I sent you in pm

Wow , Not many people online at the moment. It's like a ghost town on here.

Thank you , I needed help with that.

Okay don't worry I found out how

How do I get a picture on here?

i got 154... i suck at that game... :\ lol

First Round
1. Rams select Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma
Oklahoma's Sam Bradford has the physical gifts, the intangibles
and the size (6-5, 213) to be a franchise quarterback for St. Louis.
2. Lions select Ndamukong Suh, DT, Nebraska
Nebraska's Ndamukong Suh is the obvious choice at No. 2 overall.
Whether it's an end or a tackle, the Lions need help here.
3. Bucs select Gerald McCoy, DT, Oklahoma
The Bucs are going back to a one-gap scheme up front.
They need someone who can beat double teams and blitz.
4. Redskins select Russell Okung, OT, Oklahoma State
Chris Samuels' retirement leaves the team without a legitimate starting tackle,
so it needs a starter and another tackle worth developing. Okung fits.
5. Chiefs select Eric Berry, S, Tennessee
The Chiefs lack a player in the middle of the defense
who can make game-changing plays. Berry provides versatility.
6. Seahawks select Trent Williams, OT, Oklahoma
Williams is a better fit for Seattle's blocking scheme than Iowa's
Bryan Bulaga, and he should flourish under Walter Jones' tutelage.
7. Browns select Bruce Campbell, OT, Maryland
Campbell is as athletically gifted as anyone at the position
in the last decade. He just needs to prove to be more consistent.
8. Raiders select Jimmy Clausen, QB, Notre Dame
The Raiders have JaMarcus Russell, Bruce Gradkowski, Charlie Frye
and now Kyle Boller on the roster, but none is a proven bonafide starter.
9. Bills select Anthony Davis, OT, Rutgers
Tackle is the top priority, and Davis has the athleticism to
be a top pass blocker. He's got all the skills to flourish.
10. Jaguars select Derrick Morgan, DE, Georgia Tech
The Colts pass rush had a league-low 14 sacks, and Aaron Kampman
is coming back from a torn ACL. Morgan can play end and linebacker.
11. Broncos select Demaryius Thomas, WR, Georgia Tech
Thomas has some uncertainties because of his foot injury and the
offensive scheme he played in at Georgia Tech. But he has size.
12. Dolphins select Mike Iupati, G, Idaho
Iupati is very aggressive off the ball, and that initial
quickness could open holes for the talented Dolphins backs.
13. 49ers select Joe Haden, CB, Florida
Haden, a hitter, will support the pass rush. He
has the best ball skills of any corner in this draft.
14. Seahawks select C.J. Spiller, RB, Clemson
Spiller has a unique ability to contribute to offense and
special teams. The best outside runner in the draft class.
15. Giants select Rolando McClain, ILB, Alabama
Rolando McClain, Sean Weatherspoon and Brandon Spikes are
all going to have an immediate impact. They'll start right away.
16. Titans select Jason Pierre-Paul, DE, South Florida
Paul has better initial quickness than Morgan, and can pass
rush, but teams will question his maturity level and his ability.
17. 49ers select Bryan Bulaga, OT, Iowa
Bulaga is a high-character guy and technically sound. The
thing that is going to scare people is that arm length.
18. Steelers select Patrick Robinson, CB, Florida State
Robinson is a physical corner who likes to hit and will support the
rush. Press corner who has the best coverage skills of this year's class.
19. Falcons select Sergio Kindle, DE/OLB, Texas
Kindle can rush the quarterback, and defend against the inside
run. He'll pursue and tackle his target, if they beat his coverage.
20. Texans select Brian Price, DT, UCLA
The best part of Price's game is his initial quickness off
the ball, and the Texans need a quick pass rusher.
21. Bengals select Brandon Graham, DE, Michigan
The Bengals need another top-shelf pass rusher to back up
Antwan Odom, and Graham can recognize the run and pass.
22. Patriots select Jared Odrick, DT, Penn State
Odrick can play either a 3-4 end or a 4-3 tackle. The departure
of Richard Seymour was never addressed, so Odrick makes sense.
23. Packers select Thaddeus Gibson, OLB, Ohio State
Gibson's pass rush is his most valuable asset, and he's pretty close
to Kindle in terms of athleticism and pressuring the quarterback via blitz.
24. Eagles select Maurkice Pouncey, C, Florida
Out of the centers in this year's draft, Pouncey dominates in
pass blocking, run blocking, and strength. He's very versatile.
25. Ravens select Rob Gronkowski, TE, Arizona
Gronkowski is the best blocker in the TE class, and runs well
after the catch. He's got great hands, but he has some holes.
26. Cardinals select Ricky Sapp, DE, Clemson
Sapp is best at pursuing his target and tackling them. The
Cardinals lack depth at end, and Sapp is an intriguing prospect.
27. Cowboys select Taylor Mays, S, USC
The team needs a centerfielder who can be a
playmaker, and that's what Mays will be in Dallas.
28. Chargers select Ryan Mathews, RB, Fresno State
Ryan Mathews is too good to pass up for a team in need of
a primary back for the first time since 2000. The next LaDainian Tomlinson?
29. Jets select Dez Bryant, WR, Oklahoma State
On talent alone, Bryant would be a top five pick but concerns
about his character could drop him to the end of the round.
30. Vikings select Jonathan Dwyer, RB, Georgia Tech
Dwyer is the best inside runner of the draft who was a fullback in
the triple option. Will be a great third down back behind Adrian Peterson.
31. Colts select Dan Williams, DT, Tennessee
Williams is a pure two-gap type of player who could be
a viable No. 3 on the roster at end, and No. 2 at tackle.
32. Saints select Sean Weatherspoon, ILB, Missouri
The Saints could look for a situational pass rusher or a candidate
to help replace SLB Scott Fujita, who left as a free agent last month. 

