night were the first two drafts, and I think I did fairly well with my picks. I had the #1 overall pick in a 10 person, snake draft. Here's what I finished up with (listed with round number, player, and then the overall pick number in parentheses).

1 Alex Rodriguez (1)
2 Jorge Posada (20)
3 Roy Halladay (21)
4 Scott Rolen (40)
5 Tim Hudson (41)
6 Luis Castillo (60)
7 Andruw Jones (61)
8 Joe Borowski (80)
9 Arthur Rhodes (81)
10 Frank Thomas (100)
11 Johnny Damon (101)
12 Eddie Guardado (120)
13 Shannon Stewart (121)
14 Rich Aurilia (140)
15 Mark Buehrle (141)
16 Eric Hinske (160)
17 A.J. Pierzynski (161)
18 Ugueth Urbina (180)
19 Larry Walker (181)
20 Pat Burrell (200)
21 Byung-Hyun Kim (201)
22 Paul Konerko (220)
23 Eric Milton (221)
24 John Lackey (240)
25 Eric Young (241)

Couple of personal notes from my perspective. I think I had serious steals at the end of the 2nd and 4th rounds. My offense should be nicely balanced, with some good win totals. My save numbers might be a bit subjective (i.e. cross my fingers and pray), but I think I'll come out ok.

Let me know what you think.
