Double G Sports (check out his blog, it’s great) kindly invited me to join his fantasy baseball league “Battle Of The Blogs” and we just had our draft.
It is a 20 team H2H (head to head) league on ESPN.com, with a six player keeper rule which means six players will carry over to next season fantasy season.
In the draft I had the first pick, and used it for NYY Alex Rodriguez, partly because of Albert Pujols has been bothered again by back spasms which are a concern, and partly out of loyalty.
Arod is healthy and will put up monster numbers this season, as he always has consistently. Automatically a keeper so please no time for negative Arod comments as he is on my team for better or for worse.
Any suggestion would be appreciated, as after multiple mock drafts my team is not my ideal and I could use the help.
