    Since the draft is only two weeks away, I'm going to be holding a live draft lotto to determine the order in which we pick. It will take place in ClutchCity chat tomorrow (Saturday) evening at 9 pm EST. Names will be picked randomly out of a hat (no frozen ballots). If you can make it, drop by.

    :)

    You won't be pulling these names out of an Expos hat will you? :D

    I think the Expos hat would be frozen tho. They've been in deep freeze for quite some time.

    BTW, this is going to be the first baseball league I have participated in. What is a good strategy for the draft?

    Draft the best players:D

    The best advice I can give you is print out a list of player rankings from The Sporting News: http://fantasy.sportingnews.com/baseball/home.html

    Pitching is very important in fantasy baseball. Problem is, after Randy Johnson, Pedro Martinez, Curt Schilling and Roy Oswalt, Tim Hudson, Barry Zito, along with a few others, it's a crapshoot. These are basically the only pitchers you can count on consistently year in and year out.

    Saves are important as well, so if you can land a top notch closer who gets a lot of saves, it is the same as having an ace starting pitcher.

    Finn* -- you forgot Jose Lima in your pitcher list.

    SSG -- send the cheque to the "Keep the Expos in Montreal Foundation" ;)

    Bahad purchased some fantasy software a while ago. We're running the league through that.

    http://www.rotoleaguebaseball.com/~behad/index.php is the league's homepage.

    Castor, I can host more than one league. If you want to form your own, get it together and let me know.

    After baseball season, I'm hoping to take this to the next level, with a small entry fee and cash prizes. It'll be a lot more competitive knowing you can win money
