- As you can see, I am loaded with speed with Grady Sizemore, B.J. Upton, Chone Figgins, Dexter Fowler and Cameron Maybin all able to steal at least 25 bases and Upton and Figgins over 40.

-In a few small moments of panic after noticing I was on the clock with second remaining, I selected Lance Berkman, B.J. Upton, Neftali Feliz and Stephen Drew. Drew comes with good upside at Shortstop and Feliz brings starter or elite relief upside.  Berkman should be good for 25-30 home runs with an average around .280.

- My starters are all high upside and if a few of them can either get back on track or pitch close to their potential, I could have a lethal core of pitchers.

-Also, I love Hideki Matsui and his upside in LAA. Especially in round 22.

- Justin Upton is good.