Relief Pitchers
1. Joe Nathan, Minnesota Twins
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   For most closer, a 2.10 ERA would be a major advancement.
For Nathan, who came off a 1.33 ERA in '08, it was
a step backward. In fact, '09 was the first time Nathan
had an ERA above 1.88 since '05. He improved significantly
in strikeouts, as his 11.67 K/9 rate was highest since 2006.   

2. Mariano Rivera, New York Yankees
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    The future Hall of Famer was as unhittable as
ever in 2009, hurling a sub-2.00 ERA for the sixth time
in his past seven seasons. Rivera got stronger as
the season progressed, recording 21 saves in 22 chances
to go with a microscopic 0.92 ERA after the All-Star break.

3. Jonathan Papelbon, Boston Red Sox
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Papelbon enjoyed just another dominating season
in 2009, holding opposing hitters to a .213 batting average
while striking out over a batter per inning. His production
in the walks department tripled, from 8 in '08 to 24
in '09, but only 6 were issued after the All-Star break.

4. Jonathan Broxton, Los Angeles Dodgers
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    The power righty shut down opponents last season,
holding hitters of the opposition to a .165 batting average
while posting an enormous 13.50 K/9 rate. The Dodgers
stopper lost control at times, as evidenced by his 3.43 BB/9 rate,
but this will not deter owners from picking him early.

5. Joakim Soria, Kansas City Royals
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Over his three seasons in the big leagues, Soria
has compiled a 2.07 earned run average, a 0.97 WHIP and
a 9.98 K/9 rate. If you miss out on the truly elite closer
options, Soria is a great consolation prize who can
be grabbed at a discount rate later than you think.

6. Heath Bell, San Diego Padres
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    The first-time closer started the '09 campaign with
17 consecutive scoreless innings, and wound up throwing
a career-best 10.2 K/9 rate. He looked a little more
human in the second half, blowing five saves to
go along with a 3.90 ERA, but he's one of the best.

7. Francisco Rodriguez, New York Mets
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Following up on his record-breaking 62 save campaign
in '08 for the Angels, the '09 season did not go as
smoothly as planned for the Mets. Rodriguez blew
seven of his 42 save oppurtunities in 2009, and he
posted a career-worst 3.71 ERA. Better luck will come.

8. Brian Wilson, San Francisco Giants
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    In 2009, Wilson fell short of the 41 saves he posted
in 2008, but he progressed in terms of ERA, WHIP and
strikeout total. The righty is clearly comfortable in
the ninth-inning, as he's converted 79 saves in his
first two years on the job. Outstanding after the All-Star break (1.64 ERA, 1.15 WHIP).

