Twins Bloggers' Fantasy League Draft

I was invited to participate in a Baseball Fantasy league that includes 9 other Twins' bloggers (by draft order: )

Eric Olson, Call to the Pen
Josh Johnson, Josh's Thoughts
John Meyer, Twins MVB
Seth Stohs, Sethspeaks.net
John Bonnes, Twins Geek
Jon Marthaler, TNABACG
Nick Nelson, Nick & Nick's Twins Blog
John Hageman, Over the Baggy
Andrew Kneeland, Twins Fix

I picked 9th then 12th and so on. Here are my picks:


  1. Jimmy Rollins, Phi SS

  2. Ian Kinsler, Tex 2B

  3. Brian McCann, Atl C

  4. Manny Ramirez, LAD OF

  5. Dan Haren, Ari SP

  6. Kevin Slowey, Min SP

  7. Adam Dunn, Was OF

  8. Chris Davis, Tex 3B

  9. Joey Votto, Cin 1B

  10. Jonathan Broxton, LAD RP

  11. Carlos Gomez, Min OF

  12. Ervin Santana, LAA SP

  13. Frank Francisco, Tex RP

  14. Jesse Crain, Min RP

  15. Chris Young, Ari OF

  16. Justin Upton, Ari OF

  17. Chien-Ming Wang, NYY SP

  18. Jorge Campillo, Atl SP

  19. Clayton Kershaw, LAD SP

  20. Jorge Cantu, Fla 3B

  21. J.D. Drew, Bos OF

  22. Yunel Escobar, Atl SS

  23. Gary Sheffield, Det DH

  24. Hong-Chih Kuo, LAD RP

  25. Mark Reynolds, Ari 3B


A lot of them are unconventional and a lot of them are way too high for the general fantasy rankings (who in their right mind would pick Slowey ahead of Dunn or Crain ahead of Chien-Ming Wang and who are Jorge Campillo and Hong-Chin Kuo?) but could you expect anything different from me? So far so good, I might need to make a few adjustments in the future, but I am fairly happy. The last time I participated in fantasy baseball was about 8 years ago :)

Any fantasy baseball fans out there that would like to give me some input?
