Hansons Homies (Kissinger):

Starting Lineup - 10th
Like Hull, this team has a ton of speed. Graded out as 2nd in the league. Also like Hull, most other things graded around the bottom, including last in HRs. OPS did grade out around the middle of the pack. Good thing here is, there is more than enough speed on this team and a trade in the future can bring more balance to this lineup. At the same time, Miguel Cabrera is a guy that can sometimes win you categories single handedly.
Players I like - Cabrera, Sandoval, A Rod
Players I don't like - Choo, Soto, Crisp

Pitching - 11th
Very top heavy. See below.
Players I like - Verlander, Zimmerman, Marcum
Players I don't like - Kuroda, Masterson, Liriano, Dickey, Francisco Cordero (lulz autopick)

Bench - 2nd
I really, really like this bench. Love the upside in Mesoraco. Seth Smith, Austin Jackson, Carlos Lee, Aviles. These are all guys that can help out the lineup on a weekly basis.

Overall - 10th (9.55)
As you can see, this team and Hull were ranked very close to each other. Autodrafting is a bitch.

Did we have 3 teams autodrafting? I did get a friend in there after the first hour to start drafting for me

TBD (Caple?):

Starting Lineup - 7th
This lineup is very well balanced, as it came in between 4th and 8th in all hitting categories. Should mean that the team will be in contention for all categories each and every week. Other than Pujols, there are no other top studs, but it is a team filled with a bunch of really good fantasy players.
Players I like - Holliday, Kinsler, Cuddyer
Players I don't like - Pence, Freese

Pitching - 8th
There are some really good pitchers on this team, but not a whole lot of upside maybe outside of Pineda. Filled with a bunch of veterans in both the starting rotation and relief pitching that you just know what you are going to get from them, not that there is anything wrong with that. It is a safe pitching group.

Players I like - Lee, Lester, Nathan
Players I don't like - Shields, Jackson, Billingsly, Johnson

Bench - 11th
Again, a bunch of meh. Not a lot of upside here, just some older veterans who aren't going to provide a whole lot of production to the team.

Overall - 9th (7.85)
Not a lot of youth on this team, which would hurt down the line in a keeper league. As for now, this team should be competitive.
