Roto Draft Strategy

Ok rotoballers, I was wondering if you would share your draft strategy with me.

I think it would be interesting to see how well you perform to plan, and also it
would give me some ideas.  My last couple of years in the draft pit did not turn 
out as well as I expected.  I need to know why.  Certainly your initial plans 
will be foiled as Prep takes a break from slurping girlie drinks at Starbucks and 
realizes that Placido Polanca is still on the table, snaking you in  round 12, or 
Terry grabs Curtis Granderson in round 2, spoiling your 5th round srategy, Sobo 
takes all of the Hispanic pitchers because he thinks they are supposed to be 
Tamales.  Al of course likes to draft the Yankees that he hates, assuming he will 
be able to trade one for a stinking Met, just because.  Andy will be going after 
those young sleeper/breakout candidates; the sleepier the better.  Gabes is going 
to draft Willie Mays and Mickey Mantle, and all of their act-alikes.  Maybe John 
Wayne too.  Fox will draft all of his outfielders first, cause he thinks he is so 
wise to be able to find the diamonds in the rough in late round Pitcher and 
Infield positions.  Hans is focused on renaming his team, but will still load up 
with those midwestern players, maybe even Blauser.  Jack's going to get an extra 
catcher and put him in the UT slot, just because he likes to watch them squat.  
Me, I'm thinking of going with all 27 year-olds- oh wait that's the cheerleaders, 
not baseball players.  I'll just do whatever draft buddy Prep doesn't- that 
should assure me of success.  I'm counting on you all to stick with your plans, 
study those stats, and good luck recovering from my stunning selections 
throughout the draft.  You'll need it.

Put the bong down. Actually, I am thinking I may not even buy a magazine this 
year. I want this to be a level playing field for you and the others.
 
My draft strategy essentially involves kicking your ass and then enjoying 
another plate of ribs at the Mines on your dime. But don't share that secret 
with just anyone.
