Draft Day Eve

I can't fall asleep.

I'm looking at stats.

Reading reviews.

Going over rankings.

Looking at last year's draft.

Shifting my interests.

I'm deciding who i'm going to pick... even though i have no idea what draft position i will have for another 18 hours and 3 minutes... and it's driving me crazy.

Since the dawn of ESPN hosting our cherished league, i have had the following draft slots:

2007: 13th
2008: 3rd
2009: 11th
2010: 10th
2011: 11th

I think i'm due for a spot in the top again. At least i hope i am. Or do i hope i am? I seemed to do pretty well with the 11th spot. It would be great to have the 3rd or 4th spot. It would be better to have the 3rd AND 4th spot. And what would i do with one of the wheel positions, drafting 1st or 15th? i'd definitely prefer 15th so i could have the 15th and 16th best players rather than the 1st and 30th. Right?

Ugh.

The truth is that the draft is my most anticipated day of the year in many respects. And even though my first round draft pick, Kevin Youkilis bombed, things still have lots of time to play out. Free agent pick ups (Javy Vazquez namely for me) and trade pickups (Halladay, Lester, Lee and a timely Uggla) can make a huge difference. But it doesn't hurt to have a great draft position which is ALL I CAN THINK ABOUT!

Ok.

In 22 hours, there will be a whole new set of feelings about ALL OF THIS!

Good luck everyone!
