Orioles Add another arm
The Orioles have agreed to terms on a deal with lefty Dontrelle Willis on a minor league deal.(I got the news from mlbtr.com, owner Tim Dierkes, and Mike Axisa wrote the story, link is here http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2010/03/meet-the-mlbtr-writing-team.html). He might make the team but I really think this is a depth move, but with the Orioles you never really know. (This was also posted on the Offical Stokes Sports Site, Tuckers's ESPN blog, and Tucker's blog on blogspot, this work is a Stokes Sports Production and may only be used on a Stokes Sports site, so it may NOT be copied in any way).
More Coverage Below That is NOT on the ESPN blog but may be added to Tucker's Blog on Blogspot, Tumbler, or other Stokes Sports Web Page.
This is a depth move, nothing more. If he can return to the old Willis then this is a GREAT move other wise it is a minor league deal that could impact the MLB club in the bullpen. If you want to try for a ace this is how, sign a guy who COULD be an ace to a minor league deal but I doubt he will make any impact to a large degree in the MLB. But this is what the Orioles need to do, if they plan to turn this around sooner

Draft Notes
Texas thirdbaseman, 4th selection bought by "two for the money" for $24, $3 over value,
If your taking notes, write this: "it is important to get the first overall player, to make a statement but only at a fair price."
Yankees 2nd baseman (my pick) to me for $36 $6 over value but a fair price because that is a thin position in fantasy terms
Boston First baeman Adrian Gonzolez to team jones for $31, $9 over value
Yankees DH Raul Ibanz to team Edmonds for $5, $4 over value
Miami SS to me for $29, $5 over value but at another thin spot.
Brewers Pitcher John Axford to team Fagan for $11, his value
Reds 1B to me for $33, $5 over value but I value him higher.
Dustin Pedroia and Joby Ellsbury both for value(team jone for both)
Jimmy Rollins for $12, equal to value, team smith
Matt Kemp for $ 40 value is $33 to Jones
Justin Upton for $37, value $29, to me
G. Stanton value was $22, he sold for $27 to team Nult
UT. Mike Aviles for $1, that is his value, to team Jones
CC Sabithia value $ 17, for $21 to team Smith
Starlin Castro, value $15, for $20 to team Nault
Ok I have to focus now,
This is Tucker, SIgning off

The next two picks have fallen
After my winning bid it seems ok to have overpaid because now Rockies SS Troy Tulowitzki and Tigers 1B/3B Miguel Cabrera were bought at much higher than value prices, my small gamble seems even smaller after those moves by one guy.
First bids placed
I have won the first player, Tampa thirdbaseman Evan Longoria I over paid by two dollars but being the first pick this goes along way to making a statement that you are there for business. That couples well with being aggressive on the fourms.
Time to draft
Hello, I will be drafting today while doing so I will blog every few picks and give some highlights of the draft each post along with things that I or the other drafters should have or could have done differently. For the record it is a standard ESPN fantasy draft, auctions style.
