first official day

stats for today actually count. unfortunate the cliff lee's decent start against san diego so far, no one has a hit for my squad, and jair jurrjens has gone 6 innings without giving up a run. willy taveras (0 for 2) has the only actual at bats for my team, so it's not like i'm running up a huge string of o-fers. taveras is a guy i had to take based on the hope he'll hit .270 the rest of the way and the reality that he's a monstrous source of steals. coming in as my 15th round pick, he was a lot cheaper than ellsbury, who went at pick 74. incidentally, i really didn't mind getting coco crisp with the 311th pick either.

waivers clear tomorrow, so it'll be interesting to see who was willing to give up their waiver priority to make a move on an undrafted player. i made the possibly dubious move of picking miguel olivo after investing in mike napoli (i waited a while to draft a catcher, ok?) when i probably coulda gotten him as a free agent later.
