lol you actually took the time to pre-order 116 guys? i just went in and did the draft with no homework done. pretty satisfied with my team anyway. btw you get more of an advantage drafting as soon as possible. most people tend to forget about their sleeper picks.

btw IROD and piazza should be ranked way higher. the best 2 catchers in the game in a STACKED lineup can only mean good.

giambi should be higher. he is a lefty in yankee stadium with only 314' to go down the RF line. same goes for ventura who i think will bebound this year. also look for alfonzo from the mets to rebound.

if you dont know, you guys might like www.wallstreetsports.com


its like a stock market game but they use professional atheletes/teams..

it gets addictive if you keep up with it

it only too me about 30 minutes. i pre-ranked for an auto pick draft and a real draft. i don't mind doing it..its actually kinda fun being such a baseball fan and having played fantasy baseball for the past 4 years.

catchers are so injury prone though. if u would have picked IROD high in the last two year you would be fucked. plus he has creaky knees having been a catcher for the last 11 years or so.

Interesting list. Here are my thoughts.

Helton should be #1. If anybody gets a Triple Crown anytime soon, it will be him.

Sosa should be lower unless he stops striking out so much.

Giambi and Delgado definitely should be higher up. They should be MVP candidates this year.

Be careful about Pujols, he might suffer the sophmore jinx.

Bret Boone should be much higher.

I say Matt Morris is a going to contend for the Cy Young.

How can Jeromy Burnitz be left out?

Shannon Stewart is going to be good this year.

Craig Biggio should rebound from his off year.

I think Maddux is almost washed up.

Too many names to analyze completely. I hope I provided some insight.

Frank Thomas #110?
If this was the top 100 baseball players in history list, Thomas would be in the top 50.

Can these guys touch their toes without bending their knees?
