It was fantasy baseball draft night, and I know hearing someone talk about his fantasy baseball team is about as exciting as watching dry paint (yes, it's
past the point of the action of the paint drying), but I beg your indulgence. Plus it's my blog.
We get to carry over 7 players from season to season, so that's fun but hard, as it's sometimes tough to kiss young guys goodbye you know will be good but can't hold over people good now. So I had Brandon Webb as a rookie, Tim Lincecum as a rookie, etc. but a lot of good they do me now. The freezers also mean you don't start each year's draft until the best (supposedly) 84 players are already off the board. That's a tad unsettling.
In the meantime, in draft order, here are your 2009 Oberkfellows:

Themes? Mostly young with upside. Lots and lots of starters early, as that's what I had little of. Some position flexibility. Too many Braves starting pitchers for a Mets fan. A team
Baseball Prospectus could love, I think.
