Last night I participated in the inaugural Battle of the Blogs fantasy baseball league draft. It’s a league comprised of 20 baseball bloggers from all across the country, all of whom are part of the Baseball Bloggers Alliance.

I somehow managed the second worst draft position possible with the 11th pick, bested only by fellow Phillies’ blogger Fire Eric Bruntlett who was dead center at 10th. Lucky for me and my draft strategy, no one before me had taken a pitcher, so I was able to nab Roy Halladay (homer pick, I know). I ended up with a decent enough draft for a 20 team league, with Halladay and Josh Beckett at the top of my rotation and Adam Dunn, Manny Ramirez and Ichiro in the heart of my lineup. I’m weaker in the bullpen then I normally prefer, with Rockies’ closer Huston Street as my best arm, but there’s no runaway favorite in a league this big. And while I like my team better, my friend Max over at Fire Eric Bruntlett prides himself as being a bit of a fantasy sports guru, so I’m sure he sees something in his team that I have missed.

The league should be a lot of fun and a great way to learn more about other teams. The league consists of bloggers from all across the major leagues, including the Yankees, Orioles, Royals and Astros. I will periodically post updates on the league as the season progresses. I highly recommend you check out the other blogs in the league, as I have posted their information below. Wish me luck. I’m going to need it.
