327 - fantasy baseball

two fantasy drafts today and it drove missy nuts! i always claim sunday as my chore day, but today my chore was drafting two winning teams. the first draft was a 14-team league that has been going on for several years now commissioned by my friend ian brewe. the league is head-to-head scoring using the 5x5 categories. i have been a #1 or #2 seed every year in the playoffs, but have yet to win a championship. so this year i changed my strategy and went after more hitting and not the best available player. starting pitching was my last concern. i was 'lucky' enough to get the second pick which means i get a stud, but have to wait 25 more picks until my next guy. here's my lineup:
c- v.martinez (A+)
1b-a. pujols (A+)
2b-p. polanco (C)
3b-e.chavez (B)
ss-garciaparra (?)
of-pierre (A-), drew (C+), k.mench (C)
util - t.hafner (B+)
sp - o.perez (pit), j.seo, c.wang, t.lilly, p.maholm (D - two guys who can strike people out, but that's it and three young guys who don't strike anyone out, but look promising)
rp - r.dempster, a.benitez, b.fuentes, t.hoffman, j.devine (A for quantity, B for quality).

i think i definitely make the playoffs again this year, but a championship may be out of reach.

the second league is a new league hosted by my 'suspect' friends. this is a rotisserie league that uses 10 hitting categories and 7 pitching categories. so, i went for even more offense. i picked 6th out of 12 teams. i really wanted jason bay in the 1st but couldn't pass on d. lee. here's my lineup:

c: m. barrett (B - 20 hr and i will be happy)
1b: d. lee (A - if last year is no fluke)
2b: c. utley (A+ - #1 2b in my mind)
3b: s.rolen (B - only health is question)
ss: m.young (A - best 2b/ss combo in league)
of: g.sizemore (B), dunn (A - league counts walks and OPS), b.giles (B)
util: k.mench (C), r.baldelli (?)
sp: j.blanton, o.perez, t.lilly, c.wang, j.seo (D-almost identical to my other league)
rp: r.dempster, h.street, m.gonzalez, b.jenks, b.fuentes (B-again, quantity, not quality)

being a rotisserie league, i think i have a good shot here. i think i will have one of the top offenses and since there are more offensive categories that bodes well for me. to win, however, spot starts will be crucial to my strategy.