9. Andrew Bailey, Oakland Athletics
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    The young righty had no trouble adjusting to
the Major Leagues, as he posted a miniscule 1.84 ERA and
a 0.88 WHIP on his way to earning the 2009 American
League Rookie of the Year Award. Even at 25, Bailey
has proven he belongs in the upper tier of relief pitchers.

10. Carlos Marmol, Chicago Cubs
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     When given the ninth-inning role late in 2009, the
righty posted a 2.84 ERA, converted all nine of his
save oppurtunities, and posted his usual high dose
of strikeouts. Maybe this year, Marmol's stuff and
control come together to rank him among the elite.

11. Jose Valverde, Detroit Tigers
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Detroit's biggest offseason acquisition boasts a
combined 2.84 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 10.26 K/9 rate over
the past three seasons. He clearly belongs among the
elite ranks of closers. Valverde led the National League
in saves in both 2007 and 2008, and will continue success.

12. Rafael Soriano, Tampa Bay Rays
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     The 30-year-old flamethrower was the Atlanta Braves'
closer for most of the 2009 season, converting 27 of
his 31 save oppurtunities while registering a gaudy 12.13 K/9 rate.
He's been battling injuries throughout his career, but
his huge upside outweighs any injury risk in the end.

13. Francisco Cordero, Cincinatti Reds
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Coming off a 2009 season which saw Cordero post
his lowest ERA since 2004, there is no reason to
think that he won't continue to be a reliable closer. One
trend worth noting is his steep drop-off in strikeout rate,
from 9.98 in '08 to 7.83. 34 saves in five of last 7 seasons.

14. David Aardsma, Seattle Mariners
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Aardsma entered the 2009 campaign with zero
career saves to his credit. The hard-throwing righty replaced
struggling Brandon Morrow in mid-May and didn't disappoint,
converting 38 of 42 save chances and striking out
a little over a batter per inning in his first closer stint.

15. Trevor Hoffman, Millwaukee Brewers
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     In his inaugural season with the Brewers, the all-time saves
king allowed opponents to a meager .183 batting average
while posting his first sub-2.00 ERA since 1998. The
42-year-old was able to finish the '09 season with
no setbacks, and he'll be strong again in the 2010 campaign.

16. Huston Street, Colorado Rockies
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Another former Rookie of the Year, Street was
airtight in 2009, as the 26-year-old held opponents bats
to a .194 average while fanning over a batter an
inning. Showing that he has a good track record,
owners should be confident that 2009 was no fluke.

17. Brian Fuentes, Los Angeles Angels
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Although Fuentes managed a ML-leading 48 saves
in his first season with the Angels in 2009, he regressed
in several areas. His ERA spiked from 2.73 in '08 to 3.93
in '09, along with a mediocre 1.40 WHIP and career-low 7.53 K/9 rate.
Fernando Rodney, a 37-save man in 2009, is waiting.

18. Bobby Jenks, Chicago White Sox
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     While not quite the guy who stormed onto the
closer scene in 2005, Jenks is getting the job done,
averaging 35 saves over his first four full seasons with
the White Sox. The right-hander allowed a career-high nine
home runs in '09, and J.J. Putz is was signed for stability.

19. Frank Francisco, Texas Rangers
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Francisco opened the 2009 campaign with 17.2 scoreless
innings, but ended it far from perfect, posting a 5.82 ERA
after the All-Star break while battling pneumonia and
shoulder problems. Francisco had a 3.80 K/BB numbers,
which makes his 3.83 ERA a bit fluky. He also nailed 25 saves.

20. Billy Wagner, Atlanta Braves
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Less than a year removed from Tommy John surgery,
Wagner returned to baseball to post an outstanding 1.72 ERA and
26 strikeouts over 15.2 innings pitched for the New
York Mets and Boston Red Sox. The 38-year-old is
always an injury risk, but his upside is worth the risk.

21. Chad Qualls, Arizona Diamondbacks
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Handling regular closing duties for the first time
in his career, Qualls showcased his pinpoint control (1.21 BB/9) to
convert 24 saves for the D-backs. Unfortunately, a .321 BABIP
and 13.5% HR/FB ratio hid Qualls‘ fantastic skills, giving
you a chance to acquire a top closer at a bargain late-round pick.

