On Tuesday, I went to Mankato to draft a fantasy team for a pitchers pool. Wins are the only statistic that count in this league.

I would've picked Johan Santana first, but I didn't get the first pick in the draft. I'm kind of a homer in fantasy drafts, but as it is, I don't have any Twins on my team. Here's who I've got:

- Daisuke Matsuzaka, Boston;

- Greg Maddux, San Diego;

- Mark Buehrle, Chicago White Sox;

- Kevin Millwood, Texas;

- two guys I can't remember off hand (probably a bad sign, but I'll add their names to the list later);

- Anibal Sanchez, Florida;

- Bartolo Colon, Cleveland; 

- and Mark Prior, Chicago Cubs (alternate).

What do you think? In a league of about a dozen guys, I'm going to get smoked, right? I have a few solid guys, but I also know a lot of things have to fall into place for this to work out.

By the way, the rules are as follows: We get to draft eight guys and an alternate. At the all-star break, everyone drafts one more pitcher to be an alternate. If you want the alternates' stats to count, you have to use a roster move. And you only get two roster moves a year. (I like the ultra low-maintenance leagues.)
