Pujols Goes First			Quick Notes The first 10 picks of the draft went mostly as expected: 1. Albert Pujols 2. Johan Santana 3. David Ortiz 4. José Reyes 5. Alfonso Soriano 6. Ryan Howard 7. Álex Rodríguez 8. Chris Carpenter 9. Derrek Lee 10. Chase Utley One interesting snub was Jim Thome. Despite his 42 home-run season, he remained on waivers for a short while before he was picked up.
The grass has been cut, season tickets have been ordered, and the teams are set. Following the conclusion of Sunday’s draft, the teams are now ready to enter the regular season. As expected, Albert Pujols was selected with the first pick by Ryan Irwin and The Great Hambino. However, one of the more interesting picks of the draft was the selection of Derrek Lee in the first round. Lee only managed to hit eight home runs in 2006 but it is rather obvious that Colin Walcavich, the Beavers’ manager, believes Lee will return to his 2005 form, in which he hit forty-six home runs and knocked in 107 runs. In other note-worthy news, the Jersey Jesters selected Ken Griffey, Jr. with the 173^rd pick overall. Following his selection, he was reminded that the year was in fact 2007. John Migliori, manager, was rather flabbergasted upon receiving this news. He was later rushed to the hospital as he hyperventilated and suffered through a panic attack after he was unable to find neither Harold Baines nor Harold Reynolds in the draft pool. He is currently listed as being in stable condition and should be fully recovered by Opening Day. Albert Pujols hits one of his many home runs
“Roe Pitching-Obsessed”	“Waiver-Wire Frenzy”	“Dice-K is ready to go”
Doug Roe’s squad is loaded… with pitchers. He invested the greater part of his draft in top-line pitching, hoping that Johan Santana, Carlos Zambrano, and Brandon Webb will carry the load for his club. When asked to comment, Roe stated that he “… saved $500 on his car insurance.”	Kerry Wood, Lyle Overbay, and Jim Thome are a few of the many players that changed places following the beginning of free agency. Surprisingly, many stars remain undrafted and without teams, like Frank Thomas, Jim Edmonds, and Brian Giles.	The Beavers ace, Daisuke Matsuzaka, is ready to make his presence known in fantasy leagues and is proving indication that America is not ready for him. Matsuzaka declined comment when asked about his prediction for the upcoming season, but his actions are speaking much louder than his words.
