just thought i'd share with all of you a farm draft the results so far for the farm draft in my league. avaliable players are 2008 amateurs, 2008 intl signees (to minor league deals) and the odd prospect that wasnt hyped up until past the pickup deadline in 2008 (i.e. holland, flowers). it's a 16 team league, deep league, h2h, pts (sabathia  and lincecum was more valuable than pujols last yr, but unless they're having a cy type of year good hitters have more pts than most aces).

players taken:

1. Justin Smoak

2. Pedro Alvarez

3. Eric Hosmer

4. Tim Beckham

5. Gordon Beckham

6. Yonder Alonso

7. Buster Posey

8. Brett Wallace

9. Dayan Viciedo

10. Aaron Hicks

11. Brett Lawrie

12. Kyle Skipworth

13. Yorman rodriguez

14. Brian Matusz

15. Derek Holland

16. Michael Inoa

17. Conor Gillaspie

18. Casey Kelly

19. Tim Meville

20. Ethan Martin

21. Rafael Rodriguez

22. Tyler Flowers

plz note that the first 13 picks were between 3 teams, two who dislike pitchers. gillaspie was taken by an owner who was not prepared (as drafted was with only 6hrs notice pushed forward 2 weeks).