22. Michael Gonzalez, Baltimore Orioles
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The 31-year-old is coming off an impressive 2009 campaign
in which he posted a 2.42 ERA, converted 10 saves
and struck out 90 batters over 74.1 innings pitched - and
this was in his first full season back from Tommy John
elbow reconstruction surgery. He'll adjust to the AL.

23. Brad Lidge, Philadelphia Phillies
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Lidge's career took a turn for the worse in 2009, turning
in a ML-leading 11 blown saves and an ugly 7.21 ERA a
year after registering a perfect season. Given the
severe discount you will likely be able to acquire him
at in your draft, he makes for a very good risk/reward purchase.

24. Ryan Franklin, St. Louis Cardinals
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The right-hander didn't allow his first run until mid-May, and
he finished the year with an outstanding 1.92 ERA and
earned an All-Star appearance. He had a very shaky
September (7.56 ERA), and blew a save in a pivotal
Game 2 against the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLDS.

25. Kerry Wood, Cleveland Indians
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The veteran righty was inconsistent on the hill
for his new team in 2009, posting a mediocre 4.25 ERA and
1.38 WHIP. On an encouraging note, Wood showed drastic
improvement in the second half, posting a 2.96 ERA. Manny
Acta has voiced his confidence in Wood, so he's OK.

26. Leo Nunez, Florida Marlins
27. Matt Capps, Washington Nationals
28. Octavio Dotel, Pittsburgh Pirates
29. Brandon Lyon, Houston Astros
30. Kevin Gregg, Toronto Blue Jays

41. Matt Scherzer, Detroit Tigers
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Matt Scherzer will turn 26 midway through the
2010 campaign, so he is approaching the peak of
his career. Scherzer has a career 9.54 K/9 ratio, so
opposing batters are scared to what he can acheive when
he's at his best. Scherzer is a key cog in the Detroit rotation.

42. David Price, Tampa Bay Rays
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      It's safe to say Price had high expectations in '09.
Closing out the '08 ALCS didn't help matters, it just
added to the hype. All and all, Price's first full season
in the bigs was basically par for the course in that
he displayed impressive potential but lacked consistency.

43. Scott Kazmir, Los Angeles Angels (F)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      After a strong run in Tampa Bay for four seasons, Kaz
hit the wall in '09, compiling a 5.92 ERA in 20 starts
for the Rays before his trade to the Angels. The lefty's
problems erose from an overreliance on his fastball, a
pitch that had lacked some velocity from years before.

44. J.A. Happ, Philadelphia Phillies
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     The 2009 National League Rookie of the Year runner-up
will be a popular late-round pitching choice on draft day,
as his transition to the rotation from the bullpen resulted
in a 10-4 record, a 2.99 ERA, and a 1.26 WHIP out
of his starts. Be wary though of Happ's high peripherals.

45. Edwin Jackson, Arizona Diamondbacks (C)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Jackson turned his tantalizing ability into career-best marks
in ERA, innings and strikeouts last season with the
Tigers. But even with improved control, Jackson posted
a 5.07 ERA after the All-Star break, and it remains to
be seen how he'll handle hitter-friendly Chase Field.

46. Daisuke Matsuzaka, Boston Red Sox (F)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Dice-K suffered through a terrible '09 campaign, holding
a 1-5 record and a 8.23 ERA through his second stint
on the DL. It has been suggested that the high number
of innings pitched in his career combined with a
vigorous personal training regimen caused his 2009 injuries.

47. Jorge De La Rosa, Colorado Rockies
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     it was a breakthrough 2009 campaign for De
La Rosa, who helped catapult the Rockies to the
NL Wild Card with a 10-2 record and a 3.46 ERA after
the All-Star break. One concern is his performance at
home, where he was shelled for a 5.21 ERA at Coors.

48. Jonathan Sanchez, San Francisco Giants (C)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     With Sanchez, it's all about the strikeouts. Only
three NL starters had a better K/9 ratio last season.
Though a high walk rate will likely prevent him from
adding much value in the ERA or WHIP categories, Sanchez
is a nice mid-round, high-upside selection in all formats.

