It's also about picking guys that aren't as injury prone... that should be a consideration. Of course, it depends on each situation and there are injuries that are more deadly and greatly impact one's team more than mine.

true, but my risk on K Grif last year turned out pretty positive except he went down at the end of the year and I really had to scramble to replace him for the playoffs.

True buddy.... but you got him at a much lower draft position. So it was good value and less risk. I think you should balance the injury "risks" with some safe bets. ie: Hideki Matsui has never missed a game. Miguel Tejada doesn't either.

Don't get me wrong, there are some guys worth taking a chance with at the right spots.

knock knock.... just for this talk.

he probably found some new undetectable drug . . i wouldn't be surprised if he hits .250 with 10 home runs by june .

but ditto about last year. also, remember last year when everyone was anticipating when barry bonds was going to return, and i forgot who kept him on the bench forever ... i was the crazy one to try to trade for him, but trade talks faltered on the 23rd hour.

i like to always draft late, get more in scouting during spring training and yeah the whole WBC thing is wack, they should limit age like in Olympics... U-23s only or something.
