Drafting closer to home

Me and the boys had our baseball draft tonight.

For some reason, only 6 people signed up (at least 3 more were interested and never did).

Anyways, here's my draft order:

    StPattyFingeredMe:
  1. Johan Santana, SP (6)
  2. Derek Lee, 1B (7)
  3. Ichiro Suzuki, OF (18)
  4. Roy Oswalt, SP (19)
  5. Aramis Ramirez, 3B (30)
  6. Jeff Kent, 2B (31)
  7. Derek Jeter, SS (42)*
  8. Chone Figgins, 2B (43)
  9. Billy Wagner, RP (54)
  10. Joe Nathan, RP (55)
  11. Chad Codero, RP (66)
  12. Andy Pettitte, SP (67)
  13. Adam Dunn, OF (78)
  14. Mark Buehrle, SP (79)
  15. Scott Podsednik, OF (90)
  16. Chipper Jones, 3B (91)
  17. C.C. Sabathia, SP (102)
  18. Kenji Johjima, C (103)
  19. Keith Foulke, RP (114)
  20. Coco Crisp, OF (115)
  21. Jhonny Peralta, SS (126)
  22. Cliff Floyd, OF (127)
  23. Scot Shields, RP (138)
  24. Jose Contreras, SP (139)
*Another nice number

The shame of 6 people. However, the real danger comes from the stat categories:
Hitters: Runs, Home Runs, RBIs, Stolen Bases, Assists, OPS
Pitchers: Wins, Saves, Strikeouts, ERA, WHIP, K/BB

We shall see.....



So why does CBS.Sportsline have baseball fantasy drafts that don't start until April 20th? I mean, Yahoo lets you draft within the hour... you usually see a team fill up quick like that.

Weird.
