Fantasy Baseball

I am the commissioner of a very competitive high money fantasy baseball league. Two fellow classmates Adam Miller and Luca Giacona are in this league. The draft took place two weeks ago, and every manager believes that their team is the best, and feel that they will win the league. I will discuss my team in detail below. Adam Miller's team name is Willie Sux. Luca Giacona's team name is Cant Stop US. Their blogs discuss their teams in detail.
Analysis of My starting Lineup
Catcher- Brian McCann- Top five fantasy catcher. all star
First base- Prince Fielder- 50 home runs, and possible MVP candidate
Second Baseman- Robinson Cano- Top 3 second baseman, finished in top 3 in batting average
Shortstop- Troy Tulowitzki- Finished second in rookie of the year voting
Third base- Aramis Ramirez- Averages around 30hr, 100 RBI every year, top 5 3rd baseman
Outfield- Gary Sheffield- Great career, with over 400 HR's
Vernon Wells- a very consistent player with 5 tools.
Fukudome/Hamilton- two up and coming players who I feel will break out.
utility- Jim Thome- tremendous power. Closing in on 500 HR's
Carlos Delgado- Once one of the games best power hitters. I feel he can still produce.
Pitchers
Starters- Roy Oswalt- always finishes near the top in wins, ERA, strikeouts and innings pitched
Justin Verlander-also good #'s with wins, ERA and innings pitched. Will be great on a good team.
Brad Penny- Ace-like numbers. starting NL all star pitcher last 2 years.
Jarod Weaver- Young pitcher only getting better on playoff caliber team.
Joe Blanton- Solid numbers to closeout my rotation
Closers - Mariano Rivera- possibly the greatest ever
Jason Isringhausen- 30-40 saves every year
Manny Corpas- Big reason why Rockies made World Series run.
