I'd make some suggestions but I haven't prepared for my drafts yet...
Either way, you'll never see Grady Sizemore on my team...I think he has bust written all over him this year.
and Albert Pujols should be the #1 pick, not Hanley Ramirez.
That dude can say whatever he wants about SB's in H2H, it's definitely the one offensive category worth sacrificing.

Well of course a guy like Pujols is a no-brainer. But that's talking about a .340+, 40+ HR guy. That's a no-brainer. But Ramirez will be neck and neck with guys like David Wright and Ryan Braun and Texeira, and I say go with Ramirez. Sizemore will line up against guys like Ryan Howard or Carlos Lee, and you gotta go with Sizemore.
Unless there is an enormous difference, I try to steer clear of 0 steal guys as much as possible. I think the easiest way to compete in SBs is to load up on 15 SB guys like Braun or Wright or Berkman. I don't agree with sacrificing a category. SBs is the easiest way to steal a category without even trying. Even if you don't have a Pierre or Tavarez (and you should NEVER go with guys like this), you can still end up ranked in the top 3 or 4 in SBs if almost every guy on your roster is capable of about 15 steals. And that's not hard to do at all and it would not come at a sacrifice to HRs, RBIs, or AVG.
