The Puck Stops Here

I like baseball. Its a fun diversion when the NHL is not in season (is that 12 months a year now?). Today a group of hockey buddies got together online to have our annual fantasy baseball draft. I do not claim we know a lot about baseball, so you may see some of our picks as questionable. Nevertheless, we had a good draft and I hope will have a great season.