49. Ben Sheets, Oakland Athletics (F)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      After sitting out the entire 2009 season while recovering
from elbow surgery, Sheets will return to the bigs
in an Oakland uniform. When healthy, Sheets boasts
both power stuff and power command, as evidenced by
his career marks of 7.60 K/9 and 1.97 Walks/9 rates.

50. John Maine, New York Mets (C)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Injuries plagued the '09 campaign, and he hasn't
been able to find control even when healthy. Still,
he gets plenty of Ks. Expected to be 100 percent by
the start of Spring Training, Maine will look to rediscover
the form that produced 15 wins and a sub-4.00 ERA in '07.

51. Gavin Floyd, Chicago White Sox (C)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Floyd slightly regressed from his stellar '08 campaign,
seeing his wins and innings pitched drop and his
ERA rise. But his K/9 ratio was a career-high (7.6), and
so was his K/BB ratio (2.76). In 2010, he's 27, and
you know what that means. Oh yeah, he's a sleeper.

52. Andy Pettite, New York Yankees
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     The Yankees rewarded Pettite for his strong 2009 season
and superb postseason by inking him to a one-year deal
in December. That means his fantasy owners can
expect the veteran southpaw to receive plenty of
strong run support from an overpowering Yankee offense.

53. Ryan Dempster, Chicago Cubs
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Dempster took a step back last year after a
stellar 2009 campaign, as his win total dropped from 17
to 11 and his ERA balooned by more than half a
run. Still, Dempster reached 200 innings pitched for
the second consecutive year, and maintained K/9 rate.

54. Hiroki Kuroda, Los Angeles Dodgers
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Kiroda suffered through several injuries in 2009, but
he should be a mainstay in the Dodgers' rotation this
season. The right-hander has displayed excellent stuff,
and induces plenty of ground balls, resulting in nearly
identical sub-4.00 ERAs in his first two big league campaigns.

55. Mark Buehrle, Chicago White Sox
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Buehrle will be 31 years old on Opening Day 2010, and
there's a chance he'll have a great year for himself. If
he gets more run support behind him, he can win 15+
games. If Buehrle can avoid his August slump, and
treat every month like its May, he's got 15-6/3.10/150 bagged.

56. Joel Pineiro, Los Angeles Angels (C)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Pineiro was the most talked about free agent pitcher
this offseason, mainly because his 15-12 record and 3.49
earned run average in 2009. He is back in the American
League West, where he posted his best seasons as
a Seattle Mariner from 2001-2003. He is a sleeper in 2010.

57. Rick Porcello, Detroit Tigers(C)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Porcello submitted a formidable rookie season as
a 20-year-old, winning 14 games and holding opposing hitters
to a .267 batting average. Porcello isn't big on strikeouts (4.7 K/9),
but he displayed good command for such a young age,
walking only 2.7 batters every nine innings pitched in '09.

58. Mat Latos, San Diego Padres
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Demonstrating the form that has made him one
of the game's top prospects, Latos motored all the
way from Class A ball in 2007 to San Diego in '09. The
big guy is not only known for his 97-mph fastball, which
yielded 10.5 K/9 rate in the minors, but his outstanding control.

59. Joe Blanton, Philadelphia Phillies (E)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Blanton isn't going to wow anyone with his performance,
but he's proven to be a durable starter capable of
30-plus starts and double-digit wins. The right-hander doesn't
have good control, and he won't match his career-best
163 strikeouts in '09, but he's a big time innings eater

60. John Lannan, Washington Nationals
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      A 25-year-old hurler with two sub-4.00 ERA seasons
under his belt might seem appealing, but he has
many red flags in the peripheral department. The
lefty has a career 4.6 K/9 (89 K in 206.1 IP in '09), and
he isn't big on inducing ground balls or limiting walks .

61. Joba Chamberlain, New York Yankees
62. Ervin Santana, Los Angeles Angels (C)

64. Joe Saunders, Los Angeles Angels
65. Aaron Harang, Cincinatti Reds

80. Justin Duchscherer, Oakland Athletics

Starting Pitchers
1. Tim Lincecum, San Francisco Giants (A)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Two Cy Young awards in first two full seasons says
it all. I really don't need to say anything else, but
I will anyway: he led Major League Baseball with
an outstanding 10.425 strikeouts per nine innings pitched,
and he's worth the $13 milliion he wanted in salary arbitration.

