I really thought that Eric Campbell would be higher than he was, especially having Van Pope ahead of him.  Anyone else see any eye openers on this list??

I'm a new user and would just like to say that this looks like a wonderful site and i hope to be posting quite a bit in the future.  Now, on to the topic........I'm in a 12 team keeper league and the way the league is set up, there is a 10 round FA draft, and a 10 round Amateur Draft.  Now, this league has been 4 years in the running, and most of the main minor leaguers are taken. Hermida, Young, Upton etc, are all chosen.  Most of the top picks in the 2005 draft have already been selected as well.  Now, i dont know what all you need to be of some assistance, but i have signed up for a subscription at Rotoamerica.com.  For only $10 a year, i figured it would be of some assistance rather than $60 for Baseball America.  My roster right now is Mauer, no 1B, Soriano, Lugo, Rolen, Mora, Crawford, no CF, Ichiro, Carpenter, Schmidt, F. Garcia, Silva, Nathan, Lidge and Baez.  The league is set up with RF/CF/LF and there are 3 SP, 3 RP and 3 P positions.  I basically depleted my minor league system to acquire pro players and i did go from last to 1st last year.  I traded away Dopirak, Hinckley, Rogers, Moses, Wood, Markakis, Howard, Sleeth, Crain, Cain.  My minor leaguers now are Lubanski, Everts, Parra, Gardner, Concepcion, Votto, Chick and Hawksworth.  Here are the players that have been taken so far in the draft.

I have 2 picks every round, in the 8th and 12th slot.  Here are the players i have on my list to look at.  I was wondering if i could get maybe a top 5 from this list, or just state what i need to improve on in my minor league system.

Collin Balester, Eric Patterson, Stephen Head, Jeff Bianchi, Andre Ethier, Ricky Nolasco, Ray Liotta, Adam Lind, Matt Kemp, James Barthmaier, Shane Lindsay, Eddy Martinez-Esteve, Yovani Gallardo, Yuniel Escobar, Chuck James, Nolan Reimold, Marcus Sanders, Anthony Lerew, Garret Olson, Michael Bowden, Bradon Snyder, Kelly Shoppach, Eric Campbell, John Drennen.  Crowe, Pennington, Bogusevic, Marceaux are the only 2005 1st rounders not selected yet.  Also, are there any names im leaving off or any sleeper picks to be aware of?  I know this is a large post, but i figured i'd be descriptive rather than leaving you guys with nothing.  All the help would be appreciated.
