Round Player Pos. Wins/Losses Win % Draft Notes Highlights Grade Comments
1 Pujols 1B 90-66 0.577 I had him as the top hitter on my draft list. Bonds - a better hitter -- was less desired due to the 2 injury rating This cell is not large enough. I would go through the leader boards and he would be leading or be in second in almost every category that mattered. A++ League MVP. He excelled in all areas. Base stealing, defense as well as hitting. 7 homers short of the triple Crown.
2 Loaiza SP     I didn’t really see any other choice. Not that I minded the selection. He was the 6th starter selected and finished as the 5th or 6th best. He and Mulder were the last of the top grade Z's w/G's.   B He pitched well. His numbers don’t necessarily reflect it. He ate up innings and he faced the tough starters.
3 Edmonds CF 79-57 .581 I had him as the top CF - games were a factor but I planned on taking Bradley to fill in the games missed. The only real disappointment on the team. Near the tops in the league in runners left on base and top 10 in GIDP. I expected the DP's as he had runners on all the frickin time C- All the CF were terrible. I didn’t expect Beltran and Edmonds to be this bad though. I would say he was the largest underachiever on the team and maybe in the league as a whole. But he had a strong finish and had the best Runs created/ game for CF
4 Sanders OF 62-54 .534 There weren't many corner OF with power and speed/SB (Sheffield, Sanders, Abreu & Mondesi). My choice was Sanders and he didn’t let me down. Games 32 thru 55 for Sanders 22 games. 34-90. 7 2b 14 HR 18 r 40 RBI A- He actually went ahead of Pujols in homers at one point - then he was injured 4 times and missed 37 games and was 2 PA away from qualifying in the top 10 in a lot of categories.
5 R Soriano RP     Steve was correct when this was the largest sigh heard during the draft. If someone else would have selected him - I am not certain who I would have selected for this pick as I had RP targeted. The last of the high grade relievers.   A- Probably more valuable as a playoff pitcher than regular season. He would only pitch once or twice during a 5 game stretch but could pitch 3 times during the 7 game playoff series. He had my two playoff victories.
6 Halladay SP     Double Z? He pitched like one in all the replays (2.0 walks/9) finished 3rd behind Redman and Loiaza. He started the season 6-1 C He led the league in run support. His final numbers are decent but considering the run support he should have finished with a better winning percentage.
7 Webb SP     I wanted the G and didn’t mind the non Z +0 move. Back to back shutouts C- I didn’t have too much faith in him until he had back to back shutouts and 24 consecutive scoreless innings.
8 A Soriano 2B 88-63 .583 I liked the power/speed/SB.   C+ Fortunately, he could bat 7th and I didn’t need to hit him higher in the lineup with his low OBP.
9 Bradley OF 60-41 .594 He is exactly the guy needed to supplement Edmonds and Sanders. .93 runs scored per games played. Pujols was .84 A Too bad he couldn’t play more. The lineup was the best when he started.
10 Borowski RP     mid grade w/ Z & G. innings and games are decent   B He had a decent season. He had a poor stretch midseason otherwise he pitched pretty well.
11 Walker OF 83-57 .593 I wanted the walks and OBP Bradley scored more one more run but he and Walker were a pretty deadly 1 2 B Led the league for LF for assists and DP. Started slowly finished well
12 Young 3B 92-62 .597 I had choices at this point. I almost took Blalock but stayed with the switch hitter and games played.   C Never really stood out as a slugger. His runs/game were decent for someone selected in the 12th. Last in Defense @ 3B. Best winning pct of the regulars.
13 Stairs DH 67-52 .563 I almost took Mientky here but I went with the power.   B- He had some game winning and game tying homers. I wish I could find out how many. RBI total was low then he had a great finish to fall in the correct RBI range.
14 Williams SP     the last of the 11G. J4 be damned. Shutout Springfield in opening series D+ He struggled to keep his strikeouts per 9 higher than walks per 9. He pitched well occasionally but not frequently enough.
15 Fuentes RP     Lefty with a lot of games and innings. +3 move   C Great then awful. Great then awful. He came in a lot with a base runner that could steal.
16 Johnson C 63-45 .583 Power with defense He hit well from the 9 spot all season B+ 60 + RBI's from the 9 spot as a 2/3 games performer. What more could you ask?
17 Jeter SS 64-50 .561 The last of the starting SS. Limited games and limited SL abilities.   C I don’t know. What do you demand from your 8th hitter? He did well hitting in the 2 hole as a DH late in the season.
18 Ross C 25-14 .641 Great power with moderate defense. Good backup   B 2nd Catcher. He caught a lot vs Chris and some vs Keith as I thought they had the worst stealing teams. He had a better throwing pct than Johnson.
19 Wilson C 11-10 .524 Great defense. Some power He was 2nd on the team in SH C Pinch Runner. Started occasionally. 50% opponent stolen base pct. 6 sac hits in 45 PA's
20 Worrell RP     Games with a G   C I had no faith in him but he was near the top on my team for inherited runners
21 Bordick IF 30-16 .652 3 IF positions. I wanted the 9 at SS Ripped a two out, two run double off Mota C He did what I expected. Not much offense. Filled in for Soriano during his injuries.
22 Rolls 3B     Thought he would make a great PR/Defensive Replacement. 2 PA. HBP and sacrifice bunt. inc. I realized at the end of the draft that Jeter could get injured for and extended period of time and that I would have to play Bordick. So, I decided to get rid of Rolls at the 40 game mark.
23 Fe Rod RP     I wanted another reliever with a G 8/9 in save situations. 8-2 record B- Who would have expected this performance from this guy?
24 May SP     Lefty 10. I decided to limit his innings from day one. 3 shutouts. Any extra innings out of him was a blessing C Occasionally had a big game. Otherwise, he pitched better than expected during his very limited innings.
25 Ford OF 15-9 .625 A final piece to the OF/DH puzzle. He could also play CF He had some great games. He batted 1 thru 5 in the lineup. A- He had some big hits during his 34 games. It seemed his only limitation was games played.
26 Mateo RP     Double Z?? 2 innings per appearance? Why not?   B- Everyone must have been scared away from his L home run rating. I was surprised he was still available this late. He was a great addition to my existing bullpen.
27 Milton XP     Lefty with a Z   C What can you say about your 6th starter? He used up all his games and innings.
FA Draft Guillen SS/3B 19-15 .559 I wanted the SS/3B combination so I wouldn’t have to start Bordick if Jeter was injured. Jeter was injured twice. Guillen received the bulk of the starts @ SS   C- He didn’t really do too much. Neither did Jeter when Jeter started either. I did not have too high of expectations.
Xtra SP Gregg XXP     Milton ran out of starts. The best of the worst???   inc. I don’t think he went more than 5 innings in any of his starts. 7th starter.
