Hey Todd...
Great thread. Thanks for giving us heads something to read when things are slow at the office.
I'd like to comment on the '1B is deeper than 3B' reference you made early on. Im really finding that after, say, Giambi in the 6th, 1B really takes a nosedive. Meanwhile, real serviceable guys like Lowell are falling into the 20s. Sure you can take a shot with the Shealys and the Broussards, or even a nostalgic Helton pick, but I think you will fare much better grabbing a late 3B than a 1B.
My question is about speed - the category that always kills me because I just don't like it. Case in point, I can thank Mr Taveras for dropping a duece on my 2006 after I wasted a 7th on him. I can't bring myself to 'waste' an OF spot on legs alone (ie. Posednik, Pierre). Which brings me to my Q: How important to you feel getting that 'speed guy' (40+ bags) is? Do you make it a priority to do so in the early rounds???
Thanks

No, I don't make it a priority, but I don't hesitate to grab speed from a middle infielder if I don't have to reach too far down my ranking list to get him.
As for 1B vs. 3B, I like the Shealys, LaRoches, Overbays, Gonzalez etc a lot this year. Whereas I find the 3B position filled with question marks after the top tier. I guess that's why we play the game.
