Fantasy Baseball!

I got a new baseball book a couple days ago, Fantasyland.  It’s a great read, I’m already 100 pages into it.  Pretty much it’s non fiction book about fantasy baseball.  Anyone that enjoys baseball and fantasy baseball should give it a read, it’s a fun book .

So after 1 year away from keeper league fantasy baseball, I’m back on the wagon, or is that off the wagon?  My best friend Doug who I’ve been in a fantasy baseball league of some quality since high school started a league with another friend of ours last year, after the previous keeper league we did died.  Well one of the guys that is a mutual acquaintance  ended up dropping out, and Doug asked me if I wanted his team.  After thinking about it for awhile I decided to take over the team.  Unfortunately this team will require a big make over to become the type of team I’m proud to call my own.  This is what I got to work with so far.  Take into consideration that this is the full roster, of which I have to select 17 to keep by next weekend.  Those that are bold are the ones I’ve currently decided to keep (things may change).  But I don’t know all the league rules regarding positions to make a completely educated decision yet.
