All-Fantasy Team

Here's my weekly look at the top-scoring players overall at each position. This list is based on standard scoring in a 5x5 league. The number in parentheses is the number of consecutive weeks the player has been named to the All-Fantasy Team. For instance, this will be Russell Martin's second straight week as the top catcher:

First baseman: Derrek Lee, Cubs (1) // .375, 11 RBIs, 10 runs, 2 SBs

Second baseman: Ian Kinsler, Rangers (1) // .318, 7 HRs, 14 RBIs, 12 runs, 2 SBs

Third baseman: Alex Rodriguez, Yankees (2) // .351, 10 HRs, 26 RBIs, 17 runs

Shortstop: Jose Reyes, Mets (2) // .356, 12 RBIs, 18 runs, 8 SBs

Outfielder: Carlos Lee, Astros (1) // .296, 5 HRs, 17 RBIs, 11 runs

Outfielder: Eric Byrnes, Diamondbacks (1) // .306, 3 HRs, 13 RBIs, 10 runs, 5 SBs

Outfielder: Adam Dunn, Reds (2) // .317, 4 HRs, 9 RBIs, 11 runs, 4 SBs

Starting pitcher: Josh Beckett, Red Sox (2) // 3-0, 1.50 ERA, 18 K, 0.83 WHIP

Starting pitcher: Roy Oswalt, Astros (1) // 3-0, 2.89 ERA, 20 K

Starting pitcher: Felix Hernandez, Mariners (2) // 2-1, 1.56 ERA, 18 K, 0.69 WHIP

Relief pitcher: Huston Street, Athletics (1) // 2-1, 4 saves, 2.89 ERA, 10 K, 0.96 WHIP

Relief pitcher: Chris Ray, Orioles (1) // 1-1, 5 saves, 10 K, 0.46 WHIP

Can you shead some light on why ESPN's free leagues don't have the same roster numbers, the same active positions, or even remotely resembles what they have had for purchase the last several years? They even restricted the number of starts for SPs from 180 to 120! It's a very watered down version of the past. I am in a few but they are not very challenging & most owners seem to be inactive. Conversely, the yahoo fantasy, still free, made customizing available for public leagues, UNLIKE ESPN, & improved their look & operation. I created a couple & copied the former ESPN active rosters, CI, MI, 5 OFers active etc...
