This is my first draft, projecting rosters for the upcoming season. I generally play around with it all the way to the end of spring training. I usually start out a little too enthusiastic and I am always surprised by a few placements when the actual rosters are announced, but it is a fun exercise. The forty man roster is in bold letters. I thought this year I would try to get some other eyes on it to temper my enthusiasm so make plenty of corrections. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
