What's in Disco's Ball(s)?

Hey, what's goin' on big dawgs? As I stated in my first post, I will be dissecting one of my fantasy teams this year, to help show you what to do and what not to do with your fantasy teams, in order to win the 'Ship. Remember, email me suggestions reguarding my team and rankings! Moreover, I will have my SP and RP rankings by the end of the week.

The team I will be dissecting will be my team in the FBE Writer's League, where 13 of FBE's writers are participating to see who is really the best writer. My team is Discoball and I will put a link the league on my links side bar. Monday, February 26 was the draft and this is how I did (drafting in the 11 position out of 13)....

Round 1(11)-Lance Berkman-This pick was step one in my "Berkman Manuever"
Round 2(16)-Grady Sizemore-I finished my manuever by drafting an OF. I plan on using Berky as an OF, so I now have 2 great OF and I can draft a solid 1b late
Round 3(37)-Miguel Tejada- Was best SS left with Hanley, Jeter, and J-Roll gone
Round 4(42)-Robinson Cano-This pick solidified my MI
Round 5(63)-Mariano Rivera-All I need to say is Enter Sandman
Round 6(68)-C.C. Sabathia-I believe he will be good this year and top tier SP's were already gone
Round 7(89)-Corey Patterson-I finished off my OF with a guy who will get me SB's with Grady and has good upside
Round 8(94)-Dan Haren-Good WHIP in first two seasons and Chris Young went right before him
Round 9(115)-Chris Ray-With him I have 2 solid closers, so I am feeling good here
Round 10(120)-Ervin Santana-I'm not a big fan of this pick, but I needed SP and he was the best there
Round 11(141)-I wanted to get Edwin E. later, but he was drafted early, so I got Tracy and I expect good things
Round 12(146)-Lyle Overbay-You know what you will get with Overbay and the "get" is pretty good...probably .300/20/80/80/5
Round 13(167)-Mark Buehrle-He is in a contract year and '06 was an anomaly in his young, outstanding career
Round 14(172)-Nomar Garciaparra-I now have good 1b depth which will help me in trades...I just pray Nomar stays healthy
Round 15(193)-Russell Martin-I wanted to get Estrada later, but there was no I wanted in any position besides Martin
Round 16(198)-Taylor Tankersley-I got my 3rd closer while people were drafting regular RP...I guess they forgot about him-he is a great sleeper
Round 17(219)-Rafael Soriano-All closers were gone now, so I went with a guy will get me K's
Round 18(224)-Jonny Gomes-If he rebounds, he is a solid OF backup
Round 19(245)-I am disgusted by his WHIP, but I mean, he did start the All-Star Game!
Round 20(250)-Kevin Millwood-To win, you need more than the required # of SP, thus the reason I took Millwood
Round 21(271)-Wilson Betemit-He has great flex and can shine with playing time, plus he has been falling really late in drafts
Round 22(276)-Cliff Lee-If he goes back to '05 form at the ripe age of 29, this is a steal
Round 23(297)-Johnny Estrada-I maximize my team by taking 2 strong players, at a weak position and it won't hurt to drop him
Round 24(302)Craig Monroe-A guy with 92 RBI's fell to pick 302! Plus, utlimate backup Rich Aurilia was just taken
Round 25(323)Brandon League-Duaner Sanchez was just taken, so I settled for League who will sport good stats outside K's
