Strange Fantasy Draft

I took part in a draft tonight, and here are the first two rounds of picks:

Round: 1
(1) Alex Rodriguez 3B
(2) Hanley Ramirez SS
(3) David Wright 3B
(4) Matt Holliday LF
(5) Miguel Cabrera 3B
(6) Ryan Howard 1B
(7) Vladimir Guerrero RF
(8) Jose Reyes SS
(9) Jimmy Rollins SS -- my pick
(10) Ryan Braun 3B

Round: 2
(11) Chase Utley 2B
(12) Prince Fielder 1B -- my pick
(13) Johan Santana SP
(14) Derek Jeter SS
(15) Troy Tulowitzki SS
(16) David Ortiz DH
(17) Jake Peavy SP
(18) Carl Crawford LF
(19) Albert Pujols 1B
(20) Carlos Lee LF

The strangest pick I've ever seen was Felix Hernandez third overall a few years back, but this was the strangest overall. These oddball picks continued for the remainder of the draft, by the way.

What are some of the biggest overreaches you've seen in a fantasy draft?

That's pretty whacked
Jeter 13th overall and Tulo 14th? I guess it is the same person who picked Vlad 7th overall. I can't believe Reyes slipped out the top 5. In a league with some of my friends, I thought it was ridiculous that one of my friends picked Tulowitzki 13th overall. Apparently not everyone thinks so.

P.S. we still need more players for the BBB fantasy league. If you are interested, make a post and I'll invite you.

Filling the spots
I think we should post about the league on a few Blue Jays message board, or maybe even on the Fake Teams site (SB Nation's fantasy site). Also, will the draft date change since Hugo's out of town? Or did he say he can make it regardless?

great idea mark
I posted over at Blue Jay Way in their fantasy baseball forum, and at Fake Teams.  We may need to move the draft date back to allow for new folks to sign up.