2. Roy Halladay, Philadelphia Phillies (A)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Mr. Reliable should be even more bankable away
from the American League East. Don't get me wrong;
the National League East has its own feared sluggers,
but in 107.1 career innings pitched versus NL East teams,
Halladay has only allowed 39 earned runs, an accumalative 3.28 ERA.

3. Felix Hernandez, Seattle Mariners (A)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    900-plus career innings pitched at age 23 and
finally delivered on Cy Young-caliber talent in the
2009 season. Hernandez is easily the front-runner for
the 2010 American League Cy Young award coming into
the season, especially with better bats in the lineup.

4. Zack Greinke, Kansas City Royals (A)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    American League Cy Young Award winner had 18 outings
with at least five innings pitched and one earned run
or less. Greinke also pitched 24 quality starts with
a MLB-leading 2.16 ERA and 1.073 WHIP, with 242 punchouts.
Greinke is the lone bright spot on a horrid Royals roster.

5. C.C. Sabathia, New York Yankees (A)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Nine straight seasons of 180 or more innings pitched; 3-year avg.
of 18 wins, 219 strikeouts, and a 3.08 ERA. Still worried
about his durability and stamina? Since 2001, Sabathia
has thrown at least 28 starts and hurled 180 innings pitched.
Those so-called issues are myths based upon lies.

6. Justin Verlander, Detroit Tigers
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Major League Baeball strikeout king (269) also
has 17 or more wins in 3 of past 4 seasons. Still worried
about that awful 2008 season (11-17, 4.84 ERA, 1.40 WHIP)? Well,
don't be; Verlander hasn't lost more than 9 games in
any of his other three full seasons. He throws in triple-digits(!).

7. Dan Haren, Arizona Diamondbacks
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Always among top roto starting pitchers but, seriously,
deal him by the All-Star break. In 2009, he was 9-5 with
a 2.01 ERA before the break, but 5-5 with a 4.62 afterwards.
In 2008, a 2.72 before, a 4.18 after. In 2007, 2.30 before,
4.15 after. In 2006...I think I've made the point clear.

8. Johan Santana, New York Mets
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Santana's 2009 numbers would be the envy of
most pitchers, but they marked a step back for the
perennial Cy Young contender. Slowed by a drop in
velocity, the lefty saw his walk and hit rates rise
for the third consecutive year before season-ending surgery.

9. Adam Wainwright, St. Louis Cardinals
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Wainwright notched a career-high 212 punchouts in
2009, taking his career to the next level. In addition, the
right-hander posted a 2.63 ERA and a 1.21 WHIP, stats
that made a bigger impact for fantasy owners considering
he also led the NL with 233 innings. Bona fide ace.

10. Yovanni Gallardo, Millwaukee Brewers
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     After missing almost all of 2008, Gallardo notched 13
wins and the NL's second-highest K/9 rate in 2009. His
history shows that the strikeouts are no fluke, and
Gallardo's 4.6 BB/9 should fall in '10. Expect big things
going forward from this burgeoning ace. Low ERA and WHIP.

11. Cliff Lee, Seattle Mariners
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    After a mercenary half-season stint in the NL in
which he helped drive the Phillies back to the World
Series, Lee makes his return to the AL with the Mariners.
His '08 Cy Young season wasn't a fluke, as the lefty
established career-highs in innings (231.2) and strikeouts (181).

12. Cole Hamels, Philadelphia Phillies (B)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Hamels walk, homer and strikeout rates in '09 were
practically identical to his marks in '08. So what's with
the huge ERA spike (3.09 to 4.32)? A couple of
early season injuries took their toll, but the overall difference
can be attributed to bad luck more than anything else.

13. Jon Lester, Boston Red Sox
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Some guys on ESPN.com think that Lester will
win the American League Cy Young award. I don't know
about that, but that guess isn't too far off. Lester qualified
in the top 10 in six pitching categories in '09, and the
top 5 in two of them (strikeouts and ERA). Innings eater.
     
