The first 14 rounds of this draft were done on Facebook so that we didn't have rosters with 30 autopicked players. 14 rounds took about 14 days. NEVER DO A FACEBOOK DRAFT IF YOU HAVE OVER 6 LEAGUE MEMBERS!!!
I have two major fantasy baseball teams, the rest are just fillers. One is AL-Only on ESPN, the other, which I shall mention here, is a mixed-league Roto league with 12 members and 6x6 scoring (Runs,RBI,HR,OBP,SLG,NetSB and Wins,Saves,ERA,WHIP,Ks,Holds) and a 30 acquisition limit.
And this is what I drafted: (People who I have already replaced will have replacements in ()

Round 26: David Riske
Round 27: Matt Diaz
Round 28: Brian Bannister
Round 29: Adam Jones
Round 30: Shawn Hill (put on D.L. replaced by Peter Moylan)
Analysis: Most of the picks I'm very happy with with the possible exception of about 3. I regret having taken Matt Cain over Rich Hill, but I was feeling sick that night and didn't want to hold up the draft. Lester over Harden now looks like a complete bust and Garciaparra is a useless pick, especially when I went against my draft strategy of hogging DHs, where I could've taken Millar. Everything else I am happy with, even Konerko over Smoltz, at least for now...
And Adam Jones in round 29 is the steal of the draft bar NONE.
