Now that the Sox and Phillies have (mostly) finalized their rosters, it is time to announce the roster of my juggernaut fantasy baseball team, The Burninating Ostriches!SP: Johan Santana, Jake Peavy, Daisuke Matsuzaka, Jason Schmidt, Brad Penny, Anthony Reyes
RP: Mariano Rivera, Salomon Torres, Akinori Otsuka
C: Jorge Posada, Mike Piazza
1B/CI: Lyle Overbay, Richie Sexson
2B: Jeff Kent
SS: Jose Reyes
3B/CI: Garrett Atkins, Chad Tracy
MI: Chris Burke
UTIL: Jim Thome
OF (4 start): Bobby Abreu, Gary Sheffield, Alex Rios, Chris Duncan, Milton Bradley, Garret Anderson
My team is woefully Papelbon-deficient, but efforts are being made to rectify that.
I had Rivera already for saves, so I chose Matsuzaka as a SP, knowing that Closer Boy would likely be gone by my next pick.
My closer situation needs work, especially if Gagne gets most of the saves for Texas.
Chose Johan Santana over Chase Utley with the 6th pick of 1st round.
Didn't want Jose Reyes on my team, what with him being a Met at all, but had to choose him when he fell to me with the 17th pick (I had him rated Top 5.).
Selected 3 Yankees, 2 Garret(t)s, 2 Reyes', 1 Red Sox, 1 Met, 0 Phillies.
Alex Rios, Anthony Reyes, Chris Duncan, and Chris Burke are my sleeper types.
Even Papelbon and Timlin get a little disconcerted when they encounter a Burninating Ostrich out in the wild- I expect a whole roster of Burninating Ostriches should do a good bit of damage of the fantasy baseball realm.

Your team is woefully Papelbon deficient, it's true! But this plus your earlier post resolving to allow Yankees players onto your fantasy team reminded me of last year, when I was semi-dating a girl who was a Yankees fan, and I talked her into drafting Papelbon onto her fantasy team and then he obviously did really well for her, and it caused her a lot of pain. It was hilarious ... if you were me.
The team with Closer Boy has 8 Red Sox on the roster!
I think I want to trade ENTIRE TEAMS!