14. Javier Vazquez, New York Yankees (E)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Vazquez is fresh off a stellar 2009 campaign in
which he posted a career-best 2.87 earned run average
and fanned 238 batters. Of course, those numbers came
in the National League, and his American League track
record in the American League isn't nearly as strong.

15. Chris Carpenter, St. Louis Cardinals
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Carpenter is the ultimate high-risk/high-reward option.
When healthy, few pitchers are more dominant (17 wins, NL-best 2.24
ERA in 2009). But the right-hander missed nearly all
of 2007-08 with elbow and shoulder issues and spent
a month on the DL early last season with an oblique injury.

16. Josh Johnson, Florida Marlins (C)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     He's the best pitcher nobody knows about. The
big hurler's fastball averaged the second-highest velocity
in the NL last season, and his curveball yields lots
of ground balls and strikeouts. Johnson is now over
two years removed from surgery, so there is no risk here.

17. Matt Cain, San Francisco Giants
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     The number two starter in arguably the best 1-2 punch
in starting pitching in Major League Baseball, Cain
led the National League in complete games in '09 (4),
and finished in the top 10 in four other major pitching
categories (ERA, WHIP, innings pitched, and win %).

18. Josh Beckett, Boston Red Sox
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     When observing Beckett's 2009 ERA, it's hard to
believe that he allowed six-plus earned runs on five
separate occasions. Beckett's ERA survived by allowing
one earned run or fewer in 11 of his 32 starts, proving that
he can be the most dominant pitcher on any day.

19. Clayton Kershaw, Los Angeles Dodgers
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Kershaw qualified for the top 5 NL starters in
ERA, K/9 rate and H/9 rate at age 21. The lefty is
wild (4.62 BB/9), and his ERA was mainly luck, so
he's not going to throw a sub-3.00 ERA again. However,
with 500 Major League innings, there's no ceiling here.

20. Tommy Hanson, Atlanta Braves
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Hanson and the Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw did
something that only seven other under-23 pitchers have
done in the past 25 years, posting a 2.89 ERA in
at least 127 innings. The others? They're all out of
baseball. Managers should be careful about mileage on this precious young arm.

21. Ubaldo Jimenez, Colorado Rockies
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     To survive in a homer haven like Coors Field, a
pitcher has to keep the ball out of the air. Jimenez does
that. The big right-hander cut down his walks and
increased his strikeouts last season, developments that
helped cement his status as one of the NL's upper-tier hurlers.

22. Wandy Rodriguez, Houston Astros
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      At home in '09, Rodriguez was one of the best,
ringing up an outstanding 2.08 ERA/1.06 WHIP.On
the road, however, he wasn't as good, with 4.05/1.44 marks.
The drastic split has defined the left-hander's performance
throughout his career, frustrating all his fantasy owners.

23. Ricky Nolasco, Florida Marlins
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Nolasco entered 2009 as a dark-horse Cy Young
candidate, but he struggled so badly in the early going
that the Marlins optioned him to Triple-A in late May.
When he came back though, the right-hander posted
an 11-4 record, a 3.82 ERA and a 158/31 K/BB ratio.

24. Jake Peavy, Chicago White Sox (F)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Peavy's move to the White Sox just before the
Trade Deadline last year was monster news on the
South Side. When he finally took the hill as a White
Sock(?) after recovering from ankle injuries, he won
all three of his starts and posted a 1.35 ERA for Chicago.

25. Chad Billingsley, Los Angeles Dodgers
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      His numbers regressed in '09, but he still has
a power arm. The righty's nasty curve garners strikeouts,
and although his control is an ongoing issue, he
does a great job of not giving up the long ball. As
long he stays healthy, he should rack up 200 strikeouts.

26. Brandon Webb, Arizona Diamondbacks
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Webb is approaching 31 years old, and he's only
been throwing again since February 9. Remember, Webb
is only three seasons removed from a National League
Cy Young award. This is a guy who has never posted
an ERA higher than 3.59 in a full season, so he'll rebound.

27. John Lackey, Boston Red Sox
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Lackey is the new mega-millionaire in Boston, but
how will he transition from the pitcher-friendly American
League West to the hitter-savvy AL East? No need
to worry; Lackey has a 3.50 ERA against AL East clubs
in the past three seasons, so the transition isn't hard. 

