There's my team. Alot of high risk/high reward types in there. I think this team has the potential to be dominant, or a total disaster!

[JCStone7]

I really like your IF spots. Peavy/Smoltz should be nice but the others are like you said risky.

[milbraves]

Yeah, I figured if I was taking huge question marks like carpenter and martinez in late rounds, i had to have two great SPs as anchors, which is why i actually drafted three pitchers in the top six. (Smoltz, Peev, and Paps)

[BGarrett7]

Corey Patterson? Yuck.

[milbraves]

Corey Patterson?

I didn't look for SB's until latter rounds. Result: Corey Patterson. :( but, leading off for cincinatti, he might score 85+ runs with Phillips and Dunn behind him.

[milbraves]

i'd say he is the weakest link. i just looked it up, and he hasn't taken a walk yet this spring. He and Chris Carpenter will become fixtures on my bench, if not the waiver wire.

That just won't fly on a Dusty Baker-managed team!

[cjones1999]

BTW, the trade was rejected.
