And no, I don't have a bunch of A's (just Swisher).  I did have Piazza, but I dropped him when he became my 6th DL guy (I'm going to be patient for Mauer & Kendrick).  After being in 2nd or tied for 1st for a couple of weeks (thanks to pitching), I dropped to 8th place in a matter of a few days...  :(

I had also started a team in mlb.com's "2007 Open," but it's boring, so I haven't even looked at it for about a month.  I don't like having to draft a team's entire pitching staff instead of choosing individual pitchers, and only being able to make lineup changes once a week.

were you able to pick up Matt Holliday on waivers?

Must be the least competitive league ever.

currently second place (47-33-4, though it's a logjam near the top); hitting categories are R, RBI, HR, SB, BA, OPS; pitching are W, SV, K, ERA, WHIP, K/BB.  Depth chart as follows:

C: Buck, Doumit
1B: Giambi, Doumit
2B: Kinsler, Kaz Matsui, Easley
SS: Hardy, Peralta, Easley
3B: Blalock (DL), Iwamura (DL), Easley
OF (3): Ordonez, Ramirez, Podsednik (DL), Willits, Hamilton, Jose Guillen, Doumit
Util: Hafner
Util 2: Peralta, Hamilton, Guillen, Doumit

SP: Peavy, Felix, Harden (DL), Verlander, Gaudin, Carmona, Suppan, Hughes (DL), Guthrie, Robertson, McCarthy (acquired yesterday...seems to have gotten his 1 inning starts out of his system)

RP: Rivera, Isringhausen

I could probably use another closer, but aside from that, this team is pretty stacked.  Once guys get healthy (in Harden's case, if they get healthy)...watch out.  Finally down to 5 guys on the DL now that Felix and Matsui are back.

Best waiver-wire pickups: Hardy (drafted Freddy Sanchez...picked up Hardy when he had maybe one home run), J Hamilton, Peralta, Hughes, Carmona, J Guthrie...I've done well so far considering it's a 14-team league and each roster has space for 28 guys + 2 DL spots.  

Worst moves: my later draft picks were pretty bad...Hayden Penn, Seth McClung...but they are long gone by now.

not AN, but again on Yahoo, same categories...best last-place team ever.  It's head-to-head (with the same 12 categories as the AN league), but to determine if my complaints that I was getting really unlucky had any merit, my friend/league commish ran through the season stats and determined what the ranks would be if it was a rotisserie format.  Indeed, I would be in 4th place.  After seeing my team, you'll likely wonder how I'm not in first...at least I do.  Yet somehow I'm 26-53-5, embarrassingly bad, lol.

C: V Martinez
1B: Pujols
2B: Easley (this is the one spot that's been a revolving door after I waited too long to draft Kinsler)
SS: Hardy
3B: Lowell
OF: Bonds
OF: Guerrero
OF: Victorino
Util: Thome
Bench: Ramirez

SP: Peavy, Haren, Felix, James Shields, Oliver Perez, Gorzelanny, Bonderman (DL), Gaudin, Blanton

RP: Ray, Borowski, Dempster, Accardo, Soria

No way that team should be 26-53-5, as the rotisserie standings confirm...I've gotten really unlucky with scheduling.  Played a guy who basically drafted the entire Yankees' roster the week in April when A-Rod had his best week, for example.