28. Brett Anderson, Oakland Athletics (C)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Anderson had excellent splits at home and away (.265
each) and versus right-handed batters (.247). However,
he allowed a .313 batting average and .788 OPS against
left-handed batters. But Anderson is only 22 years old,
and he can only get better. By next year, he's top-25 material.

29. Scott Baker, Minnesota Twins (B)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Scott Baker had great splits in '09 (.217 AVG against
lefties, .275 versus righties, .241 at home, .253 away),
and qualified in the top 10 in two American League major
pitching categories (15 wins (10th) and 1.19 WHIP (7th). Baker
is only 28 years old, and is in the prime of his career.

30. Jair Jurrjens, Atlanta Braves (E)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Jurrjens 2.60 ERA very quietly ranked third-best among
qualified NL starters last season. While his high stranded
baserunners rate and low batting average on balls
in play mean he might not give a repeat performance in 2010,
he will be helped by throwing in a pitcher-friendly ballpark.

31. A.J. Burnett, New York Yankees
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     There are few hurlers who can match Burnett based
on pure stuff. He just doesn't know where it'll end
up. Regardless, with a strikeout rate of nearly a
batter per inning and a slot in the defending champs'
rotation, the righty should provide worthwhile totals.

32. Matt Garza, Tampa Bay Rays (C)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Garza's 8-12 record in 2009 does him no justice. A
lack of run support was the main suspect. The right-hander's peripherals
tell the real story of his abilities, particularly his WHIP (1.26), K/9 ratio (8.40)
and batting average against (.233). Owners who prefer
to use early picks on offense should watch for Garza.

33. Jered Weaver, Los Angeles Angels (B)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Weaver put together a quality 2009 season, establishing
career highs in wins (16), innings pitched (211) and
strikeouts (174). He also lasted four complete games
and hurled two shutouts, which were bested only
by Roy Halladay and Zack Greinke in the American League.

34. Rich Harden, Texas Rangers (F)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      It's back to the American League West for the
flamethrowing Harden, the Rangers new ace after spending
a year and a half throwing smoke for the Chicago Cubs.
While the wiry fire-flinger had trouble keeping the
ball in the yard last season, he hurled 171 K's in 141 innings.

35. Clay Buchholz, Boston Red Sox
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Buchholz is a risky pick here, but you have to
remember that this is a kid who threw a no-hitter in
only his second career start...at age 23! There's a
lot of talent with Buchholz, and his splits vs. righties (.228 BAA) and
at home (.240) prove it. His career 7.65 K/9 rocks.

36. Roy Oswalt, Houston Astros (E)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Oswalt was one of baseball's elite pitchers of
the last decade, but 2009 was a year to forget, as
Oswalt fell short of 200 innings for the first time in
six seasons, and posted a career-worst 4.12 ERA. Still,
his peripheral stats were up to par, and he's proved durable over time.

37. John Danks, Chicago White Sox
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     At 24 years old, Danks has already proven that
he's capable of being a top pitcher in the American League
Central. He'll be 25 a couple weeks into the 2010 season,
and he's ready to take on a big payload. Danks lasted
200.1 innings in 2009, and he allowed a career low .245 BAA.

38. James Shields, Tampa Bay Rays
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     After averaging 13 wins, a 3.71 ERA and 1.13 WHIP from 2007-08,
Shields' production slipped in 2009. His ERA shot over 4.00,
and his BAA rose to .275. Hitters were simply putting
better wood on the ball, as evidenced by the spike
in his line-drive rate from 16.3 percent in '07-08 to 20.5 percent in '09.

39. Chris Young, San Diego Padres (F)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      A right shoulder injury ended Young's 2009 season
in June, but he's made a full recovery. Though his
numbers were down, his fly-ball rate was very good.
A return to full health could lead to a bounce-back campaign
from Young, and a nice draft-day bargain for owners.

40. Tim Hudson, Atlanta Braves (B)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Hudson got off to a pretty good start before his season-ending
surgery in 2009, amassing a 3-1 record, 3.61 earned run
average, and 30 strikeouts over seven games started.
Hudson's 6.38 K/9 was his best mark in that category
since his 2001 campaign when he was a youngster for Oakland.
