There was a time, not too long ago, when a viable draft strategy was stockpiling middle infielders. Cheap Carl Lawson Jersey . Offensive talent was typically scarce. If you dug deep to roster three elite players at second base, shortstop and middle infield, you would potentially force the other owners to scramble to fill their openings.Even this year, we bemoaned the lack of talent at shortstop. Advice in March centered around making sure to roster one of Carlos Correa, Troy Tulowitzki, Xander Bogaerts or Corey Seager. The penalty for failing to do so was a season of mediocre productivity out of that roster spot. If you could draft two of these top players, you would force the rest of your league to battle for scraps.It should have been a foolproof plan, except nobody told the shortstops. Cheap Trey Hopkins Jersey . The Swede became the first golfer to win the PGA Tours FedEx Cup and European Tours Race to Dubai in the same season. "It is still taking a little time to sink in what Ive achieved this week as was the case when I won the FedEx Cup but then it just kept getting better and better as the days went on and I am sure this will be the same," he said. Cheap Andy Dalton Jersey . The formidable trio of Canadian receivers -- individually known as Chris Getzlaf, Rob Bagg and Andy Fantuz -- will share the field at Mosaic Stadium one more time on Sunday. http:///...edric-peerman-jersey .
