Yeah, it was a toss-up for me

I had been considering Olerud for my bench for a few rounds now.

Yeah, I knew everyone already had a 1B so I figured I could wait a bit. When Argo took Delgado, I was actually nervous that you or Skitch was going to take him and my strategy would backfire.

I went back and forth on him and Sandberg for a few rounds before settling on Sandberg. They were my 2/3 ranked 2B.

Because everyone else had second baseman already, and Baerga and Utley were reaches.

I mean... I know WHY, I'm just surprised because I think he's better than most people's starters.

He's about the same. The Sanberg/Biggio/Boone/Kent/Alomar/Knoblach best seasons of that era are all pretty close in terms of oWAR. Baerga being a switch hitter helps. Utley? That one I didnt get with Knoblach still on the board didnt make sense.

Shit, I thought he went early. I would have picked him when I picked Valentin.
