Great year as always, guys!
Can’t argue with most of the selections in your teams, especially guys like Byrnes. I traded him away in an NL-only league mid-season, expecting his usual 2nd-half slump…boy was I wrong about that! Thankfully, it didn’t cost me the title!!
I do think it’s a little harsh to name Alex Gordon as the all-disappointment 3B – it’s not his fault that people expected him to do miracles in his rookie year.I might have gone for someone like Rolen, who was pretty lousy this year when healthy (and he still had almost 400ABs).
Also surprised that a certain OF from the Braves didn’t make the team!
Anyway, thanks for all the analysis & advice, and looking forward to hearing the 2008 list of 12!

Chris, Andruw Jones did come into the discussion, but he came with a lower pick than the other guys and, other than AVG, didn’t really fall that far where I personally expected him to be. Check out his numbers compared to Bay’s, and consider that Bay was a 2nd rounder, and that’s a big difference…
Thanks,
Cory
